Campaigns & Elections

Tomorrow night, the Scott County Republican Party will hold its 12th Annual Ronald Reagan Dinner at the Quad Cities Waterfront Convention Center in Bettendorf. 

Besides all the races for local, state, and federal office, Illinois residents will make another key decision this fall - whether Justice Tom Kilbride will serve another term on the state supreme court. He's up for retention, and needs to receive at least 60 per cent "yes" votes.

Although they're not getting much attention compared to president, senator, and congress, there are some other very important names on the November ballot. Iowa residents will decide whether 95 local, appellate, and supreme court judges will keep their jobs.

Iowa election officials will begin mailing out absentee ballots Monday, and it's the first day voters can go to their county auditor's offices or satellite locations to vote early in person. 

During the pandemic, Rock Island and Scott county officials will help voters stay safe during the November election. 

Tom Kilbride wants to continue serving on the Illinois Supreme Court. Wednesday the justice from Rock Island officially launched his campaign for retention ahead of the vote in November by residents of Illinois' third judicial district.
