I want to do something that I'm proud of and that I can look back on with pride of accomplishment.

I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything.

Voters want conflicting things. They want a lot of government spending, but they don't want higher taxes.

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

Those who want low taxes and healthy job creation know that an unnecessary dollar going to these unions is a dollar that cannot reduce the tax burden on homeowners, small businesses, and job creators.

I can squat 405. I'm proud of that - that's one of my favorites.
