New ILGOP Chairman Don Tracy called for the party’s unity, underscoring that “there’s too much at stake in 2022 to be anything less than a united band of brothers and sisters in the fight to save Illinois.”

Tracy announced that he will be sending a few talking points each week through “The Chairman’s Memo,” and has further mentioned that he has made some in his recently published Op-Ed in the Daily Herald entitled “Unite the Republican Party, Save Illinois.”

“I believe the ILGOP can be a tremendous catalyst for change in this state,” Tracy wrote in his memo. “The only way we can capitalize on these opportunities in 2022 is if we unite the party.”

In his Op-Ed, he emphasized the consequences of a divided caucus and how the split can affect Illinoisans.

“A fractured Illinois Republican Party focused on continuing past disputes means JB Pritzker wins a second term,” Tracy said. “A circular firing squad among Republicans means the Madigan Machine continues to stay in power. Most importantly, if we falter under the weight of internal division, working families throughout Illinois will continue to suffer under Democrat rule.”

Tracy also presented the benefit of working together, of Republicans standing up for Illinoisans – as one.

“A united Illinois Republican Party can lead with a message of reform on the issues most people care about.”

Tracy called on the Illinois Republicans to “work together, align our efforts, and get focused on the right stuff.”  

“Saving Illinois in 2022 requires it,” Tracy concluded.
