“I am excited to announce Peoria as host city for the 2020 ILGOP State Convention. Myself, the State Central Committee, and precinct committeeman all across Illinois remember the hospitality Peoria showed us three years ago. We look forward to showcasing this beautiful Illinois River city again as Illinois Republicans gather to organize, network, and nominate our delegates to the 2020 Republican National Convention.”

“It has been a joy to work with stakeholders such as Enjoy Peoria, the Peoria Civic Center,  Peoria Marriott Pere Marquette, and the Peoria Republican Central Committee during the bid submission process. Peoria provides the perfect accommodations for an event this size.
