— Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne criticizes DuPage GOP, announces run
for county board – Erin Hegarty https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-naperville-council-coyne-dupage-county-board-st-0405-story.html (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne used a Facebook post early Wednesday to
blast the DuPage County Republican Party and announce his bid to run for the
DuPage County Board in District 5. Posting after Tuesday’s election votes had
been counted, Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne wrote the DuPage County
Republican organization did not do enough to get GOP candidates elected and
said his county board candidacy should be seen as an effort to “stand up for
conservative principals.” “I would say I think the Republican party right now
is really struggling locally, and I hope to add a new voice for GOP voters,”
Coyne said in a phone interview Wednesday. “I hope to be able to offer that
voice on the DuPage County Board.” Coyne said he plans to run in the 2020
county election, pursuing the seat currently held by James Healy, a Naperville
resident who has been on the county board since 1996. Seats held by District 5
board members Sadia Covert and Dawn DeSart are not up for election until 2022.
In his post on his Naperville City Councilman Facebook page, Coyne said the
DuPage GOP had “another embarrassing showing” in the most recent election
cycle. “While the DuPage Democrats’ local leadership organize candidate forums,
canvassing drives and social media initiatives throughout DuPage County, our
DuPage GOP does what it usually does … nothing,” Coyne wrote. “Our once great
DuPage GOP organization has become a shell of its former self. “The DuPage GOP
has successfully handed both our County and the City of Naperville over to the
Illinois’ Democratic Party. I am unwilling to let this stand!” Coyne repeated
the criticism Wednesday. “The party around here was in power for a very long
time and I don’t think ever adapted to the way in which politics has changed.
The results for GOP folks have been very damaging.” Coyne said he made the post
on his official Naperville City Council page because he thought it important to
let people who follow local politics know of his plans to run for the county
board. The post had drawn more than 50 comments as of Wednesday morning, many
criticizing Coyne for talking about partisan politics when the council is
elected as a nonpartisan body. “I will present a platform focused on reducing
the size of government, reducing real estate tax levies and protecting LIFE …
both as a supporter of pro-life initiatives and as a supporter of our
constitutional right to bear arms,” Coyne wrote in the Facebook post. “I look
forward to keeping my supporters abreast of my platform and to fighting for
pro-life and small government reforms in DuPage County,” the post said. “We are
better than what we have shown in recent elections. Republican voters in DuPage
County need someone that will stand up for conservative principals! I ask
conservative voters in DuPage County’s District 5 to give me the chance to be
their voice. Much more to come….”)

Naperville City Council member, unhappy with what he called a lack of
aggression from the DuPage County Republican Organization in recent elections,
took to Facebook early Wednesday to slam the party and announce his candidacy
for DuPage County Board. Kevin Coyne, a business attorney who has served on the
council since 2015, posted on his city council Facebook page that he’s tired of
seeing local Democrats lead candidate forums and social media initiatives while
Republicans stand on the sidelines. “Our once great DuPage GOP
organization has become a shell of its former self,” Coyne wrote around 2
a.m. “It does nothing to support local or State R candidates.” Coyne
said he will offer a new voice and perspective to Republican voters next
November when he runs for the DuPage County Board District 5 seat currently
held by attorney James Healy of Naperville. Healy did not return a call seeking
comment Wednesday. Several of Coyne’s followers were quick to criticize him for
discussing partisan politics while he sits on the historically nonpartisan city
council. Others praised him for taking a stand. Reached Wednesday, Coyne
doubled down on his social media comments. “I think the Republican Party
around here was in place and successful for so long that I just don’t think
they ever had to adapt to the new times with social media,” Coyne said.
“I just think the general manner in which they have been running things is
outdated. They’re not aggressive enough. There’s no outreach and there’s very
few social media posts. We need new energy and life in the party.” DuPage
Republican Chairman Brian Krajewski did not return calls Wednesday.)

the election. “I have been on the council for 14 years,” he said.

levy by $151,175 to capture new growth. The city, he said, has maintained
fairly flat tax increases for the average homeowner. Prendiville, an attorney
in municipal and corporate finance, cautions the city has roughly $59.5 million

“Offense taken,” said a black lawmaker during a hot debate over a bill at the

corporations to have blacks and women on their boards of directors. Republicans
say the requirement is another sign to businesses that they should not locate
in Illinois. “If you’re saying that’s stifling business in Illinois, how am I
supposed to take that?” shouted State Rep. Will Davis (D-Homewood), who is
black. State Rep. Steve Reick (R-Woodstock), who is white, had a response for
Davis: “You’re not gonna get anything in this country in the way of being
treated equally if you’re gonna take offense at every damn thing that comes
up.” Some of the white Republicans’ remarks which offended black Democrats
included questions about whether Christian men could be a protected class, too;
and whether a corporate board could include somebody such as Rachel Dolezal, a
white woman who famously faked her way to the presidency of the NAACP. The bill
barely passed. State Rep. Chris Welch (D-Hillside), who is black, said all he
wanted to do was make the world better for his five-year-old daughter. HB 3394
