- I recognize that there is no government program more effective in raising a child to succeed and become a good citizen than a strong and loving father and mother. Consequently, I will fight for policies that support, and do not undermine, marriage and family. Prosperity, limited government, security, peace and innovative policy solutions. Children who grew up without a father are 5 times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime. 9 times more likely to drop out of school and 20 more times likely to end up in prison. Almost a quarter of American children grew up in a single parent household. It is time we get rid of policies that give incentives for single parent household but reward fruitful marriages with tax cuts
- LLINOIS HAS THE HIGHEST TOTAL STATE AND LOCAL TAX RATES ON A MEDIAN U.S. HOUSEHOLD, AT 15.1%. Out-of-control tax hikes, statewide and local, is one of the main cause for the large exodus from our state. The highest tax burden of this state has made it the least friendly state to start a business which explains why Illinois has the 3rd highest unemployment rate in America. Illinois has the worst pension crisis, worst bonds crisis making it the worst state for retirees, low income earners, worst for racial financial equality. We need to cut taxes, help give relief for small businesses, cut regulations, smaller government in order to boost jobs and grow the private sector.
- Our students and parents deserve better. We need to implement and expand the school choice policy across the state. It will benefit our students and parents in general and specifically those of low-income communities. Nearly 80% of Chicago Public Schools students cannot read at grade level. Just 15% met proficiency in math. Yet the Chicago Teachers Union and other union allies want to end the Invest in Kids tax credit scholarship program providing low-income students and families with other learning options. Crimes are getting more violent; police are making fewer arrests. We must crackdown on violent and repeated offenders who terrorize our communities. We need to promote public safety above all else in order for the city to thrive
