POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Board Commissioner Pete DiCianni is officially throwing his hat in the ring for the board chairman position that opened up when Dan Cronin announced he wouldn’t seek re-election. DiCianni is a Republican who has served on the DuPage County Board for nearly a decade. His announcement today at the Itasca Country Club will likely focus on his work championing economic development while mayor and supporting the building of Elmhurst Memorial Hospital. DiCianni recently made headlines when he stepped down as chairman of the DuPage board’s Health and Human Services Committee after attending a rally without wearing a mask, shouting at a protester, and cursing on social media. He apologized, admitting it wasn’t his finest moment.- Shia Kapos

— Tricky mailer from Democrats flaunts Trump’s endorsement of Youngkin – Emily Brooks
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents urge Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to not seek my support and to reject my support. According to my critics/opponents, a) I am far too conservative and b) the more that I support a candidate, the more likely that they will lose. My critics/opponents stress the many adverse actions that the following have taken against me: a) leaders of conservative and Republican organizations, b) leaders of governments, and c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. My critics/opponents stress that the aforesaid sided with those who stopped Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks.)
