Tamer Abouzeid completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Abouzeid's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Illinois the the third most corrupt state in the country; Chicago is the most corrupt city in the country. We must clean house of both Republicans and Democrats taking advantage of this culture of corruption.
- Criminal justice reform is essential to make us a better democratic society. In addition, we must not isolate the effects of race; we must account for the role race plays in everything, from the environment to housing to jobs. We cannot fear saying: race is a big factor in everything our country does.
- We must fix policing in our state and no solutions are off limits. We must establish community control of the police. We must treat the US Constitution as the floor that it is an pass more protections for civil liberties. And we must decrease the powers of armed police forces and make them focus on *serious and violent* crimes only, not minor issues like possession and minor traffic violations.
