Jason Proctor completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Proctor's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
In Illinois we have a state government that is bloated, broken & broke. We keep taxing our way into higher spending rather than looking at ways to do more with less. In Illinois, under our current governor, our budget has increased nearly $13 billion (a 32% increase) since 2019 but, during that time, has anything improved? Has there been a reduction in crime? Has our public education system gotten better? How about those property, income, sales or gas taxes?
Here we are, in 2024, more divided at any other time in my life and living in a state that is on the brink of a financial collapse. WE DESERVE BETTER!- No new taxes without SIGNIFICANT reforms Illinois has some of the highest property, sales & use and income taxes in the country. Our state has nearly 7,000 taxable government units and an unfunded pension liability approaching $150 billion. At the same time, we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country and we are losing tax-paying citizens and corporations at an alarming rate. This is a recipe for a financial disaster of epic proportions.
- Our education system is failing our children Today, in Illinois, nearly one-thrid of our children can’t read and more than 25% of them are not proficient in math at their grade level. In Chicago Public Schools, the problem is MUCH worse - despite spending per student increasing 56% from 2010-2021. In fact, CPS spends the 2nd most in the US per student among the big US school districts – that amount takes into account total federal, state & local education spending, including pension costs.
- Support our police in keeping us safe & hold prosecutors accountable to enforce the laws on the books Our police and other first responders put their lives on the line everyday to keep us safe. They deserve not only the best training & tools to do their job but they also deserve our support. Currently, in Chicago, under the direction of Mayor Lightfoot and now Mayor Johnson, our officers are limited on what and how they can do their job – and the criminals know it. As a result, crime is up and we are losing officers from the ranks. Add to that, CPD is not able to recruit new officers at the numbers that are necessary for even a minimum level of public safety.
I specialize in Cyber Resilience and that was the name of a recent cyber attack.
