A Reality Check for Republicans

Today’s Supreme Court action on mail-in voting should be a wake-up call.

We may not like mail-in voting. We can demand stronger verification, greater transparency and faster counting. But it is part of the system we have today.

If Democrats are using mail ballots and early voting, Republicans cannot sit those elections out and expect to win.

We have to compete where the votes are.

Secure ballots. Strong verification. Transparent counting. And every legally cast ballot counted as quickly as possible.

And most importantly:

If we want to change the election laws, we have to win the majority first.

We don’t change the rules by sitting on the sidelines.

We win elections. We earn the majority. Then we change the laws.

Until then, Republicans need to use every legal avenue available to us and get very, very good at it.

🇺🇸 Compete. Win. Then change the rules

Illinois’ Democratic leaders expressed trepidation after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to proceed with plans that could severely limit mail-in voting.

Success at WTRO‘s first driveway bonfire in Plainfield! Area residents chatted with our local candidates, Gabby Shanahan for State Representative, Will Co. Clerk Annette Parker, Will Co. Board members Mark Revis and Julie Berkowicz (a candidate for IL State Sen. #21).

No speeches, no chicken dinner. Plenty of food, s’mores, and 1:1 conversation around the fire, under a glorious August moon.

This administration has removed people from the country who had criminal records. That is absolutely factual.
Crime, especially homicide, has fallen dramatically during the same period. The FBI reports an 18.1% decline in homicide in 2025 and a 9.3% decline in violent crime overall.

The reasonable argument is: if you remove a person who is committing crimes from the community, that person cannot commit those crimes in that community anymore. That’s just common sense.

Actions speak louder than campaign slogans.

If you’re elected by political insiders, funded by political insiders, and answer to political insiders, it’s fair for voters to ask one simple question:

Who will you really represent?

The people of the 97th District deserve an independent voice, someone who puts constituents ahead of party pressure.

Gabby is running to represent the people, not party leadership. She’ll earn your trust by listening, being accessible, and making every decision based on one question:

“Is this what’s best for the families, businesses, and taxpayers of the 97th District?”

Vote for the person. Not the politics. Put the 97th District first
