Randy Hultgren
Geneva, IL – U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren (IL-14) today released the following statement regarding the September unemployment report released by the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
“Today’s report that unemployment has increased to 10 percent is a clear sign that the state’s private sector has lost faith in the tax-and-spend policies espoused by leaders in both Washington, DC, and Springfield,” said Hultgren.
“At the state level, I encourage leaders to work quickly to address
- the ever-growing pension crisis,
- the budget deficit, and
- late payments to state contractors.
“In Washington, I urge Harry Reid and the Senate to pass their first budget in more than 900 days and for them to act on the more than a dozen pro-growth, pro-job bills that have been passed by the House.
“We must restore the confidence of the private sector so small businesses will begin to grow and hire once again.”
http://www.Heritageactionscorecard.com has Randy with a score of 77% and Joe Walsh with a score of 95%.
This is the amount of time that they vote to advance freedom,opportunity,prosperity and a civil society as measured by the Heritage Foundation.
Both have a 100% score from National Right to Life.
I would chose Joe Walsh over any other member of the Illinois delegation to represent me if I were voting in a primary where Joe Walsh was one of the candidates.
