Tracy Campaign AM-560 Post-Debate Statement
CHICAGO — Tonight's AM-560 debate underscored a clear reality in this Republican primary: Illinois families deserve a strong, experienced leader ready to take on a Democrat opponent and fight for real change in Washington, and Don Tracy demonstrated why he's the candidate who best provides that.
Don brought his record of experience and proven results to the stage. As former Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party, he’s built coalitions, focused diverse teams on common goals, and fought for working families across our state.
From sky-high costs of living, to unsafe streets, to extreme left policies hurting everyday Illinoisans, the challenges are too great to risk wasting this opportunity. We must nominate a candidate ready for the fight.
Don Tracy is ready to lead that fight.
