Keynote Speaker: Wen Chen
The 2026 Skagit County Republican Party's Annual Lincoln / Reagan Day Gala is this Saturday, May 16 - The event be at the spectacular Corporate Air Center in Burlington, 15425 Airport Dr. This Year's Keynote Speaker is Wen Chen.
Wen Chen was born in China at the end of the Great Cultural Revolution. Being victims of the horrific atrocity that killed two million intellectuals and destroyed traditional Chinese culture, Wen's parents had mixed feelings about her education. Despite their discouragement, Wen eventually won a national science prize at age 16.
In 1994, Wen came to the U.S. for graduate school and earned a doctorate in biology from the California Institute of Technology in 2000. Because of her personal experience of being brainwashed in China, she decided to be a voice for the voiceless. Since 2012, she has given hundreds of presentations to community organizations about Chinese culture, history, and human rights. Wen has been working as a scientific staff for Caltech since 2000.
