Fellow Republicans, 


Our primary votes have made it clear that Republicans are energized to elect strong leaders who will fight for us in Springfield and Washington! Primaries are unfortunately naturally divisive, however, now that the 2024 primary is over, it’s time for Republicans to unify and move forward to build a brighter future for Illinois. 


Throughout this 2024 Presidential primary, the Illinois Republican Party has followed our policy of strict neutrality in open seat primaries. Now that the Illinois primary voters have spoken, we congratulate former President Trump, for winning the Illinois primary and the Republican nomination for President of the United States. Thank you to the thousands of Republicans who took part in this primary election for voting, volunteering, and making your voices heard.

 

Our thanks includes everyone who voted in the Illinois Republican primary and thereby participated in the electoral process including those who voted for and/or supported President Trump and other great Republicans like Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy, Doug Burgum, Chris Christie, Mike Pence, Larry Elder, Frances Suarez, Asa Hutchinson, Perry Johnson, Will Hurd, and others.

 

Now that the primary is finally over, I ask that all Republicans regardless of who you supported in our primary to help recruit, encourage and persuade all of our fellow Republicans and independents, to join forces with us and help re-elect President Trump in November. We need strong Republicans up and down the ballot to defeat the greatest threat to our great country since World War II, the radical leftists who have taken over the Democrat party, and now drive the Biden-Pritzker agenda of open borders, pro-criminal legislation, higher taxes, and inflationary non-defense government spending.


Protecting hard earned taxpayer dollars was heard loud and clear in Chicago as Mayor Brandon Johnson’s tax ballot referendum appears headed to defeat. This suggests that even 
Chicacgo voters are rejecting the radical progressivism that has taken over the Democrats, which should enhance our opportunity to elect more Republicans in this state. Toward that end, Illinois Republicans will keep the focus on kitchen table issues, and other issues impacting families from Waukegan to Carbondale, including school choice and curriculum issues, which will help Republicans make strides in Illinois and send a message to JB Pritzker that Illinois is not the radical leftist progressive state he thinks it is. Onward to November!

You might ask why we were doing a fundraiser outside of Illinois. One of the most popular states for people leaving Illinois is Florida, which is also popular for Illinoisans who have a second home or former Illinois residents that now reside in Florida. In fact, Naples is so popular I think there was a Republican fundraiser almost every night there in March, which means there is a lot of competition for the Illinois ex-pat Naples dollar. Our sincere thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis who graciously agreed to help fundraise for the Illinois Republican Party and big thanks to RNC Committeeman Richard Porter for bringing a high-profile speaker. Tickets are selling fast, so RSVP today! 
 
 

We examined the voting records of all of the commissioned Republican election judges in the City of Chicago and in suburban Cook County. It is apparent that far too many Republican election judges actually have a history of voting in Democratic primaries. We simply must do a better job of filling our Republican election judge positions with actual Republicans. If we do not fill these positions, the Democrats will. I encourage any Republican who lives in Cook County to take the extra step in participating in the electoral process by becoming an election judge. Sign up to be an election judge! 
 

 

Calling all Republicans, Conservatives, and Patriots. We need all eyes on the ballot! Election judges serve a crucial role in ensuring fair and transparent elections. Encourage all your friends, family members, neighbors, and colleagues to serve as election judges for the general election! Sign up to be an election judge in your county!

In case you have recently moved or just wish to check your registration status go to https://ova.elections.il.gov/RegistrationLookup.aspx to make sure that your voter registration is up to date ahead of the crucial 2024 election cycle.

Local Capacity Building 

 

Something exciting is happening with Local Republican Party Organizations: Seventeen local Republican organizations across the state have recently received massive financial support totalling over $126,000 with some organizations receiving checks for $13,700. These organizations are part of Surus Illinois' Battle Program, a comprehensive, first of its kind offering for local county and township Republican Party organizations providing planning and operational support, voter data and modeling, easy-to-use voter contact technology, extensive marketing and communications resources, and strategic guidance. These local organizations are vitally important to Surus Illinois' mission to Turn Illinois Red - a mission the Illinois Republican Party shares! If your organization is interested in joining Surus Illinois' Battle Program, you can reach out to CJ Gallo at [email protected].

The Parents Matter Coalition (PMC) was started by a group of Illinois parents concerned with protecting their children. As the state of Illinois continues to encroach upon parents’ right to be involved in their children’s lives – particularly within the context of major life-altering decisions such as abortion or gender modifying therapies and treatments – PMC came together to push back against the government’s interference in parent-child relationships. Together, the coalition introduced a ballot initiative (referred to as the ‘Right to Parent’ initiative) that poses a very simple question: should parental consent be required for any minor child to receive life-altering treatments? If the 500,000 signature minimum is met by April of 2024, this question will appear on the ballot of every voter in the state on Election Day. The Parents Rights Initiative is a signature petition drive to support a Ballot Advisory Question (BAQ) to collect 500,000 signatures to secure a place on the November 2024 General Election Ballot. We will do this when we engage 50,000 volunteer circulators from around the state representing a multitude of organizations all committed to a parent’s right to parent their minor children. Please help us gather the 500,000 signatures needed to get this on the Fall ballot by printing the petition form from the website and asking your family, friends and colleagues to sign the petition.
 

Thank you for all you do and for supporting the Illinois Republican Party.


Sincerely,


Don Tracy
