CANDIDATE FOR THE OFFICE OF:

NOVEMBER 2, 2010 ELECTION:
2010 ILLINOIS GENERAL ELECTION
CANDIDATE STATEMENT
It is not about increasing taxes on the people and businesses in Illinois, it is about increasing the tax base - providing an environment where more businesses can make it, and the hardworking people of Illinois can find quality jobs to support their families.
Our struggles in Illinois are not due to a lack of talent or resources, they are due to a lack of leadership in Springfield.
