The Illinois Republican Party Red Gala’s organizing committee is a passionate group of Republican volunteers dedicated to making a difference in Illinois. Our mission is vital: to raise funds for our early voting, Vote-By-Mail (VBM), and Get Out The Vote (GOTV) initiatives.

As we prepare for the Red Gala on April 25th at the Renaissance Schaumburg we are reaching out to ask for your generous support. Your contribution will play a pivotal role in helping us achieve our goals, and bring about positive change in our beloved state. RSVP today!

Competing in Critical Initiatives: Last election cycle, the Democrats invested nearly $20
million in early voting, VBM, and GOTV initiatives, while we could allocate only approximately
$400,000. This disparity greatly affected the outcomes of many close races. However,
Republicans made significant gains in early voting and utilizing VBM as more Republicans
embraced voting before Election Day, thanks to the efforts of our first Bank Your Vote gala.

2024 Results: Republicans were the only voting group who increased their share of mail/early voters from 2020 to 2024.

• The Illinois Republican Party increased Republican mail and early vote turnout by 35%
• 1 in 4 low propensity Republicans voted before Election Day–the highest percentage in Illinois history.
• Low propensity Republicans voted early and by mail at a higher rate than unreliable
• Democrats for the first time in IL history, outperforming them by 7.6%.

With our 2nd annual gala, we are creating an annual tradition that Illinois Republicans can rally behind and use as a platform to keep fighting for our values in the state. The Red Gala will bring together a group of passionate Republicans in one room, ignite the base’s enthusiasm, and leave with a sense of positive momentum leading into the next election cycle. Together, we aim to reclaim Illinois for the Republican Party.
