CJ Gallo, State Director of Surus Illinois, welcomed Troy Township to the fight to turn Illinois red: "Troy Township may be small, but it has the potential to improve margins and help deliver victories in several targeted pickup opportunities for Republicans.” said Gallo. "The Surus Illinois team looks forward to getting dedicated Troy Township volunteers focused on building a relationship with the nearly 4,000 unreliable Republican voters there who are key to turning Illinois Red.”

The Battle Program aims to revitalize civic engagement by reshaping local Republican Party organizations into vibrant, effective community anchors that attract volunteers, earn the trust of donors, and inspire volunteerism.
