Tom Morrison - IL State Representative (R-54th District) 2011-2023:

Lisa Moran - Palatine Township Trustee/Clerk 2005-2025:

I am writing to express my enthusiastic endorsement of David Prichard for Palatine Township Republican Committeeman. Having known Dave for several years, I have seen firsthand the relentless work ethic and integrity he brings to every initiative; in numerous efforts and multiple campaigns. Dave doesn't just talk about conservative values; he does the hard work required to defend them. From stuffing envelopes and answering phones to pounding the pavement door-to-door, his dedication was a cornerstone of our 2021 Republican Township victory.

Without his fierce commitment, our team would have been at a significant disadvantage. If we want a thriving Republican Organization in Palatine Township, we need a leader who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. That leader is David Prichard. Dave leads with character. He is a man of his word, whose resilience is matched only by his integrity. I urge every Republican to vote for David Prichard in the March 17, 2026 Primary Election.

Richard M. Hartian - Board President, Illinois Family Institute and Township Resident:

“I wholeheartedly endorse David Prichard for Palatine Township Republican Committeeman because of his steadfast commitment to core conservative and Christian values—protecting life, strengthening families, and defending freedom—while rejecting self-serving politics in favor of humble, servant-hearted leadership as reflected in Philippians 2:3–4. With his proven grassroots experience and dedication to rebuilding a vibrant local Republican organization through integrity and active outreach, David will refocus our township party on what truly matters.”

Maria Goldstein and Laura Vandercar - Co-founders of NorthWest Families for Life:

We gladly endorse David Prichard for Palatine Township Republican Committeeman. David is a leader of unwavering principle who understands that the right to life is the foundation of all other liberties. While standing for 100% pro-life values can be challenging in today’s political climate, David has shown the courage to step out in faith. We trust him to resolutely defend the sanctity of life at every age and stage. More than ever pro-life township residents need to get out and vote for David Prichard who will steadfastly proclaim and protect our core values.”

Leslee Dirnberger, J.D. - Founder of Aspire Education, Homeschool Coach, Author, Speaker

"I am thrilled and honored to endorse Dave Prichard for Palatine Township Committeeman in the upcoming March 17 election. I have known Dave for many years as he has worked tirelessly for our community as a volunteer, giving both his time and treasure to help all of us have a voice at the most crucial level of government.  As a parent and a business owner who works with many families in our community, I know that Dave's integrity, faith, and dedication is what we need to ensure quality candidates and transparency of government. Dave strongly believes in parental rights, including a parent's right to choose how to educate their child. We are all looking for transparency in our government from people who know how to have productive discourse. Dave is  the first person I think of who will deliver that."

Tracy Smodilla - Illinois Parental Rights Advocate, Past Deputy State Central Committeeman for 8th Congressional District, Past Republican Nominee for Illinois Senate District 22:

“As someone who has championed conservative principles in Illinois for more than 30 years, I am proud to offer my full support for Dave Prichard. His integrity, service, and principled leadership make him the right choice for Palatine Township Republican Committeeman. I have worked with Dave since 2018 on election and issue-based campaigns rooted in conservative values. He consistently stands for policies that empower individuals, strengthen families, and expand opportunity.

Dave recognizes that Township Republican Organizations exist to elect principled candidates—not to function as social clubs. While others sit out “nonpartisan” races, Dave invests time and resources to support strong candidates, especially in school board and local contests. Dave played a key leadership role in a statewide ballot initiative protecting parents and children. His work is never about personal credit—only about advancing ethical, effective leadership.”
