Issue Position: Where I Stand on the Issues

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2014
Issues: Business and Consumers Religion Entitlements and the Safety Net Government Operations Guns

Overview. As your Attorney General I will focus on three areas.

First, I will focus protecting individual freedoms such religious conscience rights, Second Amendment guarantees, and ensuring that Illinois meets its legal pension obligations.

Second, I will prioritize anti-corruption efforts. Only a true political outsider can effectively fight corruption in our state. Our current Attorney General has an inherent conflict of interest, in that her father is the most powerful Democrat in the state.

Lastly, I plan on transforming the Attorney General's office into a watchdog for limiting the size and scope of state government. Our bloated government is strangling the growth of small businesses within Illinois. If we are ever going to solve our budget crisis, we must scale back government regulation to spur economic growth in Illinois.
