Friend,
Mayor Brandon Johnson unveiled a $16.6 billion budget he claims will “protect Chicago.” His plan? Blame conservatives for a $1.19 billion deficit — then hit families and businesses with $438 million in new taxes and fees. No reform, no restraint — just higher costs.
He’s proposing a $21 per employee head tax on companies with 100+ workers, a social media tax on users of Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and X, a 14% cloud tax hike, and new taxes on rideshares, boats, and even online betting. These aren’t policies that “protect Chicago” — they punish success, kill jobs, and drive families out.
Meanwhile in Springfield, Democrats are plotting a new redistricting scheme to cement their power while Gov. Pritzker wages political war on Republicans to boost his own ambitions. And while they’re busy protecting their power, working families are paying more and getting less — higher taxes, rising crime, fewer opportunities, and thousands leaving the state they once loved.
In veto session, Democrats also passed a $2.5 billion Mass Transit Bailout, including $1.5 billion in new taxes and $1 billion in toll hikes — the largest road fund raid in Illinois history. They followed it with their so-called “Green New Giveaway”, an $8 billion energy scheme that will drive up utility bills, weaken our power grid, and hand authority to unelected bureaucrats. Add in their immigration bill tying law enforcement’s hands and another round of business tax hikes, and it’s clear: Democrats are out of touch and out of control.
Illinois is at a crossroads. But I still believe in our people, in our home — and in you. We’re organizing across the state to expose corruption, recruit the next generation of conservative leaders, and restore common sense to Illinois government.
If you’re tired of watching Illinois fall into the hands of corrupt elites, if you believe Illinois can be prosperous, proud, and free again — I’m asking you personally to stand with us. Every voice, every dollar, every ounce of energy matters in this fight to take Illinois back.
Together, we can turn the tide. With resolve and faith in our future.

Do you think people who’ve moved to Tennessee, Florida, or California should still be shaping Illinois’ leaders and laws? Of course not. Yet it happens—unless we act.
A volunteer working group across the Collar Counties and Cook County is helping former Illinois residents remove their names from the voter rolls where they used to live.
Volunteers hand-address envelopes that notify movers that their registration may still be active here and encourage them to take action.
A similar effort in Pennsylvania reportedly achieved a 28% success rate. The blueprint exists—now it needs two things: stamps and handwriters.
How you can help
In DuPage, Cook, Lake, or Will: drop off unused or newly purchased stamps. Outside those counties: you can still help—contribute stamps or volunteer to handwrite. Contact Project Director Willard Helander at [email protected] for the drop-off or mailing address and next steps.
This project can move the needle locally and statewide—and it can be replicated across all 102 Illinois counties. If you’re looking for a concrete, personal way to get involved, reach out to Willard and let her know you want to help clean up Illinois’ voter rolls.
