Press Release:  DPI Statement on ILGOP Election

Springfield, IL — The Democratic Party of Illinois shared the following after Kathy Salvi failed to secure re-election as Illinois Republican Party Chair and Bob Grogan has now assumed the role:

“Don Tracy and Kathy Salvi drove the ILGOP to the brink of irrelevance. We expect Bob Grogan, a Republican who has not spoken out against his Party’s abuses—revoking health care access, taxing Illinoisans through tariffs, inhumane immigration enforcement actions and more—to finish the job. With midterms less than six months away, the ILGOP lacking a full slate of statewide candidates and a GOP extremist running for governor, we doubt their Party will suddenly excel at fundraising and organizing either.”

Bob Grogan, someone who is expected to unify the ILGOP but has poor political instincts, has become Chair as the Illinois Republican Party has disengaged their voter base including in Grogan’s stomping grounds of DuPage County.
