The Only GOP Candidate Who Can Win Illinois
The Democrat machine has controlled Illinois for too long. That ends now.
Dear Illinoisian,
​
Our state stands at a crossroads. With Durbin's retirement, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to send a true conservative warrior to Washington—someone who champions our families and delivers real victories.
​
Illinois is the battlefield and Chicago is the frontline. I am Dr. Jimmy Lee Tillman II from Chicago—leading the MAGA Cavalry as the only GOP candidate who can win Chicago and has the strong name recognition statewide that Republicans need to win in Illinois. I'm also the only GOP candidate that the Democrat machine is afraid to face. While other candidates have ideas, I have a proven record of accomplishments.
​
As a bestselling author, historian, Heritage Foundation Academy Fellow, and President of the Martin Luther King Republicans, I led Direct Action campaigns that generated over 56,000 public comments opposing destructive regulations including the gas car bans, radical Title IX changes to allow boys in girls sports, gas stove bans, and attacks on conscience protection, forcing Democrats to delay for 2 years while career politicians made excuses.
​
Proven Results When It Mattered Most
Religious Freedom Victory When the Pritzker Administration closed churches during COVID, I stood up for the Right to Worship. They ONLY allowed 10 people back in, so I led the charge—ready to go to jail for Jesus if necessary. Result? Total victory for religious freedom across Illinois. Churches stayed open.
​
Legislative Leadership As a citizen, I championed the bills Washington ignored:
-
Secure the Border Act
-
Protecting Women and Girls in Sports Act
-
Limit, Save, Grow Act to slash $105 billion in wasteful government spending
-
​
Money that belongs in our communities, not bureaucratic waste.
​
Election Victory Strategy My "Grassroots Anaconda Strategy" delivered Michigan for Trump when everyone said it was impossible. We flipped Democrat strongholds like Detroit through pure grassroots power—the same proven strategy that will transform Illinois.
​
Defeating the Competition As a private citizen, I have already defeated the Democrats' top three contenders through strategic grassroots activities, proving that principled conservative action can overcome establishment power when we organize smart and work together.
​
Building the Right Team Across Illinois
I'm honored that folks from all over Illinois understand what's at stake. We need warriors at every level who combine America First policies, conservative values, and Dr. King's principles into an unstoppable force.
​
I'm building a powerful coalition of grassroots activists who trust results over rhetoric, community leaders hungry for victories, and patriots ready to serve. From suburban families to urban professionals, from rural communities to city neighborhoods—voters across Illinois are joining our MAGA Cavalry movement.
​
The Choice Is Clear
We can seize this moment and give Illinois the powerful conservative voice in the Senate we've been waiting for, or we can settle for another candidate who sounds good but lacks the proven ability to deliver results when it counts.
​
The time for wishing is over. The time for winning is now.
​
Your champion warrior,
​
Dr. Jimmy Lee Tillman II
