Campaign themes
2014
On his official campaign website, Phillips said that he was running for office for the following reasons:[2]
- Excerpt: "Reggie Phillips is running for State Representative because he is a concerned citizen that is tired of watching career politicians carelessly diminish our future. His concerns include, but are not limited to: engaging the people that live within the 110th, having their voices heard in Springfield, ending the corruption and addressing the high cost of Illinois government. He will strive to make Illinois run like a business and be a more family friendly state. He wants to keep our families right here, together in Illinois. His pledge is to stop kicking the can down the road."
- Excerpt: "Phillips will be a Citizen Legislator, not a career politician. He pledges to taxpayers that he will do the following: support term limits (serve no more than 8 years), stand strong for repealing the 2011 67% income tax hike and against a future progressive income tax increase, and request a forensic audit (every dime, online, in real time). Also, when elected he will decline the lucrative General Assembly pension and healthcare benefits, which will save taxpayers thousands upon thousands of dollars."

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
