[LPIL - Board of Directors] Executive Director Report - August 2022

[Justin Tucker]

Fellow Libertarians - If you are not a recurring monthly donor to the LP 
Illinois, please visit www.lpillinois.org/donate to set. If you cannot 
donate monthly, please consider a one-time donation. Also please 
consider Lifetime Memberships. Thanks to all our donors, both new and 
recurring. We just paid for a petition drive and we need to rebuild the 
treasury. Become a donor today!

If you are not a Precinct Committeeperson, please consider becoming one. 
If you are in an established county, start planning the next PC 
elections. Meanwhile, the information on 
https://lpillinois.org/precinct-committeemen/ should be updated.

The GOP has filled vacancies in Cook County. There will be some 
three-way races, but we were able to work together and successfully 
challenge some of the vacancies, and now there will be key two-way races 
in Cook County. The CCLCC was sent notice by the Cook County Clerk's 
Office of the "Established Political Party Lottery" to be held tomorrow.

I wrote an appeal and sent it to the Ex Com. Seeing no further 
suggestions, I am going to schedule that one for tomorrow morning.

In the month of July, we brought in a total of $582.51. So far in 
August, we've brought in $2274.21. Again, we just paid for a petition 
drive and need to replenish our coffers. Please reach into your couch 
cushions, put aside a few coffees, and or whatever you can spare, large 
or small, to help rebuild. My all-time haul as ED is $11,380.62

9 of the top 20 months for contribution aggregate have been since April 
2021.

I am seeking another term as Chair of the Cook County Libertarian 
Central Committee. I seek to institute a plan for 2024 Ward 
Committeeperson races, update our bylaws to better comply with IL law, 
and to fill vacancies in Cook County townships. Please vote for me if 
you plan to attend the CCLCC convention next Wednesday in Oak Park.

I followed up with again JB Pritzker's staffer regarding a meeting with 
Libertarian constituents. Still no reply.

I encourage folks to secure their Libertarian memorabilia in our archive 
at UIC to protect them from damage. Reach out to me about donations. I 
plan on boxing up some things and making a donation soon.

Thank you for letting me serve you as Executive Director.

Best,
Justin Tucker
Executive Director, Libertarian Party of Illinois
