Lower Taxes

Illinois is one of the highest taxed states in the nation. Why? Corruption. Gabby will stand with taxpayers, not special interests, to support common sense practices. We cannot continue to spend more money than the state budget allows. Unbalanced budgets, reckless spending, and tax increases promote inflation and decrease the Illinois dollar. In order for Illinois to remain competitive to neighboring states, we must hold the line on tax increases. 

Restore Accountability

Springfield sees too many politicians who serve special interests. Our state needs campaign finance reform and ethics reform, and Gabby will champion those platforms. Additionally, there should be a mandatory 3 day rule for bill reading so that elected officials are not voting on bills they just received at 3 am.

Protecting Our Communities

Gabriella is a strong supporter of first responders. She believes that equipping officers with the skills, training, and equipment they need to be successful will ensure our local communities are safe, without handing down unfunded mandates from Springfield. Gabby will work with local police departments to address their needs and make sure they operate at a fully funded level.

Women’s Rights

Politicians need to stop using abortion as a political weapon and start having real conversations to find common ground. That is why I support putting the issue on the ballot, which lets voters decide directly.

My opponent supports unrestricted abortion for any reason at any age, without parental notification. The vast majority of voters don’t agree. Instead they support parental notification to combat sex crimes and crack down on sex trafficking.  We shouldn’t just default to extremism. Let the people decide.

I know firsthand the impact pregnancy can have on mental health. Postpartum depression can be incredibly difficult, and we need to ensure women have the maternal healthcare they need, including mental health support during and after pregnancy. Women’s health is about comprehensive care that empowers women to make informed decisions about their health and families.

I find it offensive that those in charge claim to speak for us, reducing our concerns to just one issue. I care about high gas prices, affordable and healthy food for my family, and equal access to quality education.

It’s time to stop the political posturing and let the people decide what’s best.

Education

Education is the backbone to success. Gabby believes in educational opportunities that fits the needs of families. Gabby believes in an ‘all of the above’ approach to education which includes funded public schools, the ability to choose private schools, homeschooling, and vocational programs. She wants to extend and expand the Invest in Kids act not only for private schools, but to ensure kids can be exposed to the trades through apprenticeship programs.
