In 2021, JB Pritzker signed the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act into law. The law phases out coal and natural gas production by 2030 and 2045, respectively, with a goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050. The law does much more than that, but let’s focus on this goal, which is economically and physically impossible to achieve without significantly reducing the state’s ability to function.

I’m an elected precinct committeeman for McLean County Republicans. I’m also a huge sports fan. Because of these interests, I sometimes use sports analogies to make political points with others.

These individuals should not be confused with election judges or poll watchers, for which there is also a great need to ensure election integrity.

McLean GOP Leaders Attend SURUS Summit

Five leaders from the McLean County Republicans attended a conference sponsored by SURUS Illinois on August 16th. SURUS Illinois is a political operative of entrepreneurs, former candidates, political staffers, and passionate conservatives who envision an Illinois in which a motivated and galvanized citizenry is the most potent political force. Their stated mission is to turn Illinois Red. They believe they can do so by reaching a “victory number” of 562,399 votes. The hope is to develop a healthy political ecosystem that works daily to change the hearts and minds of pursuable voters.
