The filing of a suit in McHenry County questioning whether Dan McConchie has Republican credentials has apparent spooked GOP biggies.

Notice of 2/21 Meeting for 26th Legislative District Committee

19 February, 2025

HONORABLE KEITH BRIN
REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN FOR LAKE COUNTY
February 18, 2025

To:
Hon. Jeff Thorsen, McHenry County Chairman
Hon. Andro Lerario, Kane County Chairman
Hon. Aaron Del Mar, Palatine Township Chairman
Hon. Peter Kopsaftis, Barrington County Chairman

Dear Chairmen:

I thank you for coming together on February 14, 2025 to organize the 26th Legislative District Committee (“the Committee”), in accordance with 10 ILCS 5/8-5, and to engage in the process of filling the vacancy in office of State Senator for the 26th Legislative District (“the Office”) following the resignation of State Senator Dan McConchie.

It has been brought to my attention that the Committee would be best served to meet again in order to ensure that there can be no question as to whether the process we followed properly empowered the Committee to act to fill the vacancy in this Office.

I therefore reach out to you in my capacity as Chair of the Republican Legislative District Committee for the 26th Legislative District, and invite you to a meeting this Friday, February 21, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the Palatine Township Republican Organization’s office at 765 N. Quentin Road, Palatine, Illinois. This meeting may also be attended virtually, via Zoom at:

Passcode: 742268

This meeting will be open to the public. As with our last meeting, with the help of the Senate Republicans, we will be publicizing this meeting, and have already provided the public with information on the makeup of this Committee as well as the application materials and process for any interested individuals.

Please call with any questions at all about this process. I appreciate what you do, and I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Sincerely,
Keith Brin
