Why are you running and why should people vote for you? Illinois is broken . Without strong,principled leadership, Southern Illinois is in danger of losing our values, our jobs and our future. Families are leaving to find better opportunities elsewhere. The corrupt environment in Springfield exists to benefit special interests and Chicago political insiders. I want to be a strong voice for Southern Illinois and demand the meaningful ethics reform our citizens deserve. Only then can we stop the skyrocketing property taxes that are crippling our communities.

What would your goals be, if elected? Support powerful ethics reform including term limits and redistricting. Reject tax increases including the Democrats falsely named “Fair Tax.” Stop the tax and spend policies and anti business regulations that are crippling our economy and keeping Southern Illinois from attracting the quality jobs and investments we need. Be a firewall against any legislation that erodes our second amendment rights. Be an advocate for the unborn and seek legislation that will end taxpayer funded abortions.

What issues are most pressing for your constituency? Jobs and property tax relief
