Dear Friends,

Early voting will be well underway and I encourage every Republican to start preparing a clear plan to vote now.

Early voting gives you flexibility, convenience, and certainty that your voice will be heard in this critical election.

To get started, visit vote.illinois.gop for everything you need to plan your vote, find early voting information, and take the next step in participating in our Republican primary.

I encourage you to take the pledge to vote early or vote by mail — and then ask your friends, family, and fellow Republicans to do the same. When we commit early, we build momentum, strengthen our grassroots efforts, and ensure Republicans turn out strong across Illinois.

Illinois is at a crossroads. The decisions we make in this primary will shape the future of our state, our communities, and our country. Your participation matters — and it starts with a plan to vote.

Don’t wait. Make your plan today, encourage others to join you, and help us move Illinois in the right direction.

At the Illinois Republican Party, we talk a lot about family values — because we live them. Families are where our values are first taught, where responsibility is learned, and where faith, hard work, and love are passed down from one generation to the next.

That’s why moments like these matter. Recently, our family welcomed a new grandchild. These are joyful reminders of what we’re fighting for every day: strong families, safe communities, and a future where the next generation of Illinoisans can thrive.

Family values aren’t political talking points — they’re personal. And they remain at the heart of everything we do.

On Saturday, January 31, we held our State Central Committee quarterly meeting in Cook County. A sincere thank-you to the Palatine Township Republicans for graciously hosting us.

Following the county conventions, we will have new SCC members so I would like to recognize and thank our term-limited members for their outstanding leadership and service: Judy Diekelman, Jay Reyes, Sean Morrison, Mark Hosty, Mark Shaw, and Jan Weber. We are deeply grateful for the many—truly too many to count—sacrifices you and your families have made in service to our party and to the State of Illinois.

For those interested in learning more about joining the State Central Committee, please find important information below regarding the upcoming Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee election. This includes the application timeline and details, pursuant to our bylaws and as set by the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee Application Committee.
