Republicans Come Out In Shorewood Parade
By: Alex Anderson It was a solid show of support yesterday Sunday, August 5th, 2018 at the Shorewood parade. Republican candidates and supporters alike took to the streets at around 12:15pm. For the first time all year, there were 4 statewide candidates and a lot of well know republican elected officials walking as a team. Republican candidate for Attorney General Erika Harold, Candidate Jim Dodge for State Treasurer, Darlene Sanger for Comptroller, and Jason Helland for Secretary of the state were all out and talking to voters.
With November right around the corner, it's only fitting that you see these guys working harder and harder! For the first time ever in Illinois, the governor's race has topped a quarter billion in spending and every day we are seeing more and more coming out. Now more than ever these candidates need to build name ID and resonate with voters if they hope to win in the November Elections.
Also in attendance was State Representative Mark Batnick, Judge Ben Braun, Candidate Alyssia Benford for State Representative, Judge Victoria Kennison, Candidate for County Clerk Laurie McPhillips and The Will County Young Republicans had a team of newly elected members out including Christian Carry Secretary, Matt Wiley Tressure and Brandon Harris Director of Communications. The Will County Young Republicans have made an effort to rebuild the team in 2018 helping reunify the Republican party in Will County as a whole!
