Classrooms and parents
Education
Fact-based, tried-and-true teaching, school choice, local control and real parental involvement, and an outspoken voice against ideology in the classroom.

A physician's view
Mandates
A board certified physician in two specialties, Bill speaks with clinical credibility against authoritarian, counterproductive mandates and lockdowns.

Elections
Ballot Integrity
Mandatory voter I.D., no non-U.S. citizens voting, and election authorities that follow statutory election law instead of changing rules close to an election.
Read his position
Springfield's budget
Spending and Taxes
Illinois has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. The only way to lower the tax burden is to stop chronic, out of control overspending.

Power and fuel
High Energy Costs
Keep energy abundant and affordable with domestic production from all sources, including the ethanol grown and made in central Illinois.
