Standing room only crowd celebrates St Patrick’s Day with Scott Kaspar

Gubernatorial Candidates Darren Bailey and Gary Rabine join Scott Kaspar, the leading Republican candidate for the GOP Party nomination in the new 6th Congressional District, at St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser

Leading Republican candidate for Congress in the 6th District Scott Kaspar hosted a family-friendly fundraiser dinner on Sunday, March 13, 2022, following the South Side Irish Parade, which Kaspar attended. 

Taking place at Square Celt Ale House in Orland Park, Kaspar’s fundraiser dinner was a sell-out crowd, with several notable special guests. 

Republican Gubernatorial candidates Gary Rabine and Darren Bailey were in attendance, and both spoke about their vision for Illinois as well as their support for Kaspar.

Several other candidates were in attendance, including Robbins Police Chief David Sheppard, who is running for Illinois House District 36, and David Shestokas, who is running for Illinois Attorney General.  Orland Township Committeeman Elizabeth “Liz” Doody Gorman, who is running for Cook County Commissioner, District 17, also was in attendance and delivered strong remarks both in favor of Kaspar as well as her upstanding track record as a Cook County Commissioner and through her roles leading Illinois state agencies such as the Illinois Tollway.
