TINLEY PARK – Tuesday night, the Bremen Township Republican Organization in south suburban Cook County picked their favorites for the June 28th IL GOP primary. 

After hearing from nearly 20 candidates or their campaign representatives on an array of current issues, the BTRO attendees gave a sampling of how Cook County suburban Republicans are thinking. 

In contested statewide races, BTRO members picked Kathy Salvi for US Senate, Darren Bailey/Stephanie Trussell for Gov/LG, David Shestokas for Attorney General, Dan Brady for Secretary of State.  

The results on the governor's race surprised many attendees, as GOP candidate Richard Irvin has spent millions of dollars on ads in the Chicago area and received zero votes in the BTRO straw poll. The Irvin campaign argues that Bailey cannot win in the suburbs.

In congressional races that include portions of Bremen Township, the poll's winners were Eric Carlson in the 1st CD, Thomas Lynch in the 2nd CD, and Keith Pekau in the 6th CD. 

For Bremen Township Republican Committeeman, Carl Ivan won over Max Solomon. 

Questions were posed to the candidates by Illinois Review editor and co-founder Fran Eaton on topics that are currently being covered by Illinois Review, ranging from inflation, green energy, supply chain, student loan debt, surging crime, immigration, the US Supreme Court and other topics. 

Event was organized by Bremen Township Deputy Committeeman Sand Czyznikiewicz and Audrey Tancos.

More will be coming in the days ahead in Illinois Review on how the candidates responded to those questions.
