THE DIVIDE NEW ILLINOIS SEES
Not a Party Divide.
A Regional Divide.
New Illinois believes the state’s rural, small-town, suburban, and
major urban communities often face different economic and governing
needs. The organization’s case is about representation—not political party.
“Different communities deserve a meaningful voice in the
decisions that shape their future.”

Why Not Simply
Reform Illinois?
New Illinois believes the differences between Illinois’ regions are
structural—not temporary—and that a state split offers a more
lasting path than reform alone.
