| Info | I want to take a minute of your time to introduce myself. My name is Dan Duffy and I am a Republican running for the 26th District of the Illinois Senate.
I grew up on the south side of Chicago, the youngest of eleven children. I went to school at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois and moved to the northwest suburbs after graduation. It was here that I started a computer consulting company out of my apartment with my business partner and grew it into a bustling company now providing jobs to over 35 employees.
Through my experience as a small business owner I learned about issues such as spiraling health care costs, the struggle to find highly skilled technical workers, and the burden of being hit at every turn with another business tax. I reached out to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) to find out how I could do more to fix these problems. Shortly thereafter I started serving on the Illinois NFIB Leadership Council and took on the role as Chairman of the Lake and Cook County Area Action Council for independent businesses.
In 1999 I began to work closely with my mentor, Speaker Denny Hastert, when he included me on his Information Technology Advisory Council.
It was through this involvement with public policy issues - such as the Governor’s Gross Receipt Tax Plan and the Payroll Tax plan - that I decided to run for the Senate. Illinois has slipped to 45 out of 50 in job growth since this Governor has been in office. Due to the Gross Receipts Tax plan and other tax schemes, employers in our district are looking to Wisconsin and other borders states to relocate their business. The focus in state government should be to encourage high paying job growth in our district, NOT discourage it!
Our Governor believes the state can continue to sell off our assets to pay the minimum payment on the debt that has been accumulated; meanwhile spending more and more of our children and grandchildren’s money. This simply cannot continue and I vow to make putting our fiscal house in order my number one priority.
I’m looking for hardworking, dedicated volunteers who believe as I do in governing for the next generation not the next election. If you’re interested in being a part of the Duffy team that will bring common sense solutions to Springfield, please give me a call at 847-381-8082. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
