On Friday, a nationally-respected grassroots organization will be meeting with conservative patriots to discuss a formal plan of action to help turn Illinois red.
Jim Pfaff, president of The Conservative Caucus – the oldest national grassroots organization in the United States with over 100,000 members, will facilitate the strategy session. Pfaff’s political career spans over three decades and includes having served as Chief of Staff for two different congressmen – U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-KY and U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-KS. He also served as president of the Colorado Family Institute, and he was a representative for Family Policy Councils at Focus on the Family.Pfaff is also widely respected around the country for his grassroots expertise and he has a long history of winning campaigns at every level.
In the last seven months, TCC has hosted Roger Stone and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and they remain at the forefront supporting President Trump’s cabinet nominees, including Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Illinois grassroots have become a dominant force over the last few years, and the movement continues to gain momentum despite opposition from some leaders at the state party level. During the 2022 Republican primary for governor, the grassroots-backed candidate defeated the state party’s preferred candidate by 43 points.
Illinois conservative Republicans struggle with fundraising and a lack of leadership and support from state party leaders. To date, the IL GOP has failed to put a plan in place to help turn Illinois red – and during the Republican presidential primary – the state party refused to back President Donald Trump despite leading in the polls by some of the widest margins seen in history. The IL GOP also hosted fundraisers featuring Never Trumpers and they remained silent when state GOP leaders were exposed for supporting the expansion of transgender rights.
Friday’s gathering is expected to lay the groundwork for a formal plan to help turn the state red. The event starts at 7:00 pm. To register, please visit the following link.
