Illinois Republicans have had a special calling since our birth as a political party. Following in the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Everett Dirksen and Henry Hyde, these are the beliefs that unite us:
Advancing our founding father’s principles of freedom, opportunity, and limited government;
Caring for the dignity and value of every individual;
Providing strong leaders who serve both State and Country with honor and distinction.
These principles form the foundation of both an agenda for America and the platform for our party. They point us toward reform of government, upholding timeless values, and a renewal of our national purpose.
We commit ourselves to the values that strengthen our culture and sustain our nation: faith, family, personal responsibility, and the dignity of every human life. We believe in a welcoming society in which all who yearn for individual freedom have a place. We are the party of freedom and advancement for all.
Our party welcomes individuals who share our common beliefs while having deeply held, yet differing views. Diversity brings strength. We commit to resolve our differences with civility, trust, and mutual respect.
We celebrate our party’s best traditions; the end of slavery, homestead grants, land grant colleges, civil rights and protecting life. We believe in service to the common good – and that good is not common unless shared.

SAVANNA, IL
As the West Carroll High School Counselor, I am often the frontrunner for volunteer opportunities within the communities of Savanna, Mt. Carroll, Thomson, and surrounding areas. I would like to be able to expand our volunteer opportunities to reach more students outside of National Honors Society and Servant Leadership- and I believe partnering with the impact program would give us access to more volunteers.

Woodland Shores HOA is a small Community Association that puts on a few Community Events each year.
Woodland Shores coordinates an annual Road Cleanup Event usually near the end of April to keep our roadsides looking tidy and remove debris for mowing services. This is our own take on Adopt-A-Highway running county roads near Dixon and Nelson Township. This is a great opportunity to help out in the community as well as help out the environment.
