Illinois – Taking steps to fulfill their commitment to reach out to the Hispanic community in support of Republican principles, The Illinois Republican National Hispanic Assembly (RNHA) has launched a new website – www.illinoisrnha.org – and formed a new DuPage County chapter.
A meeting to create a DuPage County RNHA chapter was held on August 21st at the DuPage County GOP Headquarters in Wheaton. The group will be approved once all requirements are submitted and a vote of the RNHA Executive Committee takes place.
Steve Orlando, Chairman of the Illinois RNHA, is pleased with the progress of the Illinois charter; “In the month that we’ve been active, the RNHA is already taking steps to building new chapters and engaging more Hispanics in supporting the Republican platform. This is a very encouraging sign. Hispanics are ready to start getting involved more, and we’re here to show them that they have a home, and a voice, within the Republican Party.”
The ILRNHA shows no signs of slowing down in the coming months. “We’re in the process of creating more county chapters to add to the four that we already have active, and we’re providing our chapters with new ideas on how to grow their respective membership rosters. Soon, we’ll be running Saturday phone banks in Palos Park during September and October,” states Orlando, “We’re keeping very busy.”
Currently, the four active RNHA Chapters include Cook, Will, Kane, and DuPage counties, and are each working with candidates and elected officials in their counties and districts to reach out to the Hispanic community. These four counties are home to some of the largest Hispanic populations in Illinois.
