From The Chairman
Congratulations to all of our St. Clair County Republican Primary winners! We’ve listed all of them in this issue of our newsletter.
2022 is our year in St. Clair County! Voter dissatisfaction with the current state of our country, state, and county is extremely high. Our Republican County candidates are committed to lowering crime, the cost of living, and corruption for the citizens of St. Clair County. To achieve these outcomes, it’s critical that our Republican voters get out and VOTE!
Because of the shortened election cycle in 2022, early voting for the November 8, 2022 General Election is only 80 days away – starting on September 29, 2022! There’s no time to waste to ensure you’re prepared to cast your ballot for our Republican candidates!
In addition to casting your ballot via early voting or via voting at the polls on November 8, 2022, you may also request a mail-in ballot from the County Clerk. Mail-in ballots will be mailed out starting on September 29, 2022 and can be requested at:
Please consider a mail-in ballot if there is any chance that you will be unable to vote early or vote at the polls on November 8, 2022.
Thanks for your support in turning St. Clair County red in 2022!
Cheryl Mathews

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’ll share more information at the July 7th Central Committee meeting, which is open to the public, and as we get closer to collecting candidate petitions.
2022 St. Clair County Republican Party Membership Drive
The results of this year’s midterm elections will determine how broadly our core values will be realized in 2022 and beyond. In order to accelerate our efforts to elect Republicans to office, we’re asking for your continued support during our 2022 Membership Drive. Please join/renew your membership at our Party membership page (https://tinyurl.com/2p8rbm77).
Here’s to the success of our Republican candidates in 2022!
Citadel Is The 3rd Major Company To Leave Illinois In 2 Months
PUBLISHED BY ILLINOIS POLICY
Boeing, Caterpillar and now the $50-billion hedge fund, Citadel, all within two months said they were moving their headquarters out of Illinois.
Citadel CEO Ken Griffin announced to employees June 23 the firm’s headquarters is leaving Chicago for Miami after 30 years. Griffin, Illinois’ wealthiest resident, is picking Florida for its better corporate environment.
Citadel will retain its Chicago office and employees, but many will transition out of Illinois in the next year. Griffin has moved, and said he didn’t make the business decision on his own: His employees asked to work elsewhere.
“Chicago will continue to be important to the future of Citadel, as many of our colleagues have deep ties to Illinois,” Griffin wrote. “Over the past year, however, many of our Chicago teams have asked to relocate to Miami, New York and our other offices around the world.”
While he has multiple issues with how Illinois treats its corporate citizens, he also in April said he was bothered by Chicago’s inability to control crime.
“If people aren’t safe here, they’re not going to live here,” Griffin said. “I’ve had multiple colleagues mugged at gunpoint. I’ve had a colleague stabbed on the way to work. Countless issues of burglary. I mean, that’s a really difficult backdrop with which to draw talent to your city from.”
CNBC ranks Illinois as the third-least friendly state to businesses. The Tax Foundation found Illinois’ business climate declined 10 spots in the past five years – the only state to drop in the Midwest. Gov. J.B. Pritzker added $5.2 billion in new taxes on Illinoisans, specifically targeting businesses with $650 million in new taxes amid a pandemic recovery.
Three Fortune 500 companies leaving the state in two months is a dismal sign for jobs growth. Only lawmakers can make Illinois’ business climate more competitive to attract new residents. Companies follow the talent wherever it goes, and it’s leaving Illinois: a record 114,000 residents lost in 2021 alone.
Jobs and house values – both tied to Illinois’ nation-leading state and local tax burden – are prompting people to leave. Rather than fix those issues, state leaders handed Illinoisans a proposal to give public worker unions the protection of the Illinois Constitution. Amendment 1, masquerading as a “workers rights amendment,” would guarantee a $2,100 property tax hike for the typical Illinois homeowner were voters to approve it Nov. 8.
Higher property taxes for their employees is not what will stop a fourth big business from exiting Illinois.
