Three pickup opportunities in Illinois

I ran for this position for one reason

2 years ago I ran for the position of President of the IDCCA for one reason, team: Because Democratic success in Illinois is earned, not guaranteed. There’s no such thing as a “red state” or a “blue state”. We’ve spent a lot of time, energy, and elbow grease to keep Democrats here in Illinois engage…

Since 2024, there’s been a lot of problem-solving and dissection from national Democrats, especially in the last couple weeks. One of the big take…

The ILGOP took a swipe at our Boot Camp the other day… It’s true. They sent out a fundraising email and attempted to raise money off the fact that we trained over 150 candidates, operatives, and party leaders at our 10th Annual Boot Camp claiming, weirdly, that we were “lying about the facts”. We kn…
