POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Richard Porter, the outgoing national committeeman for the Illinois Republican Party, sent a note to GOP colleagues thanking them for their support over the past 10 years and announcing he won’t be running for party chair, a position that opened up recently. The reason: He’s been diagnosed “with a curable form of throat cancer” that will keep him off the radar for a while as he undergoes treatment. He’s talked to applicants: Porter says he’s spoken to three folks thinking of running. “Each of them have different strengths — I am confident any of them would do an excellent job..” Here’s his full letter.
