2022 Frances Perkins Award Celebration

The biennial Frances Perkins Award Dinner honors a Lincoln County Democrat who exemplifies, through their efforts, the continuing legacy of Frances Perkins. Grounded by summers with her grandmother in Newcastle, Perkins, FDR’s Secretary of Labor, was the lead advocate of the New Deal for Social Security, the 40-hour work week, workers’ compensation, and unemployment insurance, as well as for laws regulating child labor. Lincoln County Democrats and Frances Perkins Award recipients strive to maintain these social reforms and extend the same political wisdom toward the problems and concerns of our time.

This year’s honoree is
Barbara “Barb” Burt
