“In stark contrast to the Democratic Party of Illinois, the ILGOP is a grassroots led party that functions with transparency and in service to all Republicans fighting to save Illinois. While the most corrupt politician in American, Mike Madigan, continues his white-knuckled control of the Democrat apparatus, Illinois Republicans are proud to have a process for the selection of a new leader open to all freedom loving Illinoisans who believe they can continue growing our party.” – ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider
