In the only unanimous vote of the day, 59th District State Representative candidate Dan Sugrue was endorsed by the Wheeling Township Republican Organization on Saturday, during an endorsement session which saw many evenly divided votes in contested primaries and few endorsements.
"I'm very grateful for the vote of confidence given to me by Wheeling Township Republicans", said Sugrue. "I'd like to thank Committeeman Ruth O'Connell and the entire Wheeling Township Republican Organization."
"People are tired of the pay-to-play politics of corrupt machine Democrats that have driven jobs out of the state,” Sugrue added. “To win in November, Republicans need to present voters with a vision for a smaller, less intrusive government that brings jobs to Illinois and accountability to state government."
Besides Sugrue's endorsement, voted on by the precinct captains in his district, very few candidates in other contested primary races reached the threshold of 60% of the vote to be endorsed. No endorsements were made in the race for Governor, Leutenant Governor, U.S. Senate, or U.S. House (10th Dist.). Jim Dodge was endorsed for Comptroller. Gregg Goslin was endorsed for 14th District County Commissioner. Mark Thompson was endorsed for 17th Disrtict County Commissioner. Dan Patlak was endorsed for County Board of Review. And Roger Keats was endorsed for President of the County Board.
