Join the battle! Join the party! The 2026 Election Cycle is already underway, so let's get together for inspiration before our work gets even more intense.
Celebrate with us at our Summer Picnic from 2:30-5:30 p.m. Sunday, August 4, 2024 at Clarkson Park in Northfield.
We will have food, soft drinks, beer, and wine, and we expect to have plenty of good conversations and fellowship.
Our local candidates will be invited, and they will have their petitions to circulate. State Senator Liandro "Li" Arellano Jr. (R-Dixon) is coming all the way out to Northfield to give you an update on what is happening in Springfield. Sen. Arellano is in his first term as State Senator covering several North Central Illinois counties, including his hometown of Dixon, where he served as Mayor for eight critical years as he took office shortly after one of the largest municipal frauds in U.S. history was uncovered. Dixon can also lay claim to being the hometown to perhaps the most important figure in the Republican Party during the 20th Century, Ronald Reagan.
This event is free to paid members of Northfield Township Republican Organization. Please click here to renew your membership for 2025.
