The Democrat machine is in full panic mode, and they're doing something that should terrify every conservative in America: they're meddling in Republican primaries to stop candidates they can't control.

Jessica Breugelmans, a conservative Republican running for Congress in Illinois, has the establishment so spooked that Democrat unions are pouring thousands of dollars into the GOP primary to stop her. These are the same powerful unions that bankrolled J.B. Pritzker, Brandon Johnson, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris – now they're picking Republican candidates. Let that sink in, Patriots.

According to an explosive new report from Next News Network, two unions with a documented history of supporting far-left Democrats are backing Breugelmans' primary opponent, Danielle Penman. These unions supported Chicago's billion-dollar bailout and the gas tax hikes that have driven families and businesses out of Illinois. Now they want to control both sides of the political aisle.

A Trojan Horse with a Democrat Voting Record

Here's what makes this even more outrageous: Penman has a documented record of voting in Democratic primaries. She refused to vote for President Trump and instead chose Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Now she's running as a Republican with union backing from the very political machine that has wrecked Illinois.

This isn't a Republican insurgent – this is a Trojan horse designed to keep the machine in total control of both parties.

The Real Conservative in the Race

The contrast couldn't be more clear. Breugelmans is a small business owner, educator, and lifelong Illinois resident who has lived in her district since she was nine years old. She's watched towns hollow out, taxes explode, and families struggle just to stay where they grew up.

She believes classrooms should focus on reading, writing, and math – not lowering standards to appease political activists. She stands with law enforcement and believes parents, not bureaucrats, should make decisions for their children. That combination terrifies the establishment because they simply cannot control her.

This isn't the first time they've targeted her. In 2019, union bosses spent more money than ever before to stop her school board campaign – not to fight nine candidates, but to stop one: Jessica.

With just days left until February 1st, Breugelmans needs to raise $60,000 to fully fund her people-powered campaign. The machine is moving because it knows it's losing control. The question is: will Republicans let Democrat unions pick their candidates, or will we fight back?

Been watching politics for 40 years and this is the most blatant interference I've ever seen. The establishment is panicking because real conservatives are winning.

This is exactly what we've been warning about! The swamp creatures will stop at nothing to destroy true conservatives who actually fight for our values.

Absolutely right. They're terrified of anyone who can't be bought or controlled.

I've been saying this for years - follow the money! These union bosses know exactly which Republicans will cave on their demands. We need fighters, not deal-makers.

As a union member myself, I'm disgusted that my dues are being used this way without my consent.

DISGUSTING but not surprising! The Democrats know they can work with weak Republicans better than principled conservatives.

Exactly - they'd rather have a controllable RINO than face a real constitutional conservative in the general.

Can someone explain how this is even legal? Shouldn't there be restrictions on cross-party funding in primaries?

SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE! Voters deserve to know who's really funding these campaigns.

This is why we can't trust the establishment anymore. They'll take money from anyone to maintain their power.

Saw this same playbook in my state last cycle. Union money flooded in during the final weeks to prop up the establishment RINO. We need to get this information out to every voter before it's too late.
