Team,

I’m honored to be reaching out to you today after being unanimously elected President of the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association this past weekend. As you know, I took over as Interim President in January of this year – and I am grateful for the trust our members have in me to lead our organization for the next 2 years.

Now that I’ve been officially elected, one of the most important aspects of my job is ensuring we have the resources to carry out all of our plans for November – and that’s where I need you. Can you help celebrate my election by investing in IDCCA right now?

Now, I want to talk to you about my agenda for the next 2 years:

• Kane County was once considered a Republican stronghold. Working with a coalition of different groups, we got back to the basics of voter contact. Knocking on doors, going to parades, talking to voters, and showing that the Democratic Party is growing. It didn’t happen overnight but now the Kane County Republican Party is almost nonexistent. I want to take this plan statewide to help all of our counties build stronger County Parties like we did in Kane County.
• We will make sure that Joe Biden gets re-elected.
• We will help Democrats retake control of Congress, which starts by sending back all Democratic members of the Illinois Congressional Delegation.
• And we must return the supermajorities to Springfield for Speaker Welch and President Harmon to continue supporting Governor JB Pritzker’s agenda.

As you know, electing Democrats up and down the ballot – especially in places considered Republican strongholds – is difficult and expensive. That said, I am confident that I have the experience we need to be victorious – because I’ve already transformed the formerly Republican stronghold of Kane County into a reliably blue County.

Will you make a contribution right now to help celebrate my election, and invest in our major goals for November? Everything we do between now and Election Day is dependent on how many resources we have.

I’m honored to be with you on this journey and thank you!

Mark Guethle
President, IDCCA
