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.
