Issues
Campaign themes

- Jobs
- Excerpt: "It’s no secret that unemployment rates in Illinois and across the country have skyrocketed. A little over 10% of the State’s population is out of work, struggling to find a meaningful source of income in order to provide for their families. High unemployment means fewer dollars re-invested in our economy."
- Budget & Tax RELIEF
- Excerpt: "The State is in dire need of systemic tax reform that provides relief to property taxpayers, cuts wasteful government spending, and ensure timely payments to schools and health providers."
- Health Care
- Excerpt: "The State is in dire need of systemic tax reform that provides relief to property taxpayers, cuts wasteful government spending, and ensure timely payments to schools and health providers."
- Ethics & Pension REFORM
- Excerpt: "Corruption in Illinois has caused citizens to lose faith in its government and made the State a national laughingstock. During freshman Senator Noland's first term, he developed a reputation as one of the leading voices for ethics reform."
- Energy & Recycling
- Excerpt: "Corruption in Illinois has caused citizens to lose faith in its government and made the State a national laughingstock. During freshman Senator Noland's first term, he developed a reputation as one of the leading voices for ethics reform."
