“The lack of transparency is astounding.”

Friends,

House Democrats drew the maps.

Governor Pritzker approved the maps.

Then we took it all to federal court.

Democrats thought they could get away with drawing partisan maps in secrecy without having solid data from the census -- and we have proven them wrong.

It’s not just our intention to hold the Democrats accountable for attempting to make more shady back-room deals and rush the map-making process -- it’s our responsibility.

  Do you agree?

I need to hear it from you, Friends:

Do you think suing the Dems is the right move?

Politics is messy on its best day, but Springfield Democrats were WAY OFF when calculating the population in certain districts. Then they tried to go back and fix the problem. When dealing with something as important as maps and redistricting (which affects taxes, infrastructure, education, and funding), that is UNACCEPTABLE!

The long and the short of it is this, Friends -- the maps the Democrats have created are unconstitutional, and Republicans in Illinois are not the only group suing them for this gross miscarriage of equality. Will you let me know if you agree with this course of action?

Thank you,

Don Tracy

Chairman

Illinois Republican Party
