Our Illinois county has a long heritage of Republican leaders on the local, Illinois and federal levels of government who have been committed to accountable, limited, and loyally constitutional government.

2024 Lincoln Day Dinner

The night was amazing and historic.  Tazewell County Republicans and Peoria County Republicans jointly held our 2024 Lincoln Day Dinner.  The Keynote speaker was U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson who delivered a message about the challenges we face today, the importance of God in our country and what it means to be a Conservative in America.  Also featured was Congressman Darin LaHood who gave a legislative update and who rallied everyone. The welcome address by Chairman Jim Rule included a challenge to all to engage and get involved in this important battle to save American and the state of Illinois. The energy in the room at the event was electric and attendees are ready to WIN in November, 2024!
