GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— According to a 9:37 AM Saturday, October 28, 217 bulk email from Martin Keller, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee Chairman, “Jeanne is running!! In the next day or so she will be sending out her petitions to be on the ballot in the March 2018 Republican Primary. As soon as more information is available we will get it to you. Start thinking about friends and family around the state who can help her get the required number of signatures.” According to an extremely reliable source, former state representative Rich Morthland is her running mate. At the October 11, 2017 Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) meeting, Ives said MTRCC members would be the first to know if she decides to run for Governor. – Dave Diersen

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— RAUNER’S CAMPAIGN WAR CHEST DOUBLES SIZE OF DEMOCRAT HOPEFULS’
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/10/rauners-campaign-war-chest-doubles-size-of-democrat-hopefuls.htm
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Campaign for Political Reform shows Republican Bruce Rauner has raised campaign funds at more than twice the amount of his most well-funded Democrat hopeful J.B. Pritzker has raised. But even more stunning is that Rauner shows $65 million on hand while Pritzker shows only $7 million on hand. Will those numbers intimidate anyone from the conservative majority of the IL GOP from giving a serious challenge to the incumbent governor? Time is running out to circulate petitions.)
DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF DUPAGE COUNTY
— Become an Elected Official at the Most Important Level (DIERSEN: How much credibility do you have? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, Precinct Committeemen like me have no credibility. According to them, the higher position that you hold in the party, the more credibility that you have. They stress that even though I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, I am a) NOT a member of any Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) committee, b) NOT the chairman of any MTRCC committee, c) NOT a MTRCC officer, d) NOT a member of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) Executive Committee, e) NOT a DCRCC officer, f) NOT a member of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee, g) NOT an IRP officer, and h) NOT the IRP National Committeeman. They stress that MTRCC rudely dumped me as its webmaster in 2010 and 2004 and that when I ran for Treasurer in 2004, I got only 13 votes. Those who dominate MTRCC focus on demonizing, denigrating, and condemning me, my credibility, and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. They further stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, GAO employee, etc.)
http://www.dupagedemocrats.com/cms2/become-an-elected-official-at-the-most-important-level/
(FROM THE POSTING: For many, the first elected position they hold is that of Precinct Committeeman, PC for short. PC’s are elected officials and are vital to their fellow candidates running for Public Office. Elected PC’s serve a two year term and make up the Central Committee of the County Party and vote on all major decisions. The DuPage Elections Committee describes the role of PC as follows: The grass roots and foundation of the political parties are its precinct committeemen. They serve as the foot soldiers to the most fundamental political unit of government, the precinct. The precinct committeeman helps shape party policy and participates in the selection process of candidates. A precinct committeeman is elected to a two-year term in the even-year primary elections. In our PC orientation, we cover exactly how you can *Represent the party’s voters at the county central committee convention to elect the county central chairman and its officers. The precinct committeeman casts a total number of party votes, (weighted vote), as cast in the precinct at the recent primary election *Become a voter registrar and register all qualified constituents *Appoint and fill vacancies of election judges for the precinct polling place *Provide candidate and election information to the voters *Circulate petitions for candidates prior to the primary election *Become familiar with the elected officials and legislatures so the concerns of the voters can be passed on to them. *Attend and become involved in the party’s Township meetings in one of the nine townships in which you live)
