McDonough County Democratic Central Committee Announces $500 Contribution to WIRC’s Project Santa
Macomb, IL Oct. 29, 2025— The McDonough County Democratic Central Committee (MCDCC) is pleased to announce a $500 donation to the Western Illinois Regional Council (WIRC) in support of Project Santa, a long-standing holiday initiative that provides gifts to local families in need.
Due to an unprecedented number of applicants this year, WIRC was forced to close applications on October 15. As a result, the organization is seeking additional support to meet the high demand and ensure every child in the program has a joyful holiday season.
“We are proud to help Project Santa continue this important tradition in our community,” said Belinda Carr, chair “The need is greater than ever, and we encourage others to join us in supporting local families this holiday season.”
WIRC is currently welcoming both financial contributions and volunteer help, particularly individuals willing to assist with holiday shopping. Those interested in volunteering or donating can contact WIRC at 309-837-2997 for more information.

DPI AND IDCCA COORDINATE TO COLLECT OVER 17,000 SIGNATURES FOR STATEWIDE CANDIDATES
Springfield, IL — Early this morning, more than 17,000 petition signatures collected to secure ballot access for statewide incumbents Attorney General Kwame Raoul, Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias and Treasurer Mike Frerichs were filed. The impressive haul was the result of a coordinated effort by the Democratic Party of Illinois (DPI) and the Illinois Democratic County Chairs Association (IDCCA).
DPI Chair Lisa Hernandez praised the coordination between state and county organizers, “The collection of 17,000 signatures is the result of weeks of hard work by Democrats. Together, DPI and IDCCA ensured that when voters look at their ballots next year, they'll see strong incumbents who have been on the frontlines of fighting Republican extremism.”
IDCCA President Mark Guethle credited the tireless work of local leaders across Illinois, “Collecting seventeen thousand signatures isn’t just paperwork – it’s proof that Democrats can get things done, while the MAGA crew can barely manage their own dumpster fire. Our County Chairs, State Central Committeepeople and volunteers busted their butts this petition season. From Chicago to the reddest corners of the state, Democrats showed up to make sure we have candidates on that ballot who are committed to keeping Illinois a safe haven of justice, equality and common sense throughout Trump’s reign of terror.”
The petition drive was organized by DPI Executive Director Ben Hardin and IDCCA Executive Director Dan Kovats, who led the efforts to organize and mobilize thousands of Democrats across the state. Their coordinated campaign ensured the Illinois’ statewide leaders are officially on the ballot and ready to continue delivering for all Illinoisans.

We will continue to work every day for access to affordable high-quality healthcare for all Americans, at a time when Republicans are working to cut lifesaving Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.
