Kirk Dillard

Time and again.

Go all the way back to 2008 when r- sitting Republican State Senator Kirk Dillard endorsed Barack Obama.

Hail fellow well met Kirk Dillard from Hinsdale.

Jim Edgar's chief of staff, in case you hadn't heard.

He's only been living off that for the last 20 years.

Pick an issue, any issue.

If it wasn't for sort of an unholy deal to get, uh, uh, scholarship tax credits under Rauner, and then fail to defend them so Pritzker could just come in and take it all away, and Supreme Court interceding on behalf of American citizens and their individual rights of self-protection, the Republican Party would have... would be completely indistinguishable from the machine and now DSA party of the last 25 years here.

And it's because of the Jim Durkins and the Kirk Dillards who destroyed the party from within, did what the left cannot do, and made it the super minority party, and now they lecture about who is making the party unappealing.

Well,

speaking of your board, it was a little triggering to see Kirk Dillard's name, and underneath it, it says governor.

Yeah.

Oh, the times when Republicans were like Kirk.

Bruce Rauner? I mean, Bruce obviously won his one race, but he didn't govern like he ran, unfortunately.

I was with Dillard in that primary, Kirk Dillard, for a reason.

You know, I think if we had nominated and then elected somebody like a Kirk Dillard, he probably would still be governor right now.

And the state would be in a heck of a lot better position.

You know, you see states like Illinois around the country.

And Seamus Toomey, the founder of Block Club Chicago, very uniquely Chicago institution.

I mentioned, of course, Kirk Dillard, who has done so much for our wonderful city.

And then there is one and only Hedy Ratner who is here.

Hedy, thank you for all that you've done for our city and especially for the women in our city who have become the leaders that you all are.
