Endorsement: Rodriguez for Illinois House District 83

In House District 83, Democratic incumbent Matt Hanson, a former Kane County Board member from Montgomery, is running for his third term against Republican Jesse Rodriguez, a small-business owner from Aurora. Hanson's performance in Springfield has been adequate but not distinguished. Rodriguez got into the race out of his frustrations with Springfield's approach to small business. His campaign is centered on improving the business climate and restraining government overreach. He has our endorsement.
