Team,
Hi, I’m Mark Guethle, the President of the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association (IDCCA), and Chair of the Kane County Democratic Party.
I have an important message, and in a moment, I’m going to ask you to split a donation between the Democratic Party of Illinois and the IDCCA, the largest and most active grassroots Democratic partner in Illinois focused on being a resource for Democratic County Parties. But first, I hope you’ll take the time to hear me out:
Across our state, Democrats are fighting to make real change happen at the local and county level. In my time at IDCCA, Illinois has become a leader in reproductive freedom, fiscal growth, and in uplifting and protecting union workers and working families. Illinois Democrats have fought for transformative progress – passing legislation to defend abortion access, protect our democracy, and make our communities safer.
Meanwhile, in GOP-controlled states, extremists are abusing their power to chip away at our most basic rights and freedoms through dangerous abortion bans, voter suppression bills, and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
The contrast is clear – Democrats are working to better the lives of working families, while Republicans are hell-bent on controlling them.
Republicans are sending us down a dangerous path that puts our democracy at risk. But right now, we have a chance to halt this downward trajectory – to repair the damage that right-wing extremists are doing to our democratic institutions and secure a more progressive future by building our Democratic power at the county and local level.
From organizing communities to building electoral infrastructure, our County Democratic Parties are critical to preserving our democracy. Will you split a donation right now between IDCCA and DPI to help elect Democrats at the local and county level this fall? Anything you can spare is meaningful in this fight. >>

The GOP is relying on building power at the local and county level this year to continue pushing their cruel and unpopular agenda, but we have a chance to turn the tide and elect Democratic leaders who will fight tooth and nail to defend our values against Republican extremism.
Together, we can set the stage for Democratic victories down ballot across the state, but it’ll take massive grassroots support from committed Democrats.
If you’re able, please split a donation of $10, $20, or whatever you can spare right now between the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association and the Democratic Party of Illinois to help build Democratic power down ballot this November. >>
