Dear Illinois Republicans,

The Illinois Republican National Team — National Committeeman Dean White, National Committeewoman Rhonda Belford, and I — proudly attended the RNC Summer Meeting in Atlanta to ensure Illinois families have a strong voice at the table. These meetings shape the direction of our Party, and Illinois is being heard loud and clear.

Serving as Party Chair, National Committeeman, and National Committeewoman is 100% volunteer work. None of us take a salary, and we personally pay for our own travel and expenses. Why? Because we believe in the future of Illinois families, and we know the stakes for our state and our country couldn’t be higher.

Across the nation, Republicans are winning the battle of ideas. In Washington, the Big Beautiful Bill stopped the largest tax increase in American history — protecting working families from being crushed by reckless Democrat spending. Not a single Democrat stood with us. Once again, it was Republicans standing up for the people, standing up for common sense, and standing up for freedom. Visit https://www.whitehouse.gov/obbb/ for more information.

Here in Illinois, our fight continues. We know our families are burdened by high taxes, dangerous crime, and a broken education system. We know the radical Democrat machine has failed us — and Illinois deserves better. That is why Illinois Republicans are working every single day to build a stronger, more unified movement that can win.

We also want to take a moment to thank Chairman Michael Whatley for his service as RNC Chair as he embarks on his campaign for the U.S. Senate. Chairman Whatley’s leadership has strengthened our Party and prepared us for victory in 2024 and beyond. We wish him the very best as he continues his service to our country in this next chapter.

We also congratulate Joe Gruters (FL) as the new RNC Chairman. We look forward to working closely with him as he leads the Republican National Committee with energy and vision, uniting our Party and building momentum for November 2026.

We proudly stand with President Donald J. Trump. Together, we are advancing the America First agenda — securing our borders, strengthening our economy, protecting parental rights, and restoring law and order. Illinois Republicans are all in. We are growing our grassroots, expanding our outreach, and preparing to deliver victory up and down the ballot.

This is a movement built on service, sacrifice, and conviction. And with your support, we will deliver a brighter future for our families, our state, and our nation.

Stand with us. Fight with us. Stand proudly with President Trump — and together we will build a stronger Illinois and a stronger America.

Stand with us
