Governor candidate focused on property taxes

I am writing to express my strong support for Ted Dabrowski, a Republican candidate for governor who is committed to addressing one of the most pressing issues facing Illinois families: property taxes.

Illinois has the highest property taxes in the country and for families like mine, that burden is real and growing. Rising costs make it harder each year to manage household expenses, save for the future, or invest in our communities. Ted understands this reality and has made reducing property taxes a central priority. His goal is simple and necessary—help families keep more of their hard-earned money.

Ted also recognizes that affordability and economic growth go hand in hand. Fiscal responsibility creates an environment where small businesses can succeed, jobs can grow and communities can thrive. Supporting a fiscally conservative candidate means supporting the small business owners who form the backbone of our local economy.

What truly sets Ted apart is his background. As a respected conservative public policy analyst and former vice president of the Illinois Policy Institute and president of Wirepoints, he brings experience, data-driven thinking and accountability to the table. He is not a career politician, but an outsider who understands budgets, efficiency and the value of every taxpayer dollar.

At a time when Illinois needs practical leadership and real solutions, Ted Dabrowski offers a clear path forward—one rooted in fiscal discipline, affordability and economic growth. I encourage voters to support Ted in the Republican Primary on March 17, 2026, because Illinois can—and must—do better.
