McHenry County Republican Chairman Sandra Salgado, GOP House Leader Jim Durkin and State Rep. candidate Steve Reick conferred at the Johnsburg Community Club the Sunday before the Primary Election.
Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin came to the Johnsburg Community Club to make a pitch for nominating Steve Reick in the Republican Primary Election on Tuesday.
The audience got a kick out of how Steve Rooney was dressed as he extolled the virtues of State Rep. aspirant Steve Reick.
The event was sponsored by the McHenry Township Republican Central Committee, chaired by Steve Rooney.
Before Durkin spoke, Rooney introduced Reick, who spoke to the early crowd.
Recorder of Deeds candidate Tina Hill and Sue Draffkorn, running for re-election for the McHenry County Board, got corned beef and cabbage at the McHenry Township Republican Party event.
The occasion was the $5 corned beef and cabbage St. Patrick’s Day Dinner.
The price was set to break even on the food and low enough that virtually everyone could afford to attend.
The fundraising came from sponsors who kicked in much bigger bucks.
Sandra Salgado introduced House Republican Leader Jim Durkin.
After GOP Chairman Sandra Salgado introduced Durkin.
Jim Durkin addressed the crowd.
Durkin spoke in support of Steve Reick, the man under a $43,250 attack from a no-name pop-up committee called People for Good Government.
Steve Reick expressed his thanks for support repeatedly.
Then, Reick addressed the crowd that had grown larger as four o’clock approached.
Following him was former Congressman Joe Walsh.
Walsh related that when he was elected in 2010 people were angry.
He contended that they were angrier now.
Walsh urged Republicans to capture the anger.
Next up was State’s Attorney candidate Patrick Kenneally.
Besides Steve Reick, Patrick Kenneally was the first candidate to address the crowd.
At that point I had to leave to attend the Environment Defenders annual meeting.
I presume that the other candidates in attendance also spoke to those gathered at the Johnsburg Community Club.
**a no-name pop-up committee called People for Good Government.**
LOL – how is it a “no-name” committee if it has a name?

It is a committee that didn’t even register before its first mailing came out.
