Subject: Jan 2022 Treasurer's report

 

To all:

 

Here is our monthly income statement for January

 



 

For those who have not been on the email lists, the state party is now
involved in a lawsuit in Cook County to ensure that our full rights as an
Established Party are not being abridged.  We received 6.7% of the vote in
the States Attorney race against Kim Foxx in 2020.  Per Illinois election
law and LP IL v. Schulz (7th Circuit finding, 2017), we are an Established
Party in Cook County for 4 years and are able to elect precinct committemen
and have ballot access for all subordinate political subdivisions within the
county.  Cook County Clerk Karin Yarbrough has decided that as this year is
a redistricting year, we do not qualify for township offices, precinct
committemen nor Cook County Board district seats.  We have 3 candidates for
County Board as well as a full slate for Cook County countywide officials.
We gave our arguments in Federal Court last week and the judge will hear
from the States Attorneys representing Clerk Yarbrough.  The judge in this
matter will rule on our motion on February 23.  Should he not find in our
favor, I would expect the executive committee to move forward with an appeal
to the 7th Circuit shortly therafter.  As Schulz was a 7th Circuit decision,
it is expected that the court would rule in our favor.

 

I will notify the board of the Clerk's response to our motion on the 16th
when I am notified.
