From The Real Story with Jeanne Ives and Amy Jacobson Broadcast Nov. 4th

What follows is a conversation the hosts had with Marty McLoughlin Wednesday morning after the election results were announced:

“Jeanne/Amy: Tell us what’s on your heart and what happened.

Marty: Well, listen, last cycle, 60,000 ballots were pulled in the 52nd District, and we had about 44,000 pulled this time. So, I think it’s pretty obvious that people were not inspired to go to the polls, particularly the independents.

I mean, let’s be frank, we didn’t exactly have the top of the ticket. We’re getting people excited, you know, for Darren Bailey, uh, the second run. And, you know, people like me that, uh, you know, kind of need the turnout, uh, definitely impacted the race that I was in.

Jeanne/Amy: You won last time by 47 votes. Last night you lost by 5,000 votes. And you’re, you’re talking about some nefarious things that were going on outside of, uh, polling places. Do you think that played a part?

Marty: No, no. Yeah, yeah, it was nuts. It was crazy. People were being accosted in the— it’s, you know, the— that’s— it’s not an excuse. I— here’s the good news, ladies. In about 14 months, we get to go out and start the process all over again. In 2 years, decide. Um, that’s what I love about this country.

Every 2 years, you get to decide the direction of our community. So for everyone that’s so devastated, I just like to remind them they’re 14 months away from going out and getting petition signatures to go at this again. That’s what I love about this country is that you get a constant opportunity to provide the direction of how your school boards go, how your park districts, how the state legislature.

I will say this, and you guys know me, we have not done a great job as whatever Republicans are anymore, because I always have a hard time figuring that one out. We should be messaging. We want to return to reasonable. We want to make crime illegal again. We want to make our taxes— tax dollars go further. And we don’t do that in a concise fashion so that nobody knows what we stand for anymore across the state.

If I were to ask, you know, how does Kevin Schmidt message in St. Louis or Joe Sosnowski in Rockford or myself, we’re all independent agents out there. And that sounds great until you’re running against people who are angry because there’s an ‘R’ in front of your name and they don’t really, they don’t really wanna know a whole lot more about you. And I’ve, from a messaging capacity, that’s been one of my big things for years. Let’s get 2 or 3 things that we all message.

So, when there’s an ‘R’ in front of your name, you go, oh, those are the people who brought low taxes. Those are the people that wanna be reasonable. And we don’t do that. And I think it’s a missed opportunity.

So, I congratulate my opponent. I’m looking forward to the higher taxes, the high-density housing, and the BUILD Act. And you get what you vote for. So this will be interesting. I’m sure she has plenty of ideas that’ll solve the state’s problem.

Amy/Jeanne: Yeah, and with super, super, super majorities now, they’re going to get it good and hard. And Maria Peterson will get to, you know, pretend like she’s not really in favor of those policies because they have so many extra votes too, with real true Marxists in Chicago that have been their long term. So, she’ll be safe from some of those terrible votes, and then she can play like, I didn’t vote for that. Again, this is what they do all the time, and this is why Marty, you’re a huge loss, in my opinion, to the caucus. You were reasonable.

Marty: And, um, you know, Amy’s really upset. 300 pounds. Amy thought I was 300 pounds. Are you talking weight-wise, or what are we talking about here? You know?

Amy/Jeanne: Well, you’re gonna run again in 2028, so that’s good news. That’s something positive.

Marty: Who, me? Well, listen, you know what, it’s only government. You know, I can do this in my sleep. Uh, if people want to, um, you know, get involved, I help people get elected all the time, Jeanne. I, I think there’s opportunities that are coming up in the spring, there’s opportunities next summer.

The only way we win this is by getting people, good people, to do this for the right reasons. I’m super proud of the way I did this for 6 years, the way I was mayor for 8. Wouldn’t change a thing. And, you know, the people in the District, it’s been a pleasure serving them.”

Republican Senator Darby Hills and Democrat Rep. Nabeela | Photos by Jerry Nowicki

Democrat Nabeela Syed is outraising Republican Darby Hills two to one in an Illinois Senate race that’s already fetched $6.5 million in contributions.

By Brett Chase | Chicago Sun*Times

Republicans are not expected to make a dent in Democrats’ supermajority in the Illinois General Assembly, but a multi-million-dollar suburban legislative race has turned into a fiery, closely watched contest in the lead-up to Election Day Tuesday.

In that race, state Rep. Nabeela Syed, a Democrat from Inverness, is challenging incumbent Republican Darby Hills of Barrington Hills for the Illinois Senate 26th District seat.

The $6.5 million raised makes it one of the most expensive contests in the history of the General Assembly, said Alisa Kaplan, executive director of Reform for Illinois.

Syed received at least $4.7 million in contributions, much of it from her party, while Hills has raised $1.8 million, said Kaplan, whose organization runs the Illinois Sunshine Database.

“The Democratic leadership wants to flip this seat, and it shows,” Kaplan said.

Syed raised more than $3 million from the Democratic Party of Illinois and the Illinois Senate Democratic Fund, which is controlled by Illinois Senate President Don Harmon. She’s also raised substantial amounts of money from unions.

