“Dear John,” the letter from the Illinois Republican Party begins. It’s a letter sent out by the Illinois Republican Party State Chairman Don Tracy. Yeah, that Don Tracy.
“I am proud to present your Illinois Republican Party Sustaining Membership Card for the 2024 Election Year. Embossed with your name and featuring an image of Abraham Lincoln and our new logo, your card says a lot about you… It’s a testament to your investments in our Party and our candidates as we battle powerful special interests to stop their Chicago-style corruption and woke agenda…”
Under Don Tracy’s leadership we’re going to do all that? I notice that he didn’t mention digging his party out of the super-minority status in the Illinois House and Senate. Probably for good reason.
Probably because Mr. State Chairman Don Tracy doesn’t have a plan.
He’s at best a placeholder in a leadership position, not a leader. And for quite a while he’s looked inept on good days and incompetent on most other days.
How incompetent is Don Tracy’s leadership?
Don Tracy can’t even administer a fundraising mailing, much less lead Republicans out of the super-minority position on his watch.
Here’s “my” sustaining membership card. With Tim Harris’ name embossed upon it.
Hey Tim, I got your card buddy!
Don Tracy’s been one disaster after another. He backed that dipstick mayor in his run for governor last election cycle. Tracy’s alienated grassroots volunteers. Even worse, he’s knocked out lots of true conservatives candidates from races, leaving us with nitwits like Scott Preston who support “common sense gun control.”
In fact, if you were Democrats, you couldn’t ask for (or appoint) a less effective “leader” of the Illinois Republican Party than Don Tracy.
Well, maybe. They’d probably ask for Adam Kinzinger. Or Mr. Jim Durkin.
The Illinois Republican Party doesn’t need a new logo. It needs new leadership and a new vision.
