Thank you voters for focusing on
the issue
As I reflect on the February primary, I am grateful for the efforts STRO volunteers made to educate and motivate local Republicans and for all the voters who took the time to cast their ballots.
Without a doubt, the primary was a resounding success in that voters selected qualified and ethical candidates who will give our party a great chance this November to bring sanity to the chaos Illinois’ Democrats have caused.
I am so proud of our local Republican Organization. In the primary election, we covered virtually every precinct with literature. In nearly two-thirds of the 93 precincts, we had captains knocking on doors. For the first time, we organized a phone bank and personally called nearly 3,500 good Republican voters who were pleased to hear from a local volunteer from our organization instead of the hundreds of “ROBO” calls that they received during the days leading up to the election.
Our mailings were all positive in nature, addressing only issues that voters were concerned about… primarily jobs, taxes and spending. Our sign blitz covered the township with our organization’s choice of endorsed candidates who we felt were the best candidates for fellow Republicans to support. I want to think each and every volunteer for their total commitment to bringing a calm and consistent message to our voters.
The proof of our issues-oriented campaign was vindicated as our endorsed candidate for the 56th Legislative District, Ryan Higgins, won in an overwhelming landslide. While getting hit with a barrage of sleazy material and misinformation at the end of the campaign, Ryan stayed positive, continuing to only talk about the issues. Those issues were jobs, taxes and spending; issues that had been raised in talking with voters he contacted going door-to-door during countless hours of walking the precincts in Schaumburg Township and the rest of the 56th district for more than seven months.
We are fortunate to have such ethical candidates as Ryan Higgins represent our township. I am very hopeful that all the voters in the general election will respond to Ryan as the overwhelming majority of Republican voters did on February 2. With your help, I believe they will.
I also want to thank my fellow Republicans for their vote of confidence to the office of Committeeman which allows me to continue leading our party for the next four years. No one person can do it all, so I invite you to get involved. Our goal is to help ensure the new course set for our township, state and nation by electing good Republican candidates in the general election on November 2, 2010.
Sincerely,
Michael Adelizzi
Republican Committeeman
