Join my office, alongside the Lee County Health Department, Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Dixon Police Department, and Dixon Township, for a joint Sharps and Rx Drop-Off Drive! The drive will take place on Thursday, May 14th, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Dixon Township Building, located at 315 Highland Avenue in Dixon.

All local residents are invited to safely dispose of their residential sharps and unused, expired, or unneeded prescription medications. This is an easy and convenient event – providing two services in one location. I look forward to working alongside our partners to make our homes and community safer!

A good explanation of how The Party works here in Illinois.

Recently, many people have asked me "what the heck is an SCC?" I thought I'd post some information to clarify the ILGOP structure.

The Illinois Republican Party has a fairly structured, top-down leadership system—but it’s built on local participation at the base. Here’s a clear breakdown of how it works:

🏛️ Top Level: State Party Leadership

State Party Chair
* Leads the ILGOP day-to-day
* Acts as the public face of the party
* Hires staff, coordinates statewide campaigns, and fundraising

State Central Committee (SCC):
* Made up of one State Central Committeeman and Deputy (opposite sexes) from each of Illinois’ 17 congressional districts (34 total members).
* Elected at the County Convention 29 days after the Primary. The Deputy is appointed later.
* The SCC:
* Sets party direction and strategy
* Oversees operations and finances
* Elects the State Party Chair
* These are your direct link between:
* grassroots voters
* county organizations
* and the state party

🏡 County Level

Each county has its own Republican organization:

* Led by a County Chairman
* Governed by a County Central Committee

Who makes up the County Central Committee?

➡️ Precinct Committeepersons (PCs)

* These are elected (or sometimes appointed) at the precinct level (elected in the primary)
* They vote on:
* County leadership
* Local endorsements
* Filling vacancies for certain offices

🗳️ Precinct Level (The Grassroots)

This is the foundation of everything:

* Precinct Committeepersons
* Represent voters in a small geographic area
* Recruit candidates and volunteers
* Get out the vote (GOTV)
* Communicate voter concerns upward

👉 If the grassroots are active, the whole party is stronger. If not, everything above gets disconnected.

🔄 How It All Connects

Think of it like a chain:

Voters → Precinct Committeepersons → County Party → State Central Committee → State Party Leadership

Ideally:
* Information flows UP (grassroots concerns)
* Support/resources flow DOWN (strategy, funding, messaging)
