Elroy Leach has been a hardworking, reliable leader in the Illinois conservative movement for a couple years. I've only met St James, Oliver, LeFleur casually and don't know them as well. But they seem to be straight shooters. The Black precinct captains in my suburban group consider themselves part of this group although they had to work and could not attend the press conference.

Leech is a very hard working official but unfortunately he is overwhemed by the sheer volume of black Democrats in majority-black areas. We didn't even get a good campaign when a black Republican went up against a white Democrat in a majority-black district. The blacks voted for the white liberal.
Perhaps the GOP should consider recruiting black conservatives in white-majority districts. If a district is perhaps 40% black, the black-voting block might initally vote against a black Republican (who would win with white support) but they might grow to like him after he's in office for several years and does alot for the community. This could lead to them spreading the word to their friends and family that a guy with an "R" next to his name is not that bad after all. On the national level, I think the only black Republicans have come from majority-white areas.
The other failure lies with the 25 years of "Republican" governors who did not do enough to promote qualified black candidates to positions of government. Certainly, a black Republican holding an appointed office on the statewide level would do a lot to improve the party's image. The ILGOP seems more interested in recruiting liberal Republicans than recruiting black Republicans. :-(

Excellent. Choice is a good thing. For years African Americans have been told who to vote for by their so-called self appointed leaders who are only concerned about themselves.

And the AARLC will be doing these activities "to help African-Americans learn the truth about the Republicans and encourage their participation in the Republican Party," Oliver said.Next, come to NY. Please.
The left needs to be exposed for the racist white eletists they really are. They keep the poor kids in failing schools so they can keep them chained. When they grow to maturity, they pack them into housing complexes offering them food in exchange for a democrat vote.

Outstanding! But I hope these folks know how to duck, because there's nothing that gets the vitriol going for demonrats better than conservative/Republican black people.
Stay low and keep moving!
