A statement from McHenry County Republican Party Chairman Sandra Salgado:
The seat for our Illinois House, District 63, currently occupied by Jack Franks, will be Republican November 2016.
There are two individuals on the primary ticket, but only one is Republican.
As Chairman of the McHenry County Republican Party, I have reached out to other leaders and elected officials and nobody knows who Jeff Lichte is.
- Mr. Lichte did not reach out to the party regarding this race,
- his petition passers were not from McHenry County,
- he has had no activity with the party,
- in fact, we do not know much about him.
- We don’t know why he is running,
- what he stands for and
- when the last time was that he voted for a Republican candidate.
What we do know is that he had voted in Democratic Primaries, he has supported Jack Franks in the past and he has not reached out the Republican Party at all during this petition season.
The McHenry County Republican Party’s candidate for IL House District 63 is Steve Reick.
He is the only true Republican on the ticket.
Steve is a good conservative Republican who will work very hard to turn this seat.
He has worked with the party, we know his agenda for representing McHenry County in Springfield, and the party recognizes him as the only Republican candidate in this primary.
The MCGOP is behind Steve Reick 100%.
Steve Reick and I talked early in his last campaign, and he was deeply knowledgeable about the state’s budget and pensions, including the misuse of discount rates to hide the true extent of the unfunded pension liability.
He had done his homework.
Since then he has become an expert on property tax reform and knows more than anyone else I know about Massachusetts’ Proposition 2½.
Steve would be an outstanding State Rep. Outstanding!
Now, let us pray he can suddenly become a little more gracious.
We need many volunteers who will not be paid but he needs to show some appreciation.
We need ‘all hands on deck’ to defeat Jack Franks and work to remove Mike Madigan’s stranglehold on the state!
Rauner needs help!
Hopefully some of Rauner’s money will be thrown in the direction of Reick1
Illinois is now no longer the worst State in the Union!
We are second worst!
We are moving in the correct direction with Rauner but we need to speed things up to end the exodus of people with a few dollars and the importation of people who need government welfare to survive!

Go get’em Steve!
Too bad Reick won’t bring up all the social issues which Jacko is dead wrong on and at diametrical variance to the vast majority of McHenry County voters.
Republican’s should stay away from social issues and concentrate on getting the state fiscally responsible for a change.
Tea lost their direction and went into social issues and their popularity has suffered since.
Put your religious bs aside, we need a fiscally responsible gov, and Independents will not vote for over the top religious candidates.
Social programs need $$$$ to function, control them with balanced budgets.
The Republicans have gained majorities in the Federal House and Senate, a dozen governors, and 1000 state legislative seats by focusing on conservative issues, both social and economic.
We will make more progress in 2016, with probably the most dis-likable person in American politics, Hillary, weighing down every Democrat, including Jack.
