From the Illinois State Republican Party:
The Illinois Republican Party is thrilled to announce that Nick Shirley will headline this year’s Red Gala as the keynote speaker.
One of the fastest-rising independent journalists in America, Nick Shirley has built a massive national following by going where mainstream media will not, asking the questions others avoid, and documenting raw, unfiltered truth from the front lines. From migrant shelters and border towns to government facilities and international conflict zones, Nick’s reporting has sparked national conversations and brought unprecedented attention to stories too often ignored by traditional outlets.
Now, Nick Shirley is coming to Illinois for one of the biggest Republican events of the year. The Red Gala is more than just a celebration. It is the event that powers Republican Get Out The Vote operations, election integrity efforts, and grassroots organizing across Illinois. In a blue stronghold like Illinois, every dollar raised helps build the infrastructure needed not just to compete, but to win.
Last year’s Red Gala drew more than 1,000 energized attendees from every corner of Illinois. With Nick Shirley announced as this year’s keynote speaker, excitement is already building rapidly and demand for tickets is expected to be extremely high.
Tickets and sponsorships are expected to sell quickly. We strongly encourage you to secure your spot as soon as possible for what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Republican events in Illinois this year.

And that wasn’t all.
