Campaign website

Schimpf's campaign website stated the following:

“

I WILL CLEAN UP CORRUPTION AND STOP GOVERNMENT OVERREACH.
I will trust individuals to make their own healthcare decisions. I am opposed to mandates and will stop government overreach by limiting the power of the Illinois administrative agencies. As a former member of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR), I have the experience to curtail the expansive power of the administrative state in Illinois.

Pritzker failed to stand up to corruption. He refused to demand corrupt Speaker Madigan step down after bribery, sexual harassment, and corruption scandals. Instead, he rubberstamped Madigan’s backroom deals and unbalanced budgets. And he’s hypocritically flaunted his own COVID-19 rules, traveling out of state, protesting with Chicago Black Lives Matter activists, and partying in Boystown while forcing the rest of us to stay home.

I will clean up corruption in Illinois. My entire life, I’ve stood up for what’s right, even when it was hard. As a prosecutor and a tough, independent leader, I will make politicians abide by the laws they create. I will bring transparency to our state government, because the truth is not afraid of transparency. And I will always do what’s right for you and your family, regardless of pressure from the political class.

Corruption in Illinois has become so ingrained in our system that it no longer shocks us. It’s routine. Accepted. Even commonplace.

When given the opportunity to stand up to corruption, Governor Pritzker failed. After corrupt Speaker Mike Madigan was revealed to have been successfully bribed by ComEd, Pritzker refused to demand he step down. As sexual harassment and corruption scandals broke in Madigan’s political operation during the 2016 gubernatorial primary, Pritzker was the only Democratic candidate to not condemn Madigan—because he needed Madigan’s help to get elected. And even before he became governor, Pritzker donated over $140,000 to Rod Blagojevich, then was caught by the FBI trying to make a backroom deal to be appointed Illinois Treasurer.

It should come as no surprise that Pritzker has refused to stand up to the entrenched special interests who have been destroying our state. He’s rubberstamped Madigan’s backroom deals and unbalanced budgets. He’s played political games with his COVID mitigation plan, giving special treatment to certain regions when pressured by his Democratic allies. And he’s hypocritically flaunted the COVID rules he’s put in place for the rest of us, traveling to his farm in Wisconsin during the stay-at-home order, protesting shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of Black Lives Matter activists during the peak of the pandemic, and partying in the streets of Boystown after Biden’s election.

We can fix what is wrong with our state, but only if we have a governor who will be independent, stand up to the special interests, and investigate corrupt politicians. I am that leader.

My entire life, I’ve stood up for what’s right, even when it was hard. I risked my life to protect my fellow Americans in the Navy and Marine Corps. I stood up to a brutal dictator and helped bring him to justice. I took on the Madigan machine the Republican Party wasn’t willing to challenge his daughter for Attorney General. I sacrificed my political career because my integrity was more important to me than a government title. I’ve called out my own conservative allies when they were wrong. I have even voted against some of my biggest campaign contributors, proving I can’t be bought.

As a prosecutor and a tough, independent leader, I will clean up corruption in Illinois and make you proud to say you’re from Illinois. I will make politicians abide by the laws they create. I will bring transparency to our state government, because the truth is not afraid of transparency. And I will always do what’s right for you and your family, regardless of pressure from the political class.

I am the only candidate in this race with a proven record of fighting against corruption. My opponents can all say they will clean up Illinois, but those are just words, not actions. I’ve been tested. We can’t afford to nominate another candidate for governor who tells us one thing then does another.

You trusted me to represent the United States in the Saddam Hussein trial and bring the brutal dictator to justice. You trusted me as a state senator to stand up to special interests and vote against reckless tax increases. Now, I’m asking you to trust me as your next governor to renew our great state of Illinois.

I WILL KEEP OUR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES SAFE.
If we want safe families and communities, we must have an Illinois Governor who unequivocally supports our law enforcement heroes. I will push for increased protection for our law enforcement, first responders, and corrections officers. I will see that they have the funding and training to safely accomplish their mission. I will also push for fundamental change to our property tax system in Illinois that threatens the financial security of families as they plan for retirement.

Pritzker failed to protect our veterans, families, and communities. It took him two weeks to take responsibility for a COVID-19 outbreak in the Illinois Veterans Home in LaSalle. As a result of his inaction, 33 veterans died. When violence was surging in Chicago and rioters and looters were spreading to the Chicago suburbs, Pritzker sided with Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and demonized our police, jeopardizing public safety.

I will keep our veterans, families, and communities safe. I was taught in the military that a true leader takes responsibility instead of blaming others—I will take responsibility. I will support our law enforcement community, because they represent what’s best about America when they put their lives on the line to keep us safe. And I will work with local leaders across the political spectrum to implement common sense solutions to crime in our neighborhoods.

