IL Supreme Court allows Kunz & other candidates on Ballot
Sorry for the delay.
In late May, JB's dems arrogantly changed a Child Welfare bill into an election interference law, to stop some candidates' 2024 campaigns. We sued JB & won! JB's dems appealed to the IL Supreme Court. It took 2 months, but on 8/23 the Court rejected JB's appeal.
Now, finally, let's win this race!!
Kunz Endorsed by Illinois FAmily Action
About the Endorsement
Illinois Family Action (IFA) recently notified me, after reviewing both candidate's backgrounds & platforms, they've endorsed my candidacy over my opponent. I'm grateful for IFA's efforts to promote moral public policies & their support for my candidacy.
Shared Socially Conservative Perspective
There are significant differences between me and my opponent on social issues (see adjacent Candidate Comparison). If these issues are also important to you, please vote accordingly on Nov 5, 2024. With backing from IFA and you, I'll bring a conservative Christian perspective to Springfield (which is sorely lacking!).

A Message from Carl
Thanks for visiting our website and for your support. Many have asked "why did you decide to get involved in politics? Isn't the goal to enjoy retirement?"
I was enjoying retirement, including more family-time, fewer scheduling restrictions on travel & camping plus a few interesting part-time jobs. However, I've become increasingly frustrated by IL legislators enacting laws contrary to IL voters' wishes. The more flagrant examples include the repeal of the Parental Notification Act (PNA) in 2021 and passage of the SAFE-T Act in 2022. Realizing IL legislators aren't representing their constituents' views in Springfield, I decided (rather than complain) to just get involved.
Regardless of your political affiliations or opinions, we can all agree IL is NOT on a good path. Crime is on the rise, education quality continues to decline, property taxes are sky-high & parents' rights continue to be ignored. There's NO check & balance on JB Pritzker's reckless "progressive" agenda. SOMEONE has to tell him we want better for Illinois. I'm prepared to go to Springfield & tell JB enough is enough!!!
