On Budget & Economy: Rein in government spending; cut taxes; balance the budget

He fought for property tax relief for city residents, and he embraced opportunity zones to lower taxes and create jobs. As Governor, Richard will rein in government spending, cut taxes, balance the budget, and fight for property tax relief.

On Crime: As mayor he defeated the local 'Defund the Police' movement

As Mayor of the second-largest city in Illinois, he defeated the local 'Defund the Police' movement by standing proudly with law enforcement and hiring more cops to keep our communities safe. During the summer of 2020, when Chicago did nothing to stop looting, Irvin called in the National Guard, shut down roads, and arrested lawbreakers. While crime has skyrocketed around Illinois, Richard held crime down in Aurora. As Governor, he'll continue to be tough on crime and criminals.

On Government Reform: For term limits, against gerrymandering

While other Republicans are regularly steamrolled by Mike Madigan and Springfield insiders, Irvin fought Madigan and won. When Irvin ran for Mayor, he defeated Madigan's hand-picked candidate so he could take on the system. Irvin is a political outsider who supports term limits to get rid of career politicians and is a strong supporter of fair maps so every voice in every community is represented and heard across Illinois. Irvin will clean up Springfield corruption.
