The platform · Illinois House, 87th District
Priorities for the 87th District
Seven priorities, taken from Bill Hauter’s own published Goals page. Read the one closest to your kitchen table, or start at the top and work down.
Lead plank · Rights and the outdoors
Second Amendment
“Hunting and self-defense are important to the people of the 87th district.”
Hunting and self-defense matter in the 87th. Bill is a proud member of the Illinois State Rifle Association and wants the outdated FOID card gone.

The rest of the platform
Six more planks, each one a page
Farms and agribusiness
Agriculture
Agriculture is the district's number one industry. Bill backs small family farmers and agribusinesses like Precision Planting, and shares farmers' concerns on eminent domain.
Schools and families
Education
Fact-based, tried-and-true teaching, school choice, local control and real parental involvement, and an outspoken voice against ideology in the classroom.
Medicine and liberty
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.
The state 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.
In Bill’s words
“Illinois has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.”
Seven priorities, one representative who has put his positions in writing. If that sounds like the representative you want, there are two ways to help.
