IL GOP Bylaws Ignored to Allow Vince Kolber to Remain a National Committeeman Candidate Despite Failing to Meet Requirements During GOP State Convention ([link removed])

By Illinois Review

On Friday during the Illinois Republican Party State Convention, the Republican National Committeeman nominating committee voted 14-3 to keep Vince Kolber on the ballot despite failing to meet the candidacy requirements as outlined by the IL GOP’s own bylaws.

As part of the nomination process, candidates are required to submit before the convention their certified voting record to show that they voted in the last three Illinois Republican primaries. But Kolber, who is registered to vote as a full time resident in both Illinois and Wisconsin – only submitted information for two Illinois primaries – 2022 and 2024. The omission of where he voted in 2020 would have automatically disqualified him from running for national committeeman per the bylaws, but an exception was made and Kolber remains on the ballot.

In a vote of 14-3, Kolber was able to cheat the rules – proving that if you are a favored candidate of the party establishment – rules can be broken. Kolber faces state central committee members ([link removed]) Dean White and Mark Shaw.

By Dean White

Illinois is more than an ATM for political self-promotion for some, or a place of standing for others. It’s my home.

As an Illinoisian with deep family roots from the 1800’s, my family was in the obscure business of fences. Business was good enough, but I thought it could be something more, so I gathered good people around me to mentor me and I remained close to the customers delivering on the promise of quality and stuck with it. Thus, not so amazing, business grew and grew.

Succeeding in business like in politics requires the steadfastness of the values of hard work, personal responsibility, anchored in the deep belief of American exceptionalism and never forget who got you there. Like business customers, voters are more than our Party Pals, so I know the majority out there want something more than what they have gotten in the past.

The change voters are seeking is a leader, business smart, present, highly visible and principled, while always reaching out to listen, represent, and lift Republicans to be the choice versus the current leadership malaise of accepting the word “minority” as a permanent position.

The Republican Party exists in Illinois to win seats, win the majority, and advance a Republican, good government agenda. Anything short of that is political pandering, noise, and a loser position.

I am dedicated to the notion the voters know. They know it, sense it, feel it and are pummeled every day by the actions of our State Executive, enabled by us taking our eye off the ball hobbled as the minority, giving it all away to whatever mob shows up. This is on us, you and me.

It is time for a change for Illinois as I have gone everywhere I have been asked, and done anything requested, to stoke fires of change for Illinoisians to once again believe in the American Promise: Only in America, you can strive and be the best version of yourself.

The Republican Party is out of excuses, and it is time for change.

I am Dean White and thank you to all Republican Illinoisians who are taking their seat at the tables in all those visible and obscure, elected positions in Illinois to represent all the voters who are more than their pals, they are their community.
