The Chicago Young Republicans held a watch party for President Donald J. Trump’s second state of the union address Tuesday night. It was held at McGees Tavern near DePaul University with over 100 attending.

The CYRs are led by new president Chris Myers with Carly Campbell as their vice president. Many members of the Northwest Side GOP Club, led by their president Matt Podgorski and vice president Ammie Kessem, also attended the event.

Candidate for Chicago mayor Willie Wilson was a special surprise guest.  In an unusual move, the Chicago Young Republicans “recommended” Wilson, just short of a full endorsement. Of the 14 mayoral candidates, the Young Republicans determined Wilson is the most business-friendly.

Wilson has said he is the only mayoral candidate that voted for Donald J. Trump.
 
One of Wilson’s campaign promises is to reopen Meigs Field, once a Chicago lakefront airport that was bulldozed in the dark of night in 2003 by former Mayor Richard Daley. Wilson supports a Chicago casino and legalization of marijuana, which does not sit well with the Republican base. Still, the group was excited to chat with Wilson. 
 
Four years ago the Chicago GOP organization endorsed Willie Wilson as shown in this Illinois Review story. 
 
On Saturday the Northwest Side GOP Club is holding a Meet-n-Greet for Willie Wilson on Saturday at Paterno’s Pizza at 5303 North Milwaukee Avenue from 4-530 p.m.  The event is free. More details on their Facebook event page.
 
The election for mayor along with 50 Chicago aldermen is Tuesday, February 26, 2019 with early voting taking place now. A winner must receive 51% of the vote, otherwise a runoff will take place in April between the top two vote getters.
