GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Zay reelected DuPage GOP Chairman, Wilkens elected Secretary. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. I hope that the DuPage GOP will encourage Republican candidates and elected officials a) to promote the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, illegal drugs, immigration, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform and b) to stress the terrible problems caused by Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, illegal immigration, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. At the DuPage County Republican Central Committee 2024 Biennial County Convention in Wheaton Wednesday evening, April 17, 2024, Jim Zay was reelected Chairman and Deanna Wilkens was elected Secretary. Attendees included Kory Atkinson, PJ Augustynowicz, Bob Berlin, Greg Boltz, Larrisa Calvanese, Lori Carlson, Annette Corrigan, Kirk Dillard, Grant Eckhoff, Mike Flynn, Bob Grogan, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Bill Hogan, Jeanne Ives, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Bob Larsen, Robert Margetts, James Mendrick, Gary Muehlfelt, Al Murphy, Mike Mussen, Nicole Prater, Kenton Skarin, and Jim Zay. Speakers included Grogan, Hinds, Jorgensen, and Zay- Dave Diersen

NEBRASKA PUBLIC MEDIA
— Meet the Republican Candidates for State Auditor and Treasurer – Melissa Rosales (COMMENT: I have always advocated that political organizations should use budgeting for panning purposes. Because of my qualifications to serve as auditor and treasurer, my critics/opponents have always focused on turning against me those who share my qualifications. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a Licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Service Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. I have master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I have served as the treasurer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition and Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. I should write about those who have worked the hardest against me. I could focus on those who worked against me the hardest when I unsuccessfully ran for the Milton Township Republican Organization Treasurer position in 2004.)

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
— Why negative campaigning works — and how to fight it – Robyn Schelenz (COMMENT: Should I write a book about those who have worked the hardest against me? I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021.)
