Freedom Caucus Touts Higgins Primary Win as Grassroots Victory in 94th District (Springfield, IL) – The Illinois Freedom Caucus is celebrating Republican Josh Higgins’ victory in the 94th House District primary, calling it a sign of growing grassroots support for conservative policies across the state.
Higgins, who was endorsed by the caucus and has pledged to join the group if elected, secured a decisive win in Tuesday’s Republican primary. The caucus said the outcome reflects voter demand for candidates who align closely with core conservative principles.
In a statement, the Illinois Freedom Caucus said Higgins’ victory shows that Republican voters are prioritizing issues such as lower taxes, fiscal responsibility and parental rights.
“The lesson from this race is simple — Republican Party voters care about the values of the Republican Party,” the group said. “They want leaders who will stand up for lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, parental rights, and against trans ideology.”
The caucus also framed the result as a broader message to party leadership, urging Republicans to refocus on what it described as foundational priorities, including supporting taxpayers and working families.
Higgins’ win comes as Republicans across Illinois look ahead to the November general election, where the party hopes to build momentum in legislative races.
The Illinois Freedom Caucus said it plans to continue backing conservative candidates in the months ahead as it works to expand its influence in Springfield.
