Don Tracy Announces Endorsements from Illinois Republican Congressional Delegation
SPRINGFIELD — U.S. Senate candidate Don Tracy today announced the endorsements of Illinois’ Republican congressional delegation:
- Representative Mike Bost (IL-12)
- Representative Mary Miller (IL-15)
- Representative Darin LaHood (IL-16)
The endorsements further signal unified Republican support behind Tracy’s campaign to bring strength, leadership, and common sense to the U.S. Senate and to ensure Illinois families have representatives in Washington focused on lowering their cost of living.
With Springfield’s Dick Durbin retiring, the 2026 election represents a defining opportunity to expand Illinois’ Republican representation in Congress and build a stronger delegation committed to working families across all 102 counties.
“Don Tracy is a proven leader who understands the challenges Illinois families face because he’s lived them,” said Congressman Darin LaHood. “In Washington, he won’t be distracted by political noise; he will focus on the issues that matter most: lowering the cost of living, reining in out-of-control spending, and ensuring our communities remain safe. Whether in our smallest farming towns or our largest urban centers, Don will fight for every corner of our state to ensure all families have the opportunity to achieve their American Dream. I’m proud to endorse Don because he offers the principled, common sense leadership the Land of Lincoln deserves.”
Congresswoman Mary Miller endorsed Tracy, saying, “Illinois deserves a senator who will put our citizens first, a duty that Dick Durbin abandoned long ago. Don Tracy will be a strong conservative leader in the United States Senate, and has my full endorsement as Republicans work to flip Illinois red this November.”
“Don Tracy is exactly the kind of leader Illinois needs in the United States Senate.,” added Congressman Mike Bost. “He understands the everyday struggles working families face because he’s experienced them himself. He will fight to lower the cost of living, restore public safety, and bring common sense leadership to Washington. I’m proud to endorse Don Tracy and look forward to working alongside him to deliver real, lasting results for the people of Illinois.”
Tracy said the endorsements reflect growing momentum and a shared commitment to championing common sense solutions over extreme agendas.
“I’m deeply honored to have the support of these Congressional leaders,” said Tracy. “They have fought tirelessly for Illinois families, farmers, manufacturers, and small businesses. Together, we are committed to lowering the cost of living, restore public safety, and ensure every one of Illinois’ 102 counties has a voice in Washington.”
