Friend, 

This week, Republicans in Virginia turned out, winning very important elections, and laying the groundwork for Illinois Republicans to follow in 2022. 

I’m thrilled to see Governor-Elect Youngkin win in Virginia. But it isn’t just that he won, it’s how he won. He ran a thoughtful, inspired campaign that spoke to voters on what matters most—their wallets, their freedom, and, most importantly, their children.
 
This is also my vision for our state, and I fully believe that this is the blueprint for how to connect with voters and win in Illinois, as well. Illinoisans are fed up with corrupt, partisan politics and the blue-red divide and just want to know that their communities are safe, the economy is strong, and they can give their kids the best possible future.
  
Governor-Elect Youngkin was able to persuade voters across the ideological spectrum, regardless of party, by appealing to their core values and priorities. And, just as Youngkin stressed in his campaign, nothing is more important to me than for parents—not the government—to have the power to decide what’s best for kids when it comes to education, health, and more.
  
A pro-family reset is long overdue which is why I've proposed an “Illinois Parents’ Bill of Rights,” which ensures that parents of minor children have a variety of educational, financial, and health-related rights when it comes to raising their kids as they see fit.

Let’s restore the relationship between the parents of Illinois and their government to one that gives back to parents the autonomy and respect that they never should have lost in the first place.

S/F,

Paul Schimpf

In the News

This week I joined the Galeburg's Morning News radio show to talk about a wide range of issues in Illinois and how we have a leadership deficit under JB Pritzker. Illinoisans are ready for change and I share why I can be the change Illinois needs.

Attention Elmhurst and DuPage County-Area Supporters

A week from today, November 12th, I'll be hosting a discussion on my experience prosecuting Saddam Hussein at Elmhurst Brewing Company starting at 11:30am—you're invited to attend!

I served as the lead American attorney advisor to the Iraqi prosecutors in the trial of Hussein. Under my guidance, the Iraqi prosecutors were able to induce a remarkable courtroom confession where Saddam admitted culpability in the massacre of hundreds of Iraqi civilians.

At our event next week, I'll be sharing some behind-the-scenes details and accounts from the experience.

RSVPs are required to attend so sign up by getting your tickets here!
