Illini Republicans

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Alma is back April 9th, and we could not be more excited to see her in all of her beauty! @Illinois_Alma

Speaker Madigan, if $ 1 million is a "good year" for you, then what in the Sam Hill is a a bad one? #twill

We endorse @KirkDillard for Gov. & @jiltracy for Lt. Gov. Most electable, experienced, & tested/prepared team. #twill

The Illini Republicans endorse @VoteGrogan for Illinois State Treasurer in the March 18th Primary. It's time to elect a CPA. #twill

Also, early voting began today and ends March 15th. Primary is on March 18th! Go out and vote!

Thought all the candidates did well in tonight's debate, but we thought @KirkDillard won. Competence, experience, leadership & electability.

Thanks to @KirkDillard, @RutherfordDan & @Bill_Brady for debating tonight in Champaign. @BruceRauner did not show.

Brady: @BruceRauner loses the support of our party. #twill

#Brady: We need a governor that can lead on bold initiatives. I will balance our budget and eliminate the State Board of Education. #twill

#Rutherford: I have the experience in the state legislature, and I think it is a positive experience to be involved in that respect.

#Dillard: Our state is broke. The Gov's office isn't an entry-level spot. @jiltracy & I have the experience to make this state work again.

Closing thoughts. #twill

Brady: As the Gov., I'll move our state from the defensive to the offensive. #twill

Dillard: I look forward to a time where we do not have to offer incentives to come to what should be the capital of the Midwest. #twill

Rutherford: I am going to look at higher-ed as a business decision, and it is a decision we should invest in. #twill

Dillard: U of I is pricing ourselves out of the market. I very much worry about higher-ed and our longevity with the rise in prices.

Brady: We need to re-prioritize education.

Brady: We have more rail, road, and air than any other state. We must invest in that.

Brady: Marijuana is not the way to go. Not us in this state. #twill
