Two candidates at the top of the state ticket will be guests of honor when Aurora Republicans gather for the 35th annual Lincoln Reception on Thursday, May 13.

Sen. Bill Brady, the Illinois gubernatorial candidate, and his running mate, Jason Plummer, Lt. Gov. candidate, will speak at the event, which will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre, 8 E. Galena Blvd. in Aurora.

Brady, of Bloomington, has represented the 44th district in the Illinois Senate for eight years, and served as congressman for the 88th district from 1993 to 2000. This is his second run for the Governor’s post.

Plummer is vice-president of corporate development for R.P. Lumber, a family business with 43 locations in Illinois. The Edwardsville man also serves as an intelligence officer in the US Navy Reserves.

The event is organized by the Aurora Township Republicans.

Heavy hors d’ouevres will be served. Tickets are $50. Sponsorships are available. For more information, call Penny Falcon at 630-254-8291 or info@auroragop.com.

They say Republicans bleed red and, in Aurora, GOP supporters will prove its true at the "I give Republican Red" blood drive on June 19. Held in support of the RNC Coalitions effort to help the American Red Cross collect blood across the United States, the Aurora event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Una Voz, 22 E. Downer Place.

Candidates will be at the event, taking shifts to rally support for the drive, as well as to answer questions about their campaigns.
