POLITICO ILLINOIS
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican state Rep. Dan Brady hasn’t entered the race to lead the Secretary of State’s Office — he’s still considering it — but a poll he initiated shows him just five points behind Alexi Giannoulias, a frontrunner in the Democratic race. . .Though Brady edges Giannoulias downstate — 21 percent to 14 percent — both politicians would have some heavy lifting to do in the southern part of Illinois. Poll numbers show two-thirds of downstate respondents had never heard of Giannoulias or Brady. The poll also has numbers on Gov. J.B. Pritzker. It shows 72 percent of respondents in Cook County view him favorably, and 52 percent of those in the collars feel the same. Unsurprising, 38 percent of downstate respondents view the governor favorable — and 51 percent of those respondents see him in an unfavorable light. Pritzker has not yet announced that he’ll seek a second term. – SHIA KAPOS

— GOP 2024 hopefuls face challenge: Not upsetting Trump – MAX GREENWOOD (DIERSEN: Of course, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters did not want me to raise funds from Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks. I should write a book about hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters who cast Republican primary ballots in my precinct, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who are/were Republican Precinct Committeemen, elected officials, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and/or Illinois Republican Party, activists, political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and/or campaign volunteers.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But Trump’s presence hasn’t stopped other Republicans from garnering the interest of party donors and leaders. Several would-be candidates have paraded through Iowa, the first-in-the-nation presidential caucus state, over the past several months for fundraisers and speaking engagements, stirring speculation about their 2024 plans. And a straw poll at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver last month showed DeSantis narrowly edging out Trump for the 2024 presidential nomination, 74.1 percent to 71.4 percent. “Trump is definitely afraid of DeSantis. There’s no question in my mind about that,” Keith Naughton, a veteran Republican strategist, said. “They clearly see him as popular and as a threat to Trump and as someone who could usurp him.” Still, nearly six months after leaving the White House, Trump remains the de facto leader of the Republican Party. A Quinnipiac University poll released in late May found that two-thirds of GOP voters want the former president to run again in 2024, while less than one-third – 30 percent – said he should not.)

June 3 Evening Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— CALL FOR ACTION: Please email the following ASAP and urge them to let DuPage County Republicans help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade: Wheaton Mayor Philip Suess at psuess@wheaton.il.us and Councilman East District Michael Barbier at mbarbier@wheaton.il.us and Councilman North District Scott Brown at sbrown@wheaton.il.us and Councilwoman At-Large Erica Bray-Parker at ebrayparker@wheaton.il.us and Councilwoman At-Large Suzanne Fitch at sfitch@wheaton.il.us  and Councilwoman West District Lynn Robbins at lrobbins@wheaton.il.us and Councilman South District Scott Weller at sweller@wheaton.il.us  and Wheaton Park District President Bob Frey and Vice President John Kelly and Commissioners John Kelly and William Barrett and Kevin Fahey and Terry Mee and Ray Morrill and John Vires at commissioners@wheatonparks.org .
http://www.gopillinois.com

(BACKGROUND: Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades have always been very important. DuPage County has more residents than six states and Wheaton is its County Seat. Bob Dole walked in the parade in 1996. The Obamas walked in the parade in 2004. Many U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, Illinois statewide officials, Illinois Senators, Illinois Representatives, DuPage countywide officials, DuPage County District officials, judges, and justices have walked in the parades.

Since 2005, DuPage Republicans have helped sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades. For many years, DuPage Republicans have been the parade’s top sponsor by contributing $2,500 with $1,200 earmarked for the combined Wheaton North and Wheaton-Warrenville South Bands and $1,000 earmarked for bagpipers. I have had the honor of raising those contributions from Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, and Republican party leaders. In 2007, I raised an additional $2,000 from Republicans for an elephant to walk behind Peter Roskam in the parade. But today, Wheaton Park District Superintendent of Marketing & Special Events Amy Seklecki advised me by phone that for this year’s parade, parade sponsorships will not be allowed. I told her that I would appeal that decision. For many years, Wheaton has given the Wheaton Park District $30,000 a year with $20,000 earmarked for fireworks and $10,000 earmarked for parade entries.

I certainly hope that the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization are encouraging all the candidates who will be on 2022 Republican primary ballots in DuPage County, Milton Township, and especially Wheaton a) to have an entry in Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and b) help sponsor the parade. This is especially true for Republican candidates for U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Illinois statewide offices, Illinois Senator, Illinois Representative, DuPage countywide offices, DuPage district offices, and judicial races.

Republican entries in Wheaton’s outstanding 2019 Independence Day Parade were Bob Berlin, Amy Grant, Chris Kachiroubas, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Ann Celine Walsh, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee. Those who walked with the entries included Almiron, Anderson, Carlson, Caruso, Colgan, Collins, Falbo, Fisher, Furstenau, Ives, Keller, LeVan, Marquardt, Marshall, Monino, Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Ruhl, Ryan, Saake, Shaw, and Whelan. With their $2,500 contribution, “DuPage County Republicans” were again the top sponsor for the parade and fireworks. Contributions were: $500 from Roger Claar; $250 each from Berlin, Sanguinetti, Phil Suess, and Tim Whelan; and $100 each from Michael Barbier, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Grant, Chris Heidorn, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Marty Keller, Bob Larsen, and Walsh. I hand-delivering 500 flyers (printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics) to the residences and businesses on the parade route that included the Republican entries in the parade, the sponsor’s names, and the amounts they contributed.

Information on the parade and fireworks is at https://wheatonparkdistrict.com/events/july4/

Again, please email the aforesaid Wheaton and Wheaton Park District officials ASAP and urge them to let DuPage County Republicans help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade.)
