Dennis Grundler

A prominent McLean County Republican said he thinks Democrats took control of the county board because, right now, they're better at the process of politics than the Central Illinois GOP.

Dennis Grundler said he's believes there's too much division within the Republican party in McLean County as some have strayed from fiscal conservatism.

Two newcomers won Republican primary races for McLean County Board on Tuesday in districts that cover the southern half of the county.

Dennis Grundler says he wants to encourage early voting to improve his party's chances of winning future elections.
