In 2022, We Have The Strongest Slate Of Republican Candidates Ever In St. Clair County!
This year, the Republican Party has the strongest slate of candidates for County office in Party history! We have outstanding candidates for 25 of the 28 County Districts and almost all of the countywide positions, save Assessor and Superintendent of Schools. This is our year to ensure that our core values of Freedom, Equality, Opportunity, Limited Government, Low Taxes, Strong National Security, and The Right To Life are instilled in St. Clair County government.
To become the majority in the County Board, we need to win 15 seats. We have the candidates to make this happen!
Let’s aggressively support our candidates, both politically and financially, and get out and VOTE in the General Election!

Make Sure Your Children’s/Grandchildren’s School Boards Are Opting Out Of National Sex Education Standards
In 2021, IL Democrats passed IL SB0818, the Keeping Youth Safe And Healthy Act, which JB Pritzker then signed into law. As with most Democrat misinformation, the reality of this law couldn’t be any further from its title. SB0818 enshrined age-inappropriate progressive National Sex Education Standards into recommendations for IL school districts.
These standards say that kindergartners should be able to define gender identity; 3rd-5th graders should be able to define and explain differences between cisgender, transgender, gender nonbinary, gender expansive, and gender identity; and 6th-8th graders should be able to define sexual identity and explain a range of identities related to sexual orientation (e.g., heterosexual, bisexual, lesbian, gay, queer, two-spirit, asexual, pansexual).
Because IL Democrat leadership knew IL parents overwhelmingly rejected these standards and would revolt if they were forced on their children, they included an opt-out capability for school districts and parents. The great news for IL children is that the vast majority of school districts appear to be opting out of the standards.
Below is the current status on St. Clair County schools’ decisions as to whether they’re going to opt out of the standards. At this point, East St. Louis School District 189 and Freeburg Consolidated High School District 77 are the two St. Clair County Districts which have opted into the standards and need parental/grandparental engagement immediately.
This issue simply reinforces the importance of your children’s/grandchildren’s school boards to what is being exposed to them. Ensure you know who is on your school board and how they vote.

April 2023 Consolidated Election – Mayoral Races, School Boards, and Library Boards
As we continue to work with our candidates leading up to the General Election in November, we’re also looking ahead to the Consolidated Election in April 2023. There will be some mayoral races, but there will be many school and library board elections.
Given our members’ concerns over the attempted indoctrination of their children and grandchildren with age-inappropriate material in schools and libraries, we want to ensure that we’re prepared to influence the outcomes of those elections. Interested parents or grandparents who would like to protect our next generation need to be involved. That election cycle will begin in earnest August-Sept with candidate petitions.
We’ve already started identifying the open seats in each of the County’s school and library boards. As soon as we’ve collected them, we’ll share them with you so you can determine if you’re interested in running for one of these important positions.
