Prescott Paulin for IL State Rep

Want better gas prices at the pump? Elect better representation.

Voting is today. The choice is yours alone! Go vote! Our Republican party is ready to fix the broken policies that put us here in the first place, and all of our neighbors are welcome to benefit from the outcome.

Text me anytime: 217-NO-TO-SUE

Whatever the outcome is today, I just want to thank my opponent and her family for being such classy neighbors throughout this peaceful Democratic process.

It has been an honor to share a stage with her, to debate her without untoward attacks, and to overall appreciate that we have both been professional and respectful of one another and our families.

She is worthy opponent to have encountered, and I look forward to working with her in our common goal starting tomorrow, however our neighbors decide we should proceed.

As my mother reminded me recently:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

Thank you, Central Illinois, for the opportunity to be in this arena, to be in lock step as our Republican Party works together to reclaim the 96th District from our mutual adversary - who has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from Mike Madigan related committees. The blinders are off now that he's been indicted by the FBI.

We start confronting the real problem tomorrow by shifting our focus to help Sue Scherer retire for the second time tomorrow. Which still means, yes, Sue will get to keep your taxpayer dollars flowing into her household until the day she retires permanently.

Please go vote today! Vote for progress and pull a Republican ticket if you're sick of seeing your paycheck dwindle while gas and grocery prices rise! Let's help more producers and less moochers by fixing our broken system in Springfield. 🙏

And please say a prayer for our neighbors, including my grade school teacher, Mrs. Corey, who is experiencing some health issues. Lord knows her benefits and pension could be better. Let's fight for returning honor and decency to our community. ❤️ I'm with you 100% Central Illinois!!

Huge news! HALF of Illinois' Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) claims paid through IDES were STOLEN. Over $1.8 billion of taxpayer dollars were overpaid due to solvable ID theft issues and other fraud, according to a new audit released June 16th.

I am currently the ONLY candidate in the 96th District with the large scale policy and financial experience (both in government and business) necessary to dig in and help resolve this systemic issue. I also have the relevant contacts and skill set needed to implement technology that will combat identity theft, which other states have already legislated and implemented.

Voting is tomorrow. June 28th.

Please get the word out and choose your future wisely. Social issues will not fix our budget, which is spiraling rapidly out of control and forcing our businesses out of state. We must have fiscal responsibility for Illinois to succeed in the future, and we must incentivize more producers than moochers.

Imagine receiving this letter before you depart toward enemy lines. There was no texting, no emailing, no TikTok, no SnapChat -- no way to adequately call home or let your friends know what you were doing. There was only your deepest commitment to your mission, and to the men on your left and right. We cannot fully know the burden carried in these moments, but we can do everything in our power to appreciate the men who answered the call to defend our great nation and her allies. My prayers today are with everyone who may know the meaning of service and sacrifice, even if from a distance as a relative of our men and women who accept a call of duty in harms way. God bless you all.

I am deeply grateful for all of our brave warfighters that risked their lives on D-Day, today in 1944, to protect and defend the freedom we so cherish. Both of my grandpas served in World War II and I cannot fully imagine the sacrifices made by their generation, fighting a war with limited resources and no creature comforts, yet keeping the spirit of mind to risk everything so that we might have an opportunity at a brighter future. I am so grateful for their commitment to protecting freedom and liberty, which we can all aspire to honor in the rest of our lives.
