Campaign website

Rezin's campaign website stated the following:

Cracking Down on Illegal Immigration

Just as you are not a bad neighbor if you lock the doors to your home while you are out, the United States is not a bad neighbor if it takes action to control our borders to determine who comes in, when and for how long. You may frequently entertain in your home, but you decide when to invite people in. You probably would be upset if you found strangers in your home when you didn’t invite them over. That’s how most nations treat immigration.

Standing with us on Preexisting Health Conditions

In 2019, State Senator Sue Rezin sponsored a bill in the Illinois State Senate to prohibit discrimination against people with preexisting health conditions from obtaining health coverage. She succeeded rounding up the votes for it by earning a unanimous vote in the Senate. The bill then was passed by the House. Shamefully, last August, after Sue Rezin became a candidate for Congress, Governor J.B. Pritzker issued his very first veto against the bill.

Advocating for Agriculture

Sue Rezin grew up on a small family farm by Geneseo, IL, where her father farmed a modest 200 acres and thus has a first-hand appreciation for the hard work farming involves and the low margins that make the difference between making a living and going broke. As a State Senator, Sue has represented a district where agriculture is the number one industry and her work in representing farmers has always earned the support of the Farm Bureau.

Supporting President Trump on Iran

Teddy Roosevelt Policy Alive Again—Speak Softly but Carry a Big Stick Rezin: President Trump’s decisive action against Iranian General Soleimani is equivalent to our enemies in WWII taking out either Supreme Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower or General Douglas MacArthur President Donald Trump’s order to surgically kill both legendary Iranian General Qassem Soleimani along with General alMuhandis who was the leader of the Iraqi militia that killed an American recently in escalating attacks against American bases in Iraq, could not have been more precise…more decisive…more impactful or more strategically brilliant.

Fighting High Property Taxes

In the 1990s, Sue Rezin was elected to her local school board. This experience gave her invaluable insights into education at the local level — both in terms of academic achievement and school finances. Most notably, Sue learned first-hand about the vast cost of school administration. So with Illinois having among the highest property taxes in the country, as a State Senator, Sue Rezin has been a strong proponent of measures allowing school districts to share administration functions and has introduced a bipartisan bill to do just that.

Ending Corruption

Sue Rezin is a leading member of a bipartisan group of State Legislators demanding sweeping new ethics laws in Illinois. Rezin notes that campaign contributions to Representatives and Senators have to be publicly disclosed. The State Board of Elections puts the information online so voters can see who is donating to each legislator. Sunshine on campaign contributions is a good thing.

Defending Life

Sue Rezin is committed to restoring a Culture of Life 100% Pro-Life Voting Record Sue Rezin gave the closing pro-life speech on the Senate Floor last May when Democrats pushed a new abortion bill with virtually no restrictions through the last day of the last month of pregnancy. It was an abominable bill pushed by Democrats who were giddy about using the new power of their supermajorities in the House and Senate along with a new Democrat Governor.

Opposing the Graduated Income Tax

Governor Pritzker and legislative Democrats are pushing a referendum this fall for a Graduated Income Tax. I urge you vote against it, and here’s why. While it is being wrapped in crafty language that it will only increase taxes on the rich and actually cut taxes for working people, it is a classic “foot in the door” ploy for higher income taxes for everyone.

Sue Rezin: A National Leader on Flood Resiliency

The Flood Resiliency Coalition is a model developed by State Senator Sue Rezin and is now the model included in the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers’ Silver Jackets Program used throughout the country. It is also the model used by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and the Fox River Flood Coalition as a guideline for their flood resiliency plan.
