Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will be in Peoria on Friday to deliver a speech at the annual Peoria-Tazewell County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner at the Peoria Civic Center.
DeSantis' appearance in Peoria has been lauded by Peoria Republican Congressman Darin LaHood, who called DeSantis one of the "preeminent voices in fighting back against the radical left." An official listing for the event on the Tazewell County GOP's website says DeSantis will speak on his "successful Florida blueprint" for the Republican Party in Illinois to fight against Illinois Democrats' "Marxist agenda."
Where? How to get tickets?
DeSantis will be the keynote speaker of the Lincoln Day Dinner on Friday night at the Peoria Civic Center. A VIP-only event begins at 4:30 p.m. at the Civic Center, but as of Wednesday that event was sold out.
A social hour begins at 5:30 p.m., and the main dinner in the ballroom begins at 6:30 p.m. Those events are also sold out.
Anyone hoping to still attend can put themselves on a waiting list by emailing Tazewell County GOP Chairman Jim Rule at chairman@tazewellgop.org.
Is Ron DeSantis running for president?
DeSantis has been craftily dancing around answering questions about a possible 2024 presidential run for over a year. He has neither confirmed nor denied his interest in running.
On May 5, DeSantis said in a news conference he would decide "relatively soon" whether he would run in 2024.
DeSantis cut ties with his state political action committee, Friends of Ron DeSantis, last week in a move that pundits believe means he will rebrand the PAC for a nationwide run, according to Politico. Campaign finance reports show the PAC as having $86 million on hand, which could be shifted to a super PAC, if DeSantis decides to run for president, according to Politico.

More grist for the “he’s not running” mill.
Ilinois tonight, Iowa tomorrow, and Nevada after that.
“Cassie Lucchesi, the president of Peoria Pride, said she expects around 100 people to participate in what they’re calling a “peaceful show of love and solidarity” to protest legislation DeSantis has passed in Florida they believe unduly targets the LGBTQ community, minorities and abortion rights.
She forgot the word “mostly” in front of “peaceful”.
"Marxism" is a red herring. It's a tool and a distraction to shift attention from the corporate globalists.
If you think the changes we're seeing are being driven my smelly hippies in Che t-shirts you're a fool. It's being driven by the Bill Gates, Zuckerbergs, Blackrock and the whole crew of villains.
New flash - these people aren't Marxists.
Everytime I hear that term, or Hannity blabbing about the "radical socialist agenda" I feel like I'm being raped. This is a a distraction to shift attention from what is really happening.
I can promise you that a guest on one of these conservative programs, Hannity, Levin or whatever, could yap about "socialism" all day long. But if that person said "Corporate Globalist Agenda" you never see the guy on TV again.
Peoria is the home of 3rd year freshmen in HS. There was no hope for them to get legitimate diplomas. No brains but plenty of piss n’ vinegar testosterone. What does that do for the women that don’t want them. More importantly what about the women that do want them?
