Embattled Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy announced his resignation on Wednesday.
Tracy made the announcement in a letter to party members this afternoon. Tracy took the volunteer post three-and-a-half years ago advocating for party unity."Unfortunately, I have had to spend far too much time dealing with intra-party power struggles and local intra-party animosities that continued after primaries and County Chair elections," Tracy said.The Illinois Democratic Party has continued its political dominance in the state under Tracy’s watch.
"Recent events, including the RNC Committeeman election, immediately followed by the retribution sacking of the losing candidate Vice Chair Mark Shaw, a long-time State Party leader and worker, without due process and without taking any step disciplining others for alleged or admitted Convention misconduct, portends a direction of the state party I am not comfortable with," Tracy said.His resignation will take effect on July 19.
