Mark Vargas is the Editor-in-Chief of Illinois Review, the state’s leading source for conservative news and commentary. A political strategist and media personality, Vargas is also a columnist and frequent on-air analyst for Newsmax and formerly co-hosted The StoneZONE with Roger Stone.
In 2025, he was appointed by the White House as a Republican National Committee (RNC) media surrogate for the 2026 Midterm Election Cycle, regularly appearing across national television, radio, and digital platforms to advocate for President Donald J. Trump’s policies and advance the broader Republican agenda.
A former civilian official in the Office of the Secretary of War, Vargas completed 14 deployments to Baghdad as part of a U.S. task force focused on economic stabilization and reconstruction. He was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Civilian Service Medal for his service.
He later played a key role in securing presidential clemency for former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and longtime Trump ally Roger Stone – efforts highlighted by The Wall Street Journal.
