September 7, 2015 Fellow Citizens, I am writing to announce my candidacy for re-election in the 70th Representative District of the Illinois General Assembly and to ask for your continued help and council. Climbing out of our state’s fiscal hole, redirecting our priorities, growing jobs and the economy, and rebuilding optimism in Illinois will take time and all our efforts. You can help by circulating a petition for me to be listed on the primary election ballot. The following pages contain circulating instructions and my petition. You can be of great assistance in reaching my goal of 1,500 signatures of registered voters. Like most Illinoisans, I am not satisfied with the direction our state is headed. The legislature, dominated by Speaker Madigan, doesn’t understand and wants to continue the failed policies of the past. Our state continues to overspent its available revenue, enact policies that discouraged business expansion and job creation, and destroy the dreams of our citizens—young and retired-- to the point too many move from the state. At a time our young people need more education and workers need skill retooling to compete for new jobs, the Speaker’s budget has cut funding for higher education and research for innovations that will help keep us competitive. As State Representative, I have been supporting legislation to control state spending and redirect our priorities. I ask for the opportunity to continue that fight and with your help I will continue to be your voice for honest, efficient government. I look forward to visiting with you and listening to your ideas and concerns. Feel welcome to call me on my cell phone 815-761-4058. Follow me on Facebook and Twitter. Visit my websites (citizensForPritchard.com or PritchardStateRep.com) for news and information.
