— Suburban Democrats urge Johnson to not forget his suburban roots. I have not forgotten my south suburban roots. I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and in University Park 1972-1976. I attended Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961; Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962; and Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966. I worked in Chicago Heights 1964-1966 and 1970-1972; Flossmoor in 1966; Park Forest 1966-1969; Harvey 1972-1973; and Joliet 1973-1974. My father lived in Crete 1922-1969 and worked in Chicago Heights 1941-1969. My mother lived in Crete 1945-2016. My brother lived in Crete 1953-2022. My south suburban roots enabled me to buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1971; earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970; buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974; buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976; and earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976.

I would focus on my disgusting critics/opponents who had their disgusting operatives and their disgusting dupes end my chairmanship and destroy TAPROOT. I would focus on the aforesaid who continue to do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters.

Democrats ever-increasingly succeed in painting Jesus as being a liberal Democrat who despises/hates/condemns heterosexuals, conservatives, Republicans, Whites, males, older people, non-poor people, married people, gun owners, Protestants, German Americans, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— GOP INFIGHTING: Attendees of the Illinois Republican Party took a vote Saturday on whether they had confidence in GOP Leader Don Tracy. It happened at a regular meeting of the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee in Edwardsville. At Issue: Republican state Sen. Jason Plummer, who represents the 55th District, and a few others called for new leadership. There are concerns about where the party is headed, that the party isn’t raising more money and that the Illinois GOP isn’t doing more to expand its reach. Tracy ultimately received a majority of support, according to two people in the room. But divisions within the party remain. And the debate about Tracy’s future is expected to come up again. If you are Don Tracy, Playbook would like to know what your plans are to invigorate the Illinois GOP. Email skapos@politico.com.
