Illinois Republican Party

Andrzejewski to lead Polish-American Coalition for Illinois GOP
6/24/2010

Founder of "For The Good Of Illinois" and former Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Andrzejewski will be the key to the Illinois Republican Party's outreach and "Get-Out-The-Vote" efforts within the Polish-American community.

Andrzejewski was endorsed by and maintains a friendship with former Polish President Lech Walesa, who founded Solidarity and won the 1983 Noble Peace Prize. In January, 2010 Walesa said that he sees Andrzejewski as a “…young Ronald Reagan.” Besides President Reagan, Walesa had never endorsed another American politician.

Illinois Republican Chairman Pat Brady said he was excited about Andrzejewski leading the effort within the Polish community. Brady said he hopes Eastern European voters of all nationalities will be energized by the new faces of the Republican Party and work together to preserve conservative ideals in the political arena.

“People of Polish descent understand the effect of a strong central government and of ‘command and control’ bureaucracies. The historical Polish motto, 'For Our Freedom and Yours' is just one example of the liberty principles deeply ingrained within the Polish community. The Polish-American community will help the Illinois Republican Party reverse the government centric paradigm advocated by Illinois Democrats. This strategic relationship will be critical to the future of Illinois and America,” Andrzejewski said.

Andrzejewski is working hard to form an action organization of a dozen volunteers to help network the Polish voting community. To volunteer in this critical effort, please call Basia Sikora at 630-899-9191.
