Tryon Clarifies Party Policy on Contested Primary Elections

An email from McHenry County Republican Party Chairman Mike Tryon:

Mike Tryon

Recent events have led to some confusion over what is deemed appropriate usage of the Republican Party Headquarters in Crystal Lake.Our role as a Party is to support Republican candidates.

During the General Election cycle this work is simplified by the fact that there is generally one Republican facing one Democrat.

During Primary Election season, our role is to provide assistance to all Republicans who are facing primary challengers.

While individual people support individual candidates, as a Party, we remain neutral.

A good example of how we can remain neutral while providing assistance to Republican candidates can be seen through the recent email to all committeemen with a link to Republican candidate petitions.

This link is also being sent to all our volunteers via the monthly newsletter.

All candidates, including those who are involved in primary races, were invited to supply the GOP with a copy of their petition so that individual supporters could print out copies and help gather signatures.

The Hultgren for Congress committee is having a meet and greet at the GOP headquarters on Friday.

The Walsh for Congress committee knows about the event and has been offered use of the space for a similar function.

While we are pleased to be able to provide free space for candidates’ events, the events should not be viewed as a McHenry County GOP endorsement of any one candidate over another.

Simply put;

our mission is to help expose all our outstanding candidates to the citizens of McHenry County so that they can decide.

Mike Tryon
Chairman
McHenry County GOP

  1. There should be no contest. Both Randy and Joe Walsh have a 100% rating from National Right To Life.

    The Heritage Foundation through the Heritageactionscorecard.com website rates Randy at 74% and Joe Walsh at 94%.

    Joe Walsh has the best rating of the whole Illinois delegation to Washington, D.C.

    If voters want freedom, opportunity, prosperity and a civil society, Joe Walsh votes over 25% more frequently for them than Randy. Randy votes the wrong way too often.

    Obama is not the only reason that our country has got to this sorry state. Republicans who vote to “get along” have contributed.
    Joe Walsh is the clear person to elect to do the job people send the representative to Washington to do.
