SOLD OUT: Jesse Watters will speak before packed house at MSPC's Fall Dinner in CDA
Nearly 600 guests will gather Saturday, October 24, for Mountain States Policy Center’s sold-out 2026 Fall Dinner & Anniversary Gala, featuring keynote speaker Jesse Watters of Fox News Channel.
Festivities begin at 4:00 p.m., with dinner and the program starting at 6:00 p.m. Now the region’s most anticipated free-market event of the year, the annual fundraiser supports MSPC’s research, education and outreach programs.
“This evening celebrates the people and ideas moving our region forward,” said Chris Cargill, president and CEO of Mountain States Policy Center. “A sold-out crowd of nearly 600 reflects the growing enthusiasm for our mission and the demand for thoughtful research that protects freedom and expands opportunity.”
Alongside Watters’ keynote address, the evening will feature the presentation of MSPC’s highest honor, the Elevation Award. This year’s recipients are Jeremy and Melissa Radford, recognized for their three-year effort advancing short-term rental reform in Idaho, and Bill and Milly Kay Baldwin, honored for their foundational support and leadership in building MSPC.
MSPC will also present a $5,000 Sawtooth Leadership Academy scholarship, recognizing an emerging leader and celebrating the academy’s work preparing the next generation to advance freedom and sound public policy.
The program will highlight MSPC’s policy achievements, civic education initiatives and plans for the future. Guests will join community leaders, policymakers and fellow supporters to celebrate the organization’s impact and help fund its continued growth.
“Our supporters make this work possible,” Cargill said. “Every contribution helps us equip citizens and policymakers with the research and ideas needed to build a freer, more prosperous Mountain West.”
The event is sold out. Those wishing to support MSPC’s work can contribute at mountainstatespolicy.org/support.
