Governor of Illinois

Senator of Massachusetts 

JB Pritzker 

Elizabeth Warren

Governor JB Pritzker is Illinois’ 43rd Governor, elected in 2018 and reelected in 2022 with the highest vote share for any Democratic governor in more than 60 years. Since taking office, he has accomplished one of the most ambitious policy agendas in the nation.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is a leading voice on economic reform, consumer protection, and income inequality. She is known for her advocacy on behalf of working families and her role in creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Carl Albert, affectionately known as 'Little Giant,' wasn't always the tallest or loudest person in a room, but he commanded respect and wielded more sway than any other elected Oklahoman. We gather not just to remember his story - but to write the next chapter.

This dinner isn’t about being seen. It’s about seeing each other—and recognizing what’s possible when we lead with heart, grit, and a commitment to more than ourselves.

Let’s gather. Let’s celebrate. Let’s build.

Painted Portrait of Speaker Carl Albert

George Nigh was elected Governor of Oklahoma in 1978, becoming the first governor to win all 77 Oklahoma counties. Four years later, he became the first Oklahoma governor to win re-election.

His life was marked by a persistent call to public service. Nigh served as the youngest Lieutenant Governor in the nation and stepped into the office of governor twice before being elected- delivering each time.

Governor Nigh's story reminds us that when we are called to serve our communities, we listen. That is why we're honoring him.
