Corkscrew Pointe
With television sets showing the Democratic National Convention at the upper reaches of the room, State Rep. candidate Steve Reick held a fundraiser at Corkscrew Pointe in McHenry Thursday night.
Republican Party Chairman Sandra Salgado and State Rep. candidate Steve Reick.
McHenry County Republican Party Chairman Sandra Salgado was greeted by the candidate as she entered the back room where the reception was held.
To the left is current GOP Chairman Sandra Salgado. To the right is former GOP Chairman Jack Schaffer. Immediate past GOP Chairman Mike Tryon can be seen in the background talking to McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi. The man in the light sports coat is Lake County’s Cuba Township Trustee Jack Mumaw.
Not only was the current GOP Chairman in attendance, but so were two previous ones–State Rep. Mike Tryon and former State Senator Jack Schaffer.
Tryon introduced Reick.
Mike Tryon introduced Steve Reick.
In doing so, Tryon said that he thought that Springfield was “more dysfunctional than it’s ever been.”
He told of meeting with Reick two years ago concluding that Reick would make a good state representative.
And, Tryon noted, the result of Reick’s election against Jack Franks, the incumbent “decided it was time to more onto something else.”
A hearty round of applause greeted candidate Steve Reick.
Steve Reick speaking.
Reick said his role in Springfield would be to tell what’s important in McHenry County.
He said he was “going to do what was right.”
He pledged not “to come back home and tell folks what we were not able to do down there.”
Reick had three talking points:
- Fixing “the way we pay for schools.”
- Jobs – “We need to bring jobs back to Illinois and to this district.”
- State pension reform – “We need to find a separate way to pay for it.”
“This is a race we can win if we get out and work for it,” Reick concluded.
This is what we need from our state representative NOT what we have!
Tryon said two years ago, Reick had what it takes????
What about all those years you too served as a toadie to Franks and Madigan.
My gosh, Tryon, have you no shame?
Oh, wait, I think I just answered my own question.
Ask John oneil why Mike is not there
Democratic National Convention playing on the TV during Reicks fundraiser speaks volumes.
Not a smart one in the bunch to ask for the channel changer or maybe they are democrats?????
Steve will lose
It will be interesting to see
If Bartman even goes to any
Public events or just sends
Other people with cards &
Placards like Franks did recently.
Doesn’t Reick understand that Do-Little Tryon and Pension-Emperor Schaffer LOSE him votes?
They are RINO-fatcats whose records are deplorable!
Did Corkscrew need extra room de-oderizers after they slithered in from their fetid lairs in the County’s south?
