“We are excited that our meeting will be Jil Tracy’s first public forum in the Chicago area since joining the Dillard ticket,” said Aaron Del Mar, Palatine Township Republican Committeeman.  “Jil will be sharing with us why she is running for Lieutenant Governor and her work on the bipartisan pension panel.”

State Representative Tracy (R-Quincy) was announced to be Dillard’s choice for Lt. Governor on Tuesday.  She was born in Carbondale, Illinois and lives in Anna.  She graduated from Southern Illinois University with both a bachelor’s degree and a law degree.  Tracy has been in the State House since 2006.
