Festive Holiday Reception Celebrates Signature Circulators, Ballot Petition Acceptance and Campaign to Elect David Prichard the Next Palatine Township Republican Committeeman

Nearly 50 Republicans from across Palatine Township gathered on December 8 at Tap House Grill to herald the blessed Christmas season, enjoy a delicious buffet and generate excitement and momentum for the campaign to victory on Primary Election Day, March 17, 2026 and a much-needed, vibrant new chapter for Township Republicans.

In brief remarks, Republican Committeeman candidate David Prichard thanked the many patriots who collected ballot petition signatures, signed the petition and/or provided related support, all of which led to his successful filing of a strong 1,748 signatures on November 3.  This signature total is believed to be the 3rd largest among all Cook County Township Republican Committeeman filings.

Many valuable suggestions were received during the reception to help rejuvenate, restructure and rebuild the Republican Party in Palatine Township.  Attendees agreed that new management, new approaches and programs, and a fresh volunteer corps are among the ingredients that will ensure the Republican organization is an honorable, principled, transparent, efficient and active community force.

Prichard said he was truly humbled by the strong turnout at the holiday reception, noting that many others simply could not attend due to conflicts.

He added many Republicans already have offered to volunteer in the campaign, request a yard sign and donate.

“Enough is enough,” Prichard said.  “We can do -- and deserve – better for Republicans in Palatine Township.  Together we will move forward to victory on March 17, 2026 and begin a new growth era.”
