Craig Wilcox, the Republican candidate for the 32nd Senate District, believes a mileage tax would only harm the state and its residents.

Republican state Senate candidate Craig Wilcox is calling for quick action by lawmakers to correct the state’s pension crisis.

Illinois' fiscal situation is out of control and the state has increased taxes drastically over the past few years, but some politicians are saying enough is enough, including U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, who is seeking re-election.

Few political issues are as hotly contested as abortion, and though abortion has been a largely Democrat-supported issue for years, John Hosta of Spring Grove, who is running in the Democratic primary in the 14th Congressional District for the seat held by Rep. Randy Hultgren (R-IL), is staunchly opposed to it.

Ret. Col. Craig Wilcox prides himself on understanding the meaning of leadership and the weight that positions of authority bring with them, especially when it comes to his state and its people.

Six Republican legislators have sent a letter to Gov. Bruce Rauner to urge him to veto the state's sanctuary bill, SB31, according to a press release.
