Issue Position: Pro Business

Issue Position

As a small business owner in the manufacturing business for 20 years, I understand the challenges facing Illinois employers.

I am responsible for the livelihood of more than 15 families. During tough times when payroll must be met, I am the first one to do without. I understand how important my employees are to my success. I recently bought a business and moved it to Illinois from Missouri. I did this because I am committed to putting people back to work in Illinois.

As citizens of Illinois, as investors, as risk-takers, we deserve to be able to compete with neighboring states. We deserve to be able to compete on a level playing field with fair business taxes, fees and regulations. We must rebuild our state economy and restore competitiveness with policies that expand economic freedom and put more people back to work.
