Let's put aside the politics and trust the people. Let's embrace the unique opportunity we all have; take the heat and make the hard and difficult decisions, knowing that we're doing it to make things better for the people of Illinois.

In politics, you never know who's going to die, retire, or - in Illinois - get indicted.

Like most other states, Illinois has little regulation of the economic interests of legislators and relies on public disclosure to keep the lawmaking honest.

Families in which nothing is ever discussed usually have a lot not to discuss.

I have my strong views and opinions. I really want to transform Illinois government because this state is failing the taxpayers and the children.

We Liberal Democrats don't believe we should use the tax structure to champion just one type of family.

Any person who says their family is perfectly functional is lying.

The biggest challenge I have with Washingtonians is they think Illinois is exclusively a Democratic state.

You shouldn't have political action committees.

The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
