Fellow Republicans,


I wanted to take a moment to share some good news. This past week at the RNC Midwest Training, Illinois had the opportunity to showcase the important work we’ve been doing and the progress we’ve made.


Thanks to our partnership with the RNC and State Party Strategies, we’ve modernized our Illinois Republican Party website, strengthened our communications, and worked hand-in-hand with other state parties to deliver a clear, unified Republican message. We’re showing that Illinois Republicans are organized, energized, and ready to lead.


One example I’m especially proud of is the work we’ve done to push back against Governor J.B. Pritzker’s national ambitions. By staying disciplined and timely, we’ve made sure his record of higher taxes, rising crime, and fiscal mismanagement is front and center. Instead of letting Democrats shape the narrative, we’re defining it—and the media is taking notice.


We’re also making real progress where it matters most: at the ballot box. With the RNC’s support, we built an Election War Room in 2024, deployed Zendesk to strengthen our election hotline, and boosted absentee and early voting—laying strong foundations for 2026. The result? President Trump cut the margin in Illinois in half compared to prior cycles. That’s not just progress—that’s momentum.


But here’s the most important part: this momentum isn’t just about what the party leadership is doing—it’s about all of us. Every volunteer, every donor, every Republican who shares our message and gets involved is part of this movement. When we rang the bell, it wasn’t just a tradition—it was a symbol of renewed Republican energy and determination right here in Illinois.


Now, we need to keep building. Illinois is proving that Republicans can win—even in a Democrat stronghold—when we’re united and disciplined. And we need more people like you to step up, join us, and be part of this fight.


So, let’s keep pushing forward. Let’s grow our movement. And let’s show the country what Illinois Republicans can do together.








My sincere thanks to St. Clair County Chairman Michael Butler and Champaign County Chair Dr. Susan Mantell for joining National Committeewoman Rhonda Belford and I for the RNC Midwest meeting.
