 This is the itinerary for Bruce Rauners 2017 election. The itinerary displays the

county, city, and time each event will take place. The specific counties were chosen

based on previous election results. According to the 2006 and 2010 election results,

there were more counties that voted Republican in 2010 than 2006. Most of the

counties that were chosen for this years election were the ones that switched to

Republican in the 2010 election. We want to make sure that those counties continue as

Republican counties because every country counts considering Illinois always tends to

be a Democratic state. For example, our first stop will be in Lake County. This county

voted Democratic in 2006 and then Republican in 2010. We will be doing a speech

here in hopes to continue the support. Counties that will be visited for the same

particular reason will be: Hamilton, Henderson, Calhoun, Fulton, Knox, Putnam, and

Lasalle. These counties can also be considered swing counties. Since these counties

have had changes with their winning parties the past elections, their party this election

is also unpredictable. The Jackson county is the unique one that is being visited. In the

2006 election, the Republican party won it. However, in the 2010 election, it was lost.

We are visiting it in hopes to win back the votes because it will be crucial in the

election. Lastly, of course, we are visiting Chicago in Cook County. Chicago has

always been known to win the Democratic vote. Most candidates win because of this

county. However, it is important for us to hit this location because we can potentially

lower the votes that go towards the opposing party. It is also one of the most populous

locations in Illinois and we want to promote Bruce as much as possible. The citys

Democratic reputation will not scare us, it will be a motivator to maybe change history.

It will be the last place to promote our campaign. In addition, the city that was chosen
for each county is where the county seat is located. Doing the speeches at the county

seats makes the campaign more effective. We hope that these cities will help spread

Bruces compromises and influence others to stand with him. Moreover, we have

spread our visitations throughout the months between August and November. We have

attempted to schedule three speeches each month. One speech is planned within the

first week of the month, a second in the middle, and a third in the last week of the

month. It is important to spread the dates and to fit as many as possible to have the

best outcome. We want to be consistent and hope to have enough opportunities to

portray Bruces commitments. There is also a variation in times the speeches will be

occurring. The majority of them will be happening in the evening, 7:00 P.M. We found

this time to be when we can get the most viewers. Most citizens are off of work at this

time. A majority of families are having dinner at this time and watching TV. However,

we are also mindful of the different lifestyles. We made sure to fit in other times. We

were able to fit in a few morning and afternoon speeches for citizens that work at night.

We do not want to miss any opportunities to expose viewers with Bruces campaign.

We want everyone to vote because each and every one counts. The time is an

important factor of this campaign because it determines who is all targeted. All of the

campaign locations will be taking place in different buildings and locations. When

accessible, they will take place at a school. Some will also take place at the citys hall.

Some will also be outside. We are excited for the trip this itinerary will take us on. We

are confident that this journey will take us to victory.
