Government needs to get out of the way

When my family came to this country 40 years ago, Illinois was considered one of the best states to achieve the American dream. For a long time, it was. But today, business owners like myself struggle because of Illinois' outrageous taxes and anti-business climate.

We need to get people in Springfield who are committed to helping small business owners by cutting taxes and making Illinois a great state to do business in once again. I'm voting for Rafael Rivadeneira because he's outlined specific ways that he can do just this.

While other candidates look at ways to raise taxes to raise revenue, Rafael understands that the best way to get our state out of its financial mess is by the government getting out of the way so businesses can create new jobs and boost profits. His solutions are a win-win for the state and its people.
