Hey team,

You’ve no doubt seen all the chaotic news coming out of D.C. Republicans have ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy and are incapable of electing a replacement. To add to that, the government is set to shut down in just 27 days. If there isn’t a speaker in office soon, Americans will pay the price.

You may be wondering, how does everything going on at the federal level apply to the work IDCCA does with the County Democratic Party and County Chairs?

In reality, everything is connected.

Once you leave some of our more urban areas in Illinois, the political ideology starts leaning more and more Republican, and leaders from the county level to the federal level are being inspired by the MAGA-extremism they’re seeing modeled in Congress.

This is why our work matters. MAGA Republicans who serve at the local level have the power to inflict extremist damage on Illinois residents. Extremism – no matter where it starts — is a problem we have a duty to fight back against.

And we need your help to do that. We cannot allow MAGA, Trump-esque, extremism to trickle down to our local and county governments. We’re working every day to train thousands of candidates to contest these extremists, and win these elections. Rush a contribution right now to help us recruit, train and support these candidates →

Thanks for all you do,
