Over the weekend, Illinois Republican Party chair Don Tracy sent out a mailer to registered Republican voters with a special gift enclosed – a Sustaining Membership Card for the 2024 election year embossed with your name in gold – and a message that this card “speaks volumes about your patriotism” and “it’s a testament to to your investments in our Party and our candidates.”

The letter goes on to say that “it’s not always easy being a Republican in Illinois, but this year, there is hope.”