A true leader takes responsibility. A failed leader dodges responsibility and constantly blames others. Governor Pritzker has failed Illinois.

In 2017, during a deadly Legionnaire’s disease outbreak at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy that killed 13 veterans under Governor Bruce Rauner, then-candidate J.B. Pritzker said, “When a governor does not take charge, people die.” Yet, tragically, when a COVID-19 outbreak ravaged the Illinois Veterans Home in LaSalle last November, Pritzker waited two weeks to take action. In the meantime, because the state-run facility went against CDC guidelines and had not been equipped with proper PPE, the virus infected 90% of residents. Ultimately 36 veterans died in the deadliest outbreak at a state-run facility in Illinois history. How many of these heroes who honorably served our country could have been spared if Governor Pritzker had immediately taken responsibility?

This would not have happened under my watch. I was taught in the military that if you are in charge, you take responsibility. As a hands-on governor, my staff would’ve known to call me the minute the outbreak occurred. As a disengaged and out-of-touch governor, Pritzker wasn’t even called when 7 veterans died in the LaSalle home on Veterans Day. The National Guard was sent to the home and Pritzker wasn’t even aware of it.

One of the most important obligations of our government leaders is to keep our families and communities safe. But Pritzker has failed at that responsibility, too. While ice bottles full of rocks were being hurled at police officers during the riots in Chicago, Pritzker sided with Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and the rioters and looters. As violence surged in the City of Chicago, with a 55% increase in homicides and shootings in 2020, Pritzker refused to call in the National Guard. And as that violence spread to the Chicago suburbs, Pritzker demonized our police and jeopardized public safety.

Illinoisans deserve better. Our veterans and families deserve better.

As your governor, I will take responsibility. I will make sure our communities are secure and hold myself personally accountable for improving the safety of our families. I will support our law enforcement community, because they represent what’s best about America when they put their lives on the line to keep us safe. And I will work with local leaders across the political spectrum to implement common sense solutions to crime in our neighborhoods.

Keeping people safe has been my lifelong calling. When I was in the military, I fought for protections for sexual assault victims and helped establish critical victims’ rights. In the Illinois legislature, I sponsored legislation to provide additional protections for our law enforcement and first responders. And as Minority Spokesman for the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I demanded our veterans be given proper medical treatment and held both Republican and Democratic administrations accountable for the avoidable tragedies in our veterans homes.

Vote for me so I can bring true leadership to the Illinois Governor’s Mansion.

I WILL LEAD THE FIGHT FOR PARENTS' RIGHTS IN ILLINOIS.
Parents, not the government, should determine their children's education, healthcare, and maturation into adulthood. As a state senator, I consistently voted for local control of education. In June of 2021, our campaign proposed an Illinois Parents Bill of Rights when others were not even considering the issue. We believe that curriculum transparency should be a requirement of for state education funding.

JB Pritzker failed to help overtaxed Illinoisans struggling to pay their bills. With unemployment reaching record levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 2 million Illinoisans have needed unemployment assistance. Yet when they tried to contact IDES for help, they had to endure months of frustrating busy signals, dropped calls, and delayed benefits. A year later, the average IDES callback time is still over a month.

I will grow our economy for working families. Illinois families are struggling under the highest combined tax burden in the country, especially our sky-high property taxes, and businesses and families are fleeing our state. I will re-ignite our economy by ending Pritzker’s failed tax-and-spend policies and supporting our small businesses, manufacturers, and family farmers.

I can relate to middle-income and working families.

Governor Pritzker was a billionaire before he was even born. While Pritzker was hiding his wealth overseas to avoid paying taxes, I was overseas leading the prosecution of Saddam Hussein. He is living in a completely different reality than the rest of us.

Meanwhile, I grew up in a middle-class family. Both of my parents were public school teachers. I worked hard in school to get into the US Naval Academy and spent 24 years serving in the military. Every success I’ve had has been earned, not inherited. I understand the challenges that middle-class Illinoisans face because I’ve faced them too. I understand what it’s like to wake up in the middle of the night wondering how you’re going to pay for your kids’ education.

Pritzker has proven how out-of-touch he is with the struggles of Illinois families by failing to solve the problems at the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES). With unemployment reaching record levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 2 million Illinoisans have needed unemployment assistance. Yet when they tried to contact IDES for help, they had to endure months of frustrating busy signals, dropped calls, and delayed benefits. After a year of nonstop excuses from Governor Pritzker, IDES’s callback times are actually getting worse, with the average callback time now over a month.

This is a complete, unacceptable failure by Governor Pritzker. With Illinoisans struggling through the pandemic, the least our governor could do is ensure unemployed Illinoisans receive the benefits they’re entitled to so they can afford to pay their rent or mortgage, put food on their tables, and send their kids to school.

