Senate Bill 600 would give every Republican the right to directly elect the members of the Illinois Republican Party's senior governing board (officially called the State Central Committee).

 

Illinois Republicans had this right for 70 years - but it was stolen away by a handful of selfish party bosses two decades ago. The Illinois Democrats kept the right to directly elect their party leaders.

 

Senate Bill 600 not only restores real democracy to our State Party - it doubles the size of the State Central Committee from 19 to 38. In other words, it doubles the chances for getting some real leaders for a change. This is just one of the major advances contained in Senate Bill 600.

 

Every four years in the Primary, you would be able to cast a vote for a State Central Committeeman and a State Central Committeewoman from your U.S. Congressional District to represent you at the State Party. For the first time in 20 years, your State Party leaders would be accountable to you - not the bosses.
