Welcome
Dear Friends,
Welcome… and thank you for visiting my campaign website! I’m David Harris, the Republican candidate for State Representative in the 66th District, and I hope you will find the website useful and informative in providing important information about the November 2nd election for State Representative.
The time has come for us to turn our great State of Illinois around and get it pointed in the right direction. This proud Land of Lincoln, which is the fifth largest state in the nation, is circling the drain of economic ruin. I hope you share my feelings about the mess we are in ---- ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The bad statistics about Illinois are dramatic and telling : we are 48th in the nation in job growth and we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country; and we are tied with the basket case of California for having the lowest bond rating of any state. Our budget deficit is estimated to be $13 billion, and we have a mountain of unpaid bills of roughly $6 billion.
It’s clear that Illinois is headed in the wrong direction. We need to change the policies in Springfield so that Illinois can once again be moving forward positively. And to change the policies we need to change the personnel! The past eight years have seen our State sink into a sea of red ink that will drown us, our children and our grandchildren. We can --- and we must --- do better!
 I invite you to join in my effort to make Illinois great again. We can make the positive changes needed for our State. It won’t be easy. There are tough decisions that need to be made. The incumbents and the vested interests don’t want to change the system. But our effort is important. It is important for us and for future generations. Imagine an Illinois again at the top of the ladder among the states instead of at the bottom. Imagine an Illinois where businesses want to locate and expand. Imagine an Illinois with a functioning state government that is not buried in debt or a culture of corruption. This is an important, critical and exciting endeavor.
Join me, and let’s make history on November 2nd!
Please use my website to learn more about my campaign. The site will be updated frequently and regularly, so I encourage you to visit often. Thank you for your support, and I send along my
Best personal regards,
David Harris