Darby’s last big contribution from her party was in August when the Illinois Senate Republican Campaign gave her $300,000.

Your Vote Matters

By Jeanne Ives | Breakthrough Ideas

Tomorrow’s election will determine the direction of the country, state, and local governments for the next 2-4 years, and possibly longer. People should carefully consider who they choose to represent them in every office from forest preserve to the U.S. Senate. Voters should carefully consider candidates’ qualifications for the positions they seek, their past records if previously elected, and what they say they are going to do once in office. These officeholders will be making consequential decisions on you, your family, and your livelihood.

For too long, we have had Democrat control of the statehouse and statewide offices, and that has led to one of the slowest-growing and highest-taxed states in the nation. We’ve also become one of the most morally depraved states, celebrating abortion, allowing our kids to be indoctrinated in DEI nonsense, and diminishing parental rights in numerous ways. These policies and our trajectory as the dysfunctional neighbors on the block can be reversed if we get the right leadership.

While every race is important, a few races are real indicators of whether Illinois voters have really drunk the DSA Kool-Aid and whether enough commonsense voters still exist or are paying attention.

Darby Hills v. Nabeela Syed for State Senate District 26

Darby Hills is the incumbent, and she has real-world experience that makes her a valuable legislator. Her opponent went from college at UC Berkeley to running for state rep. She has no experience to speak of professionally or personally, such as owning a home and having a family. The district has some of the wealthiest areas of the state and also areas that are more modest. This suburban area has tended to be fiscally conservative and has some of the highest property taxes in the state. Who shows up to vote is very important. Listen to this interview with Darby Hills and share it with others ahead of the election tomorrow.

Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcTcm6U7NLA

Marty McLaughlin is running to retain his seat in the Illinois House.

He is one-half of the Darby Hills Senate district with the same situation. Are there enough voters aware of the issues and the qualifications to vote Marty back into office? Because choosing his unimpressive, pro-abort, resume-less Democrat opponent makes no sense at all. We need people with a deep understanding of local government, taxes, pensions, and more. Marty has that. He’s been a two-term mayor, manages pensions professionally, and understands business better than almost anyone else in the state house.

What will voters do? If Marty loses, Illinois loses, and it’s a bad indicator of worse things to come for taxpayers in this state.

State Rep. Martin “Marty” McLaughlin and State Sen. Darby Hills are endorsed by the Chicago Tribune and a very large number of elected officials in their respective Districts.

According to their candidate campaign websites, State Senator Darby Hills and Representative Martin McLaughlin have the endorsements of the Mayors or Village Presidents in their Districts of:

Barrington Hills, Barrington, South Barrington, Lake Barrington, Port Barrington, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, Libertyville, Island Lake, Volo and Wauconda.

Additionally, Hills is endorsed by the mayors of Long Grove and Tower Lakes. McLaughlin has the vote of the mayors of North Barrington, Cary and Hoffman Estates as well as former elected officials.

Contrast this with the campaign websites of Nabeela Syed and Maria Peterson, who boast the endorsements of the Mayors or Village Presidents of: Zero, Zip, Zilch and Nada!

What does this tell you? This explains exactly why Pritzker, PACs, Unions and Democrats have bankrolled their campaigns with millions of dollars in efforts to avert your attention.

Vote wisely. Vote for Marty McLaughlin and Darby Hills!

This week’s Reveille: The race between Nabeela Syed and Darby Hills for Illinois Senate District 26. Jeanne breaks down nearly $1.7 million in reported contributions from unions and Democratic leaders to Syed, and Syed’s campaign promises vs. her legislative voting record in the IL State House.

By Jeanne Ives | Breakthrough Ideas

“Nabeela Syed was only 23 when she was elected as a state rep. She went from college at the University of California, Berkeley, to running for office with a short stint as a digital strategist for an activist NGO.

She’s been celebrated by the press mostly for her identity. The Indian Express in 2022 said her victory was noteworthy in part because she is young, a first-generation Asian American, and a hijab-wearing Muslim woman.

Syed is a political climber, though. After 4 years in the House, she’s now running for State Senate. She says property taxes are too high, that she’ll fight for small business, and supports efforts to eliminate wasteful spending.

Her votes, though, show the opposite is true. There’s been no property tax relief, and she’s voted for millions in tax increases and the highest budgets in state history. She’s just another progressive Democrat bought and paid for by the unions and the Democrat Party in Illinois.

Over just the last 10 days, Senate Democrats have pushed over $1 million into Syed’s campaign.

Pritzker gave her another $10,000 and a teachers union PAC $40,000. Last quarter, her campaign took in nearly $1.7 million in donations from unions and Democrat leaders. They want this seat.

Also backing Syed is the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium. Their goal is building Asian American and immigrant power. And they want to fight for the civil, immigrant, and human rights for low-income, undocumented, queer, young people, seniors, and women.

Well, where does that leave the average Jane and Joe in Palatine and Barrington, Illinois? If you really want to know who your state rep or senator will represent when elected to office, just find out who’s funding their campaign.

Fortunately, the Chicago Tribune had the common sense to endorse Darby Hills for Senate District 26. She’ll represent Americans and taxpayers.

I’m Jeanne Ives.”
