Our educational system is broken. Children need to be taught how to be successful, independent, free thinkers when they complete their schooling. Politics has no place in our education system.
Taxes are a disaster in Illinois. We need to abolish the income tax and reduce real estate taxes so middle class Illinoisans can once again enjoy a prosperous life in Illinois.
Our educational system is broken and needs an overhaul. Form 2020-today we've seen the largest influx in home schooling due to the school system's inability to focus on teaching versus supporting tyrannical government overreach. Politics and detrimental public policy has no place in our schools. Limit those things from ever happening again, while also improving our existing curriculum to incorporate real-world problem solving, not identity politics.
Healthcare is unaffordable for most Illinoisans due to price gouging from service providers, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies. There needs to be limits on profit margins from these predatory organizations.
Taxes are out of hand in Illinois, plain and simple. We get taxed on everything we do, and then get taxed again. We need to completely get rid of some of these taxes and reduce the rest.
In Illinois, small business owners feel that they are the enemy and have no support from the state. There needs to be unwavering support and resources provided to our small business owner community. There also should be incentives for small businesses to set up shop here in this state, not punitive fees and unjustified regulation/mandates.
My main priorities: -Education/Children -Healthcare -Tax reform
-Limiting government overreach
