The Cook County Republican Central Committee Convention this Wednesday is expected to be an energetic one, as Dr. Eric Wallace, founder of the Freedom Journal Institute has announced his intention to challenge incumbent Sean Morrison for Chairman of the Cook County Republican Party.

Morrison has served as chairman since 2016, and currently serves as Cook County Commissioner representing the 17th District. Morrison is also on the state central committee – the governing board of the Illinois Republican Party and remains a close confidante and ally of embattled IL GOP Chairman Don Tracy.

And sources confirm that Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts is weighing in and endorsing Wallace for chairman. In 2019, President Donald Trump selected Ricketts to serve as Finance Chairman for Trump Victory. Ricketts was also listed as a co-chair for the Palm Beach fundraiser a few weeks ago that raised a record $50.5 million for President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. In 2019, President Trump selected Todd to serve as Finance Chairman for Trump Victory.

Illinois Republican Party officials have come under fire for their lack of support for the conservative grassroots base of the party – and for their lack of support for President Trump – the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States.

Disgraced Chicago Republican Party Chairman Steve Boulton – a close ally and friend of Morisson, is digging in his heels and attacking this publication for reporting that in 2016, he compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler – calling the revelations a “smear campaign” as party officials, including state party chairman Don Tracy and Morrison, remain silent – failing to call out Boulton for his despicable comment.

Republicans in Cook County and statewide, continue to lose election after election, while local and state party officials demean and belittle the grassroots base of the party – the heart and soul of the Illinois Republican Party.

Wallace is widely respected amongst conservatives, and if elected, he’d be the first African American to serve as Chairman of the Cook County Republican Party. Dr. Wallace holds post-graduate degrees in Biblical Studies. A former pastor, Wallace is known as a dynamic speaker and writer and he’s traveled the country talking about faith and public policy. In 2011, Wallace and his wife, Jennifer, founded Freedom’s Journal Institute (FJI) for the Study of Faith and Public Policy, an Illinois-based nonprofit organization designed to “advance the Kingdom of God through socio-political, education and engagement.”

In addition to earning Ricketts’ support, Wallace is also endorsed by former Republican candidate for governor Max Solomon, 18th Ward Committeeman and Chairman of the Southside GOP Devin Jones, New Trier Township Committeeman Julie Cho and Elk Grove Township Republican Chairman and Committeeman Ed Lapinski.

The Cook County Republican Central Committee Convention is April 17th.
