What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

My top three priorities if elected would be property tax relief to alleviate the burden on middle-class families and make Illinois a more affordable state in which people want to stay; gun reform to prevent illegal guns from coming into the state and keeping our communities safe; and providing affordable, quality healthcare for all citizens and the elderly.[11][12]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

From my time on the Western Springs Village Board, I am passionate about government efficiency and eliminating redundant levels of government. This concept can be used in nearly every area of policy and as senator, I would implement efficient solutions into policy formation.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[12]

[the profile publisher] also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Suzy Glowiak Hilton answered the following:

What qualities do you possess that would make you a successful officeholder?

From my career in engineering consulting, I am detail-oriented and able to find creative solutions to problems. Many of the problems currently facing our state require new perspective from a political outsider.[12]

What process do you favor for redistricting?

I would favor a process that is carried out by elected officials with complete transparency so that voters understand where and why the boundaries are drawn. The voters can demand accountability and boundaries should not allow incumbents to choose their voters.[12]

If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Since I have experience as a Village Trustee, I would like to be a part of the Local Government committee. I would also like to eliminate redundant levels of local government in the state. As a mechanical engineer, I have studied energy and have an interest in the environment and conservation.[12]
