Republican Martin McLaughlin brought eight successful years of experience as Barrington Hills village president when he entered the Illinois House in 2021. Now, he’s seeking a second term in the newly drawn House Dist. 52 and his thoughtful, measured approach to state government makes him the right person for the job.

With a background in investment management, McLaughlin is particularly well suited to help address the financial issues facing the state, and his tenure at the helm in Barrington Hills was marked by his success at providing needed services while keeping taxes low. He favors the traditional limited-government positions of his party, yet — on issues including education, crime, government spending and more — he remains thoughtful and independent in working out the details of legislation and examining problems facing the state.

McLaughlin is endorsed.

Our great main-street businesses are still coming back from Covid lockdowns and need our support more than ever. Please join me at Volo Fest on September 17th, Oktoberfest in Island Lake on September 23 & 24, the Norge Ski Club’s Jumptober Fest in Fox River Grove, and many more fall events in our local region.

As a former mayor and head of our local police department, I can state firsthand that democrat policies that my opponent, Mary Morgan, and those like her who are soft on crime advocate for only expedites the retirement of experienced officers, exposing our families and businesses to greater harm. The Safe-T Act and its cashless bail requirement takes effect on January 1, 2023, and is opposed in all 102 counties by an overwhelming majority of states attorneys.  They understand the dangerous impact of releasing violent offenders and what it will do to overwhelm our law enforcement officers, court systems and the harm it will potentially cause to individual families and businesses. It’s about time we made crime illegal again in the State of Illinois.

Reading, math scores fell sharply during pandemic, data show – AP News

Not surprisingly, the short-sighted heavy-handed shutdown policies in our state have data that shows our children’s academic performance has declined substantially in math and reading in the past 2 years.

The long-term impact of these shutdowns and their emotional and developmental impacts will be felt by our children for years to come. The only benefit that has come from these awful decisions is that local moms and dads are calling out those responsible for poor decisions at local and state levels regarding their children’s educational well-being. It is time to show these agenda-driven politicos the door.

“I think it’s past time that all state legislators take a look at themselves in the mirror and make a decision about if what they’re doing is in the best interest of the state or themselves,” McLaughlin added. “The real question for Mike Madigan is how you can not feel responsible for where we are right now after having been in charge all this time.
