Local Republicans are confident the GOP will regain power at both the state and national level come November.
“I think we have the opportunity to have a clean sweep in Illinois and across the nation,” said State Sen. Randall Hultgren, R-Winfield, during Saturday’s Kane County GOP Unity party at Riverside Receptions in Geneva.
Hultgren won the GOP nomination in the 14th Congressional District Tuesday in a close race with Ethan Hastert, who was seeking his father’s former seat.
Hultgren will face incumbent Democrat Bill Foster of Batavia in the Nov. 2 general election.
Saturday’s event served as a way for Republicans to unite after the election, which turned testy after Hultgren’s campaign produced a mailer that alleged the law firm Hastert works for lobbies for companies that have a history of human trafficking.
Hultgren later apologized for the mailer, and praised Hastert during the event.
“I know you will make a huge difference in anything you do,” Hultgren said. “You will make us so proud.”
Hastert in turn has thrown his support behind Hultgren.
“We need to do everything we can to send him to Washington,” Hastert said. “Bill Foster has to go.”
Kane County GOP chairman Mike Kenyon also was upbeat about the Republican party’s chances in November.
“This is our time,” Kenyon said. “We’re going to get this state back in shape.”
