Dear Illinois Republican Family,

This week, the entire country saw what we in Illinois have known for years: Governor JB Pritzker is dangerously unfit to lead.

In his long-overdue testimony before Congress, Governor Pritzker faced tough, pointed questions—and instead of delivering honest answers, he delivered a masterclass in spin, evasion, and blame-shifting. He twisted himself into a political pretzel trying to justify the indefensible: his open-arms embrace of illegal immigration, his unwavering loyalty to Joe Biden’s failed agenda, and his refusal to confront the public safety crisis unfolding in our state.

For years, JB Pritzker has ducked accountability for the border chaos he helped create. Under his watch, Illinois has become a sanctuary state—not for law-abiding citizens, but for criminal, illegal immigrants. He funneled taxpayer dollars into failed migrant programs while ignoring the pleas of overwhelmed communities and law enforcement officers. He refused to take meaningful action, and now, when finally called to answer for it under oath, he lied.

During the interview, Pritzker:

Lied about criticizing Joe Biden’s open-border policies despite years of parroting the administration's talking points and refusing to demand stronger enforcement.
Couldn't say if men should be using women’s restrooms, once again dodging common-sense questions on gender policy that directly impact the safety and privacy of Illinois families.
Tried to pretend he wasn’t Joe Biden’s biggest cheerleader and willingly made Illinois a safe haven for illegal immigrants, even though he campaigned for him, praised his immigration policy, and willingly transformed Illinois into a safe haven for illegal immigrants—no questions asked.

The consequences of Pritzker’s failed leadership are real. Working families are footing the bill for his political agenda. Law enforcement is stretched thin. Local officials—Democrats and Republicans alike—are sounding the alarm. But Pritzker is too focused on scoring national headlines and courting far-left donors to care about the people he was elected to serve.

This is not leadership. This is political cowardice wrapped in empty rhetoric.

Illinoisans deserve better.

We need leaders who will put the safety, sovereignty, and values of our state ahead of personal presidential ambitions and party loyalty. We need leaders who will secure our communities, respect our laws, and stand up for working families—not illegal immigrants and progressive extremists.

The fight for Illinois is far from over. With your continued support, we will hold JB Pritzker accountable. We will restore integrity to Springfield. And we will build a stronger, safer Illinois for future generations.

Stand with us. Speak out. Stay involved.

Election Integrity continues to be a cornerstone priority for the Republican Party—not just nationally, but right here in Illinois. One of the most impactful ways we can protect and strengthen our election systems is by ensuring that competent, effective Republican County Clerks are elected across our state.

In 2026, County Clerks will be on the ballot throughout Illinois. If your current County Clerk is a Democrat and has not demonstrated the leadership, organization, or commitment this role demands, conservatives must take action. And if your county is in need of new leadership in this position, we encourage you to get involved and speak with your local County Republican Party Chairman.

These roles are crucial—not only because of their direct responsibility for ensuring fair and secure elections, but also because County Clerks manage a broad range of essential county operations. Their decisions impact everything from election integrity, election transparency, and public records to local administration. We cannot afford to leave these critical positions to chance. Illinois needs the very best people at the helm of our local governments.
