“Illinois is never going to fix its problem by electing the same kind of woke, liberal politicians,” Rabine said. “Failed career politicians have declared a war on families.  Whether it's nonsense mandates, or debilitating tax increases or their horrific approach to crime, our state leaders are waging war on our families, and it is costing us dearly.”

Rabine said it is not the role of government to make healthcare decisions for individuals and families and to intrude in our lives as is happening far too frequently now.

“The role of government is to protect us from violent criminals and to keep our communities safe,” Rabine said. “We are not going to mandate our way back to prosperity. We need somebody who's going to stand up to the political elites and insiders and someone who isn't afraid of them. That's why I'm running.”

Rabine has built successful businesses, created thousands of jobs for Illinois families, and is the outsider Illinois needs to turn the state around.

“This state needs some hard truths,” Rabine said. “In our company, we don’t lie about problems or pretend they don’t exist. We confront problems and we solve them.  That is what I will do as Governor. We need to end the war on families, end Illinois ranking last place in nearly every meaningful metric for sound governance. We need an outsider and someone who has helped build, protect, and empower families to end those awful policies. I'm working around the clock to earn your support and take this fight to the politicians who have sabotaged us for far too long.”
