GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— All politics is local. It should be extremely important to you who represents
you in your municipality’s government. Residents of Wheaton’s West District
have been represented in Wheaton’s government by Todd Scalzo for the last 10
years, but Scalzo has resigned.
It would be great if the Milton Township Republican Central
Committee (MTRCC) would host a candidate forum for the seven Republican
candidates who are seeking appointment to fill Wheaton’s West District City
Council vacancy.
Those seven candidates are Edward Ahern, Jeffery Antonelli, Angela
Blatner, Dave Diersen, Nancy Harding, Mark Kmiecik, and Robert McNeily.
Hopefully, all of the aforesaid seven candidates will a) attend
MTRCC’s 7:00 PM Wednesday August 14, 2019 meeting at the Holiday Inn in Carol
Stream, b) announce their candidacies, c) and seek the support of the eighteen
Republican Precinct Committeemen who represent Wheaton’s West District.
Those eighteen Precinct Committeemen are Joseph Caruso, Dave
Diersen, Thomas Elsner, Arthur Grant, Ralph Hinkle, Marty Keller, John
Kocinski, Robert Krzyzewski, Michael Hinsdale, Jae Kwon, Robert Larsen, Connor
McCarthy, Robert McNeily, Ronald Menna, Elizabeth Tatro, James Ryan, Mark
Thomas, and Herbert Wehling.
Hopefully, MTRCC will gather relevant information about the
aforesaid seven candidates and provide that information to the aforesaid
eighteen Precinct Committeemen.
The goal of the candidate forum and providing information on the
candidates is to help the aforesaid eighteen Precinct Committeemen recommend to
Wheaton’s City Council the best possible candidate to be appointed to fill the
Wheaton West District City Council vacancy.
Many Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders
routinely attend MTRCC meetings. I hope that the following will attend MTRCC’s
August 14 meeting and a candidate forum if one is held: a) 6th Congressional
District candidates Jeanne Ives and Evelyn Sanguinetti; b) DuPage County
Recorder candidates Ron Almiron and Babette Holder; c) Wheaton’s mayor and City
Council members; d) Illinois officials including Amy Grant; e) DuPage County
officials including Robert Berlin, Fred Bucholz, Daniel Cronin, Pete DiCianni,
Grant Eckhoff, Timothy Elliott, Robert Grogan, Gwen Henry, Richard Jorgensen,
Christopher Kachiroubas, Robert Larsen, Paula McGowen, James Mendrick, Al
Murphy, Sean Noonan, Jeffrey Redick, Darlene Ruscitti, Timothy Whelan, and Jim
Zay; f) Milton Township officials including Sal Falbo, Chris Heidorn, Gail
Hinkle, Marty Keller, Chris LeVan, Gary Muehlfelt, David Molitor, John Monino,
and Yada Nathwani; g) Wheaton Park District officials including Michael Benard;
h) School District 200 officials; and i) College of DuPage officials including
Annette Corrigan, Christine Fenne, Heidi Holan, and Frank Napolitano.
It will be extremely interesting to see which of the seven
candidates are endorsed by which of the aforesaid candidates, elected
officials, and party leaders, and especially which candidates Ives and
Sanguinetti might endorse because they have served on Wheaton’s City Council. –

Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) straw polls at its
Oktoberfest fundraisers had a big impact and raised lots of money for MTRCC. I

Ives v. Sanguinetti and Almiron v. Holder.)
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/democrats-2020-iowa-state-fair-food-fried-mary-anne-marsh
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Beyond the fried food on a stick and the iconic Butter Cow, another big
attraction at the Iowa State Fair is the unscientific straw poll open to all
attending the fair. In 2015, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump ran away with the
poll. Hillary Clinton won the Iowa caucus and Trump came in a very close second
behind Ted Cruz. Trump and Clinton eventually faced one another in the general
election. This week’s straw poll is a reminder that the 2020 campaign is much
further along than most people, and even many candidates, realize. The fact is
elections — and the nomination process — are won in June, July and August.
With only 182 days until the Iowa caucuses, Warren and Harris are on the rise,
Biden and Sanders are fading, and the rest of the field is fried on a stick.)

Synod Lutheran), heterosexual, male, married, non-poor, and over 42 years old
like me. Unlike me, you are more likely to be Democrat the more educated that
you are. I have a bachelor’s degree (1970), three master’s degrees (1976, 1980,
and 1997), six professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and
1997), and a professional license (1981). But all of the aforesaid are in
management, accounting, or finance. Unlike me, you are more likely be
Republican if you attend church services. I should write a book about
churchgoers in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County,
and in Illinois who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me because I am not
a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money
to a church like they do.)

https://nypost.com/2019/08/11/were-all-in-the-closet-trumps-hamptons-supporters-go-underground/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While
Trump attended two big-money fundraisers for the Republican Party and his 2020
re-election campaign at mansions in Southampton and Bridgehampton on Friday,
many of his East End supporters are eschewing the spotlight — especially after
last week’s calls for boycotts of billionaire Stephen Ross’ gyms because he
hosted the president. “We are all in the closet,” said a boutique owner in
Southampton who fears reprisals from his customers — most of them moneyed
Democrats — if he speaks openly about his allegiance to Trump. “It’s like you
have this disease and people want to run away from you.” A builder based in
Westhampton worried that his customers would boycott his services if he reveals
his support of the president. “People have really strong opinions here and if
you go around wearing a MAGA hat, you really need to fear physical violence,”
he said, adding the anti-Trump aggression comes mostly from summer residents.
Trump won 51.5 percent of the vote among year-round residents of Suffolk County
in the 2016 election, compared to 44.6 percent for Democrat Hillary Clinton. In
2008 and 2012, most of the county voted for Barack Obama. Despite the recent
shift, many of Trump’s core supporters fear speaking out, especially during the
summer months, when beachfront villages from Westhampton to Montauk are filled
with left-leaning visitors from New York City.)
