Chairman's Message

 It has been only weeks since our Illinois Republican Convention, and my election as Illinois's new National Committeewoman.  The election was a very competitive one, with all three candidates working extraordinarily hard to spread our message and win support.

I am honored to be your next National Committeewoman.  I pledge to work tirelessly, to produce positive results for our party.

As I begin my duties, I believe my first task is to listen to you as you communicate your needs, concerns, and goals for our party. I consider what I hear to be more significant that what I say.  This great party's foundation lies in its grassroots, and what I learn from you can help guide us to future victories.

I will work with you to recruit, support, and elect the kind of honest Republicans we need to steer this great party back to a position of leadership in Illinois.  We will do this as partners in tried and true grassroots politics.

I know grassroots politics works, because I have seen it work in Tazewell County, where I have proudly served as County Chairman since 2004.  Now, as National Committeewoman, I want to utilize the experience and knowledge I gained as a county chairman, to bring Tazewell County results to the state level.

First and foremost, I want to work with you to ensure that every Republican wins their election this year.  Without doubt, this may be the most challenging political environment Republicans have faced in over 20 years.  I will work to muster every last resource available to help you and your colleagues win their elections.

Then, we need to add to the ranks of Republicans. I will work hard to identify national party resources, and get those resources directly to our county organizations and stat and local campaigns to assist Republican candidates register voters and get out the vote.  Together, we will do the work needed to return Illinois to the Republican red column.

I know there is room for integrity and effectiveness in Illinois politics. Like you I believe in the Republican Party.

There are naysayers that say the supposed Barack Obama tide wave will engulf Illinois and the country.  I am not one of them.  I am not afraid of the future, and I am more than ready for battle.  I know you are, too.

Now, together - let's take the fight to the Democrats!
