We’re delighted to announce our speakers for the 2026 Miller Leadership Dinner:
Governor Bob Ferguson returns to the keynote slot! Wise and kind, this master strategist shares his insight of the long game in a way that brings his audience to their feet.
John Duresky, the Democrat running to replace Newhouse. He’s a veteran, worked at Hanford, and has been campaigning hard across the 4th Congressional District. Take this opportunity to increase his momentum.
Lauren Davis, Washington’s 32nd District State Representative, key in getting funding for our Columbia Valley Recovery Center. She is a leader in behavioral health issues and an outstanding speaker.
And there’s MORE! We will celebrate Ken and Karen Buxton, this year’s Leadership Award recipients for the tireless work in building the Benton County Democratic Party!
Truth is our compass. We believe facts matter, that integrity guides action, and transparency fosters trust. Without truth, progress stalls; with it, clarity and accountability thrive.
