--
It has officially been one month on the campaign trail. Thank you
all for your support this far!
Most of you are parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. On the
one year anniversary of "14 days to slow the spread," it is clear how
much our children have suffered socially and developmentally. They
missed out on months of school, sports, proms and more.
Graduation season is coming soon. SIU-Carbondale has announced that
they will host an outdoor ceremony for 2020 and 2021 graduates. I
wrote this letter to encourage Governor J.B. Pritzker, Dr. Ngozi
Ezike, and Dr. Carmen Ayala to allow high schools and middle schools
to host indoor, in person graduation ceremonies this year.

PETITION.
ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL
In the last week, I spoke at a
meeting at the Milton Township Republicans, attended a fundraiser in
Orland Park, and hosted a Facebook Live with Regional Superintendent
of Schools, Kelton Davis. Click

you missed it!
IN THE
PRESS
Schimpf on the Campaign Trail, Republic Times
Here is a very kind quote in the article from my friend Senator
Terri Bryant, "It's been a very long time since we as
Illinoisans had somebody who we could look at and say 'this guy is the
real deal.' When people ask me, 'does Paul Schimpf have a chance to
win?' I say, 'I've never seen anybody who has a better
chance.'"
Schimpf calls Frerich's letter 'an
embarrassment'
“This letter from Treasurer Frerichs is an embarrassment,"
Schimpf said. "In these trying financial times, he should be worrying
about maximizing the rate of return for Illinois investors, not
bullying asset managers about their political donations. I expect this
type of conduct from an Iraqi despot, not the Treasurer of the State
of Illinois.”
ON PAUL'S
CALENDAR
Today at 4pm we are hosting a Facebook Live marking one month since
we announced my campaign for Governor. Follow along at this link.
Have a wonderful week!
S/F,
Paul
