Dinora Ruiz completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Ruiz's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Pension- The looming pension crisis needs to be addressed. Government employees stacking pensions does not help the pension system. Addressing this would alleviate pressure off of the private sector. That is why I will be declining a pension as State Representative of the 86th district of Illinois.
- Taxes- Need I say more? People are leaving by the thousands to more tax friendly states. Cutting unnecessary spending, addressing our pension crisis and paying off debt is legislation I will advocate for. If it's not good for individuals to be in debt, it's not good for our state.
- Roads and Bridges- What needs to be said? If you've ever driven down any roads or bridges in Illinois’ 86th distinct you would know. Advocating for the funds, communicating with the community leaders and supporting the workforce to get the job done will propel our community to growth.
Lowering taxes- Proper funding for what the state Illinois is obligated to fund so counties don't need to compensate by raising taxes

Voting and participating in all levels of legislature. (attending and participating in committee meetings, writing bills, attending meeting etc.)
Politicians serve their communities well and go above and beyond for their constituents and beyond.
Raise the standard for what a public servant could do for the community.
I remember my mom calling myself and my sister down to watch the live footage from New York.
To achieve a goal, a leader must take responsibility for themselves first, then the team. Leaders effectively communicate and set the standard to achieve the mission.
Paying off debt
