Constitutional Pension Reform for IllinoisConsolidation of Governmental Units and Agencies in IllinoisSchool Choice for Illinois

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Pensions

Campaign website

Solomon's campaign website stated the following:

Parents' Choice in Education

Today, public schools adhere to one-size-fits-all indoctrination designed to drive a wedge between parents and children. The implied doctrine of government schools is to usurp parents' fundamental rights and to pervert the minds of innocent children with sexual and sociopolitical ideologies.

The Solomon-Fields team believes that parents must have a seat at the table to ensure that their children receive a quality, morally-sound education.

We support school choice advancement in Illinois and believe that the money should follow the student to the school of his or her choice without government overreach.

The Solomon-Fields team also supports Illinois's private school choice programs, "Invest in Kids Program" and "Tax Credits for Educational Expenses." These programs have helped many families in Illinois send their children to the participating private schools of their choice.

We are strong supporters of homeschooling. However, Latasha urges homeschooling families to protect their educational autonomy by avoiding taking any government funds because of the bureaucratic overreach generally attached so-called free money.

Taxes - Fiscal Responsibility

The Solomon-Fields team believes the government needs to be fiscally and socially responsible with other people's money.

Therefore, Max will work to reform the pension crisis and eliminate unnecessary tax hikes, such as the sales tax on gas.

These excessive taxes destroy our economy and place an undue financial burden on Illinois households.

Sanctity of Life

The Solomon-Fields team is pro-life. They believe that human life is unique, indispensable, valued, and protected from the moment of conception.

We strongly OPPOSE all bureaucratic mechanisms that remove parental consent and notification for our daughters under 17 and the expansion of abortion access with taxpayer funding.

Economic Empowerment & Entrepreneurialism

The Solomon-Fields team believes in individual choice, personal responsibility, and the dignity of working hard.

We will work to improve the economic groundwork of our most distressed zip codes and support policy reforms that advance small business' growth, entrepreneurialism, and job creation.

As governor, Max will work toward delivering the much-needed additional tax cuts to stimulate hiring and investment opportunities.

Likewise, we will work with the Illinois General Assembly to expand vocational programs, trade schools, and the advancement of apprenticeship and job training initiatives.

Stop Crime & Corruption

The Solomon-Fields team will ensure just laws are enforced and work with the Illinois Attorney General and local State's Attorney offices to ensure that the rights and property of the residents of Illinois are protected.

The Solomon-Fields team, when elected, will work with communities and local law enforcement personnel to find strategic and effective ways to prevent criminal activity and to ensure proper prosecution where prevention measures have failed.

We will also ensure that victim advocacy programs are adequately funded and provide proper care to those who have fallen victim to crime.

Second Amendment

The Solomon-Fields team is a strong advocate and supports Illinois citizens' constitutional right to bear arms without government infringement.

Therefore, we believe one of the best ways to curb violence on our streets is to reform the existing laws that infringe on the individual liberty of those that have a legal right to be firearms owners.

Medical & Health Freedom

The Solomon-Fields team is a strong advocate for individual choice and will always fight for personal medical and health freedom for every Illinoisan.

Therefore, government, non-government entities, or medical professionals have no right to mandate masking nor infringe, or coerce individuals into medical procedures, such as vaccinations[13]
