Illinois Republican Party Chair-Elect Kathy Salvi spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, comparing the party to her seven children. Salvi takes over the position from outgoing chair Don Tracy, who resigned due to party infighting. Salvi emphasized the need for unity within the party to defeat incumbent Democrats in the upcoming elections. House Republican Leader Tony McCombie also stressed the importance of focusing on Democratic policies that are harming Illinois, despite facing challenges such as partisan gerrymandering. The party’s National Committeeman, Richard Porter, called out bad behavior within the party, confronting U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz in a viral moment at the convention. Despite the internal divisions, Salvi expressed optimism about winning elections by bridging differences and appealing to an angry electorate with messages of hope. The Illinois Republican Party is preparing for the upcoming elections with a renewed focus on unity and collaboration within the party.