When I’m elected, working families in Illinois will finally have an ally as their governor. I know our families are struggling under the highest combined tax burden in the country, especially our sky-high property taxes. When I served in Springfield, I voted against every tax increase that passed my desk, and as your governor I will put an end to the Democrats’ addiction to tax hikes on hardworking Illinoisans.

Instead, I will work to grow our economy. Illinois has the talent and resources to be the economic engine of the Midwest, but job creators are fleeing our state because Governor Pritzker’s taxes and regulations have closed Illinois for business. They’re not the only ones leaving Illinois, with a mass exodus of families leading to Illinois seeing the worst population loss in the country during the past decade. I will reignite our economy by ending Pritzker’s failed tax-and-spend policies and supporting our small businesses, manufacturers, and family farmers.

Our state still has tremendous potential, but dysfunctional government and failed leadership from the governor’s mansion is holding us back. As your next governor, I will provide the common sense leadership we desperately need to fix Illinois.

A NEW START FOR ILLINOIS
Paul & Carolyn's “A New Start for Illinois” plan calls for:

  • Ending predatory tax practices. Our proposed “No Tax On Tax” Constitutional Amendment that would prohibit governments from charging sales tax (or any percentage-based tax) on taxes and fees.
  • Passage of a constitutional amendment clarifying that parents, not the government, determine their children’s education and healthcare.
  • Make “Curriculum Transparency” a requirement for any receipt of state P-12 education funding.
  • More protection for law enforcement. Under our plan, law enforcement (including corrections officers) and first responders are a protected class under Illinois Hate Crimes Law.
  • Reducing administrative agency overreach. Emergency administrative regulations and any administrative regulations that increase or create fees and penalties require an affirmative 7-member approval vote from JCAR in order to become effective.
  • Fundamental property tax reform by protecting homeowners from assessment increases. Under our plan, assessors may only increase property value assessments upon legal transfer of the property or a change in the property’s zoning.

PARENTS BILL OF RIGHTS
Paul and Carolyn believe in the rights that are listed below for Illinois parents.

Illinois Parents’ Bill of Rights

Parents, not the government, have the authority and responsibility to raise their children to the best of their ability in accordance with their values. The following rights shall be given to Illinois parents who are raising minor children.

  • Parents, acting through locally elected school boards, have the right to control public schools in their respective districts. Local school boards will make curriculum, safety, and closure decisions. Children have the right to an education free from political indoctrination of any kind.
  • The ability of parents to educate their children through homeschooling or enrollment in private schools shall not be infringed by the state of Illinois. No official representing the state of Illinois shall have the authority to order the closure of private schools.
  • Parents with daughters shall have the right to see their daughters flourish by having a fair chance to compete in sporting activities where they are not at a biological disadvantage due to their sex.
  • The parent, not the state, has primary responsibility and authority for the physical and mental wellness of their children. Parents will have knowledge of and control over any medical procedures and medicine that a child may be provided. Furthermore, schools will not provide non-emergency medical treatment or medical referrals to a child without the consent of a parent or a court order.
  • A parent shall be present during (or consulted prior to) the custodial questioning of their child by law enforcement personnel.
  • Parents have the right to review video footage (including footage from body cameras) and social media content of their child that is in the possession of law enforcement personnel or school administrators.
  • Parents, not the state, will control the transition from childhood to adulthood of their children. Parents have the right to “opt out” of subjects taught in public and private schools in which they choose not to have their children participate.
  • Parents have the right to have the taxes for schools go to either the public school or the private school of their choice.[10]
 ”
—Paul Schimpf[11]

2016

During his campaign announcement, Schimpf said:

“ If you have had a successful career in the United States military, you bring two things to the table. First, you are able to work with people from across the political and social spectrum. Second, you are not afraid of a challenge and you are not afraid to be thrown into the proverbial deep end of the pool.

That being said, I’m not intimidated by the dysfunction that currently reigns in Springfield and I believe we can turn Illinois around.

We will not, however, turn our state around until we get our fiscal house in order. This will be my top priority as a state senator and it is the reason I am running for office.

Balancing our budget, however, cannot be accomplished without doing two things. First, we must revitalize our economy. We cannot solve our problems simply through raising taxes or cutting spending. We must grow our economy. I am willing to make the difficult choices necessary to bring fiscal stability to our state.

Second, we must also reform our failing pension system. I will lead by example in this area and refuse to accept a pension from the State of Illinois.

I will also insist that any pension reforms comply with the Illinois Constitution. This is consistent with my position from my campaign for Illinois Attorney General when I strongly opposed the pension fix because I believed it was blatantly unconstitutional. My position was validated by a 7-0 ruling by the Illinois Supreme Court.[12][10]

Scorecards

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
