POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Board Commissioner Pete DiCianni is officially throwing his hat in the ring for the board chairman position that opened up when Dan Cronin announced he wouldn’t seek re-election. DiCianni is a Republican who has served on the DuPage County Board for nearly a decade. His announcement today at the Itasca Country Club will likely focus on his work championing economic development while mayor and supporting the building of Elmhurst Memorial Hospital. DiCianni recently made headlines when he stepped down as chairman of the DuPage board’s Health and Human Services Committee after attending a rally without wearing a mask, shouting at a protester, and cursing on social media. He apologized, admitting it wasn’t his finest moment.- Shia Kapos

Based on their failure/refusal to defend/advance the following planks in the Republican Party platform, expect that a survey of Republican Party leaders and elected officials in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township reject the following planks in the Republican Party platform and reject those like me who support the following planks in the Republican Party platform: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving.)
