I would focus on those a) who stopped DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks this year, b) who have been the most successful in defeating Republicans on ballots in my precinct, and c) who destroyed TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition.)
