Another day, another loss for Tom DeVore
Thursday, Apr 16, 2026 - Posted by Rich Miller * Background is here and here if you need it. From former Illinois RNC National Committeeman Richard Porter…
As we discussed yesterday, failed 2022 attorney general candidate Tom DeVore was running in the 15th District. You’ll notice his name isn’t on the winner’s list. Oops. Looks like constantly ranting and raving on Facebook all day every day about fellow Republicans isn’t the same as putting in the actual work to win a race. After building up his profile by losing numerous COVID-related court cases, DeVore ran and lost for attorney general. Lost some gun case battles and had his law license suspended. And now this.

The irony of having been chosen by the IL GOP to run as Attorney General, and then two years later not being able to win your hometown representative slot should not go unnoticed. Words and deeds matter.

At this point, maybe he should open an ice cream shop.

Does the F Team have their own theme music yet?

Don’t worry,Rich.
Tom has been explaining why he lost.
It’s a big conspiracy among RINOs or something.
Nothing at all to do with his record or comments or namecalling or anything like that…nope…not a bit.

Tom Devore never fails, he’s only failed by others.

I’m far from a fan of Tom DeVore, for multiple reasons, but to be totally fair, the system the Republicans (and only the Republicans) in Illinois use to pick their State Central Committee is in fact ridiculous and highly prone to corruption. How ever you wan’t to define democracy, that’s not what the Illinois Republican Party is doing when it comes to picking their governing board. Not even close.

That’s true. State law provides two options. But if you run, you should know the rules and how the game is played.

It would be interesting to see the actual numbers from the 5th Congressional District contest between Aaron Del Mar and Wheeling Township Assessor Ken Jochum. The 5th includes precincts in Cook and Lake Counties.
Del Mar was unable to declare victory at the County Convention held in Chicago. If one key ward or township committee leader had changed his or her vote, Aaron could have lost Cook County. Del Mar had 7,087 votes to Jochum’s 5,720.

He’s quickly catching up to Darren Bailey in losses.
