Lake County GOP Out In Force At Libertyville Days

I spent the morning doing the Libertyville parade, which is always fun. The local GOP was well-represented. Strangely, there was nary a Dem to be seen in the parade (as far as TA could tell), although I heard they have a booth. I guess Dems figure they only have to come out during election years. Republicans, on the other hand, understand that they have to make an investment in the community and stick around for the long haul, not come out just when they are looking for votes.

Here are some of my better pix, courtesy of my trusty Blackberry:

Below is Judge Wally Dunn, Congressman Mark Kirk, a supporter of Justice Mary Schostok, and Sheriff Mark Curran


Here's Libertyville Township GOP Chairman John Emerson getting the awesome GOP float ready.




Below is State Representative Ed Sullivan, Jr. and longtime supporter Adam Beeson.



Here's Young Republicans President Collin Corbett and Kris Duffy (State Senator Dan Duffy missed the parade because he had 'flood repair' duty back at home)

Here's State Representative Candidate Dan Sugrue and his team, getting ready to march.

Below is the car driven by the team of Justice Mary Schostok and Ann Jorgensen, both of whom are running for retention to the Illinois Appellate Court.

This is Ed (didn't catch his last name), Donna O'Leary, and Ant Simonian, who is Executive Director of the Lake County Republican Federation.

Here's County Board Member Ann Maine, with our Sheriff, Mark Curran.

Finally, here's one more view of the GOP float just as it's about to get going.
