1st Annual Multi-County Young Republican Conference

The Kendall County Young Republicans are hosting the 1st Annual Multi-County Young Republican Conference with the Young Republicans from Kendall, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, and Will.  The event is being held on Wednesday, August 24th at 6:30pm at Whitetail Ridge Golf Club off of Route 126 in Yorkville.  The conference will consist of federal and state officials in a panel discussion crafting the Republican story in an effort to engage young people throughout the region. 

The discussion will be moderated by WLS-AM's Dan Proft and participants will include Congressman Randy Hultgren, Republican National Committee Secretary Demetra Demonte, Senator Chris Lauzen, Senator Kirk Dillard, Senator Dave Syverson, Rep Kay Hatcher, Rep Pam Roth, Rep Bob Pritchard and more.  “In 2008, democrats did a great job engaging young people.  Following the big gains Republicans made in 2010 a group of us decided that Republicans could do even better if we were able to engage younger generations in Illinois.  This is the first step in our efforts to educate and encourage involvement by young people”, said Kendall County Young Republican Chairman Scott Gryder.
