Issues
Campaign themes
2012
Gabor's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Governor Quinn's 67% tax increase
- Excerpt: "This tax increase must be repealed immediately."
- Corporate tax rates
- Excerpt: "We must guarantee that businesses will have lower taxes in Illinois than in all of our neighboring states."
- Budget deficits
- Excerpt: "I believe that we should start back at square one. Instead of arguing over what percentage to cut and where, we should start at a budget of zero and have every state department justify its budget to the General Assembly."
- Unemployment and Worker's Compensation Rates
- Excerpt: "We must lower the contribution rates that businesses must pay in order to attract businesses back to our State."
- General Assembly Scholarships
- Excerpt: "While this program was started with good intentions, it has become a major source of corruption as members of the General Assembly award these scholarships to politically connected individuals."
- School Vouchers
- Excerpt: "Every parent in the state should have the ability to choose where their children go to school. The only way to accomplish this is with the use of vouchers."
- Concealed Carry
- Excerpt: "There is no reason not to pass a concealed carry law, and if elected I will work hard to accomplish that."
- Gerrymandering
- Excerpt: "It is time that legislative districts be drawn by a computer with no regard for how a map will affect the politicians."
