Campaign website

Fulcher's campaign website stated the following:

The key issues of focus in this campaign are:

• Identifying ways to support the growth of the business community to relieve pressure on residential homeowners for property tax relief.   
• Protecting the healthcare of our community and ensuring medical coverage for our citizens (including Medicaid recipients).  
• Ensuring increased support for our seniors, starting with property tax relief.  
• Encouraging and supporting cooperation between school districts to work collaboratively and reduce the tax burden on homeowners.  
• Addressing the insufficient distribution of resources and wealth among the communities in Cook County.  
• Actively address the unofficial redlining of resources that is taking place in the southern suburbs of Cook County.
