Former Illinois Rep. Skillicorn leaving state for Arizona

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) – Even Illinois’ legislature isn’t immune to population loss to other states. As the 101st General Assembly wraps up, they’re without state Rep. Allen Skillicorn, a Republican formerly of suburban East Dundee. The vocal conservative announced on Jan. 5 that he had tendered his resignation in the state Legislature. He would state that he will no longer pay Illinois’ “corruption tax” in good conscience. “Illinois has been ruled for far too long by a small handful of […]

COMMENTARY: Ford, Wilcox want to reform ballot access petitioning threshold law

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- For the past several years, I've been quite vocal on reforms to the Illinois Election Code (see December 12 and December 30 commentaries). I've been taking charge on getting support for House Bill 3535 (co-sponsored by Anne Stava-Murray and Carol Ammons) and House Bill 3828 (co-sponsored by Allen Skillicorn, Jonathan Carroll and David Welter) and went into full attack dog mode in November. These bills call for the elimination of the ballot access petitioning threshold multiplier for […]

Skillicorn, GOP colleagues call for special legislative session to tackle ethics reform

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Several members of the Republican caucus are calling for a special session in order to bring ethics reform to the General Assembly, but it doesn't seem likely it will happen this month. State Rep. Allen Skillicorn (R-Crystal Lake) recently called for a special session on Twitter, citing that "ending the culture of corruption" is key and "is not rocket science." Skillicorn and four other colleagues -- Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville), Blaine Wilhour (R-Beecher City), Chris Miller (R-Oakland) […]

COMMENTARY: It’s time for Illinois’ election laws to be reformed for the better

I have been quite vocal about reform election law reform for quite some time on social media. Actually, it's been more prevalent since the beginning of the 2018 election cycle: Attempts to reform the state's election code of laws have been made since 2013 by state Sen. Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) in the form of Senate Bill 1624, which called for the elimination of the "ballot access multiplier", which requires independent and new party candidates to collect, depending on political […]

Skillicorn open to run for higher office in 2020

EAST DUNDEE (Heartland Newsfeed) -- There has been much speculation as to who may be running in the 14th Congressional District of the Illinois delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2020 cycle. Among the speculation is state Rep. Allen Skillicorn. The East Dundee-based Republican said in a statement Tuesday that if it takes him running for another positions for Illinois families to have a voice, so be it. Randy Hultgren was the previous Republican to hold the […]

After narrow primary defeat, Ives supporters mixed on whether they’ll support Rauner in November

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- After Gov. Bruce Rauner narrowly defeated challenger Jeanne Ives in the primary for Illinois’ Republican candidate for governor, the question is now whether the first-term governor can persuade frustrated conservatives to vote for him this fall. When the numbers were tallied, Rauner had bested the conservative suburban Chicago lawmaker. But Ives turned out to be something more than the fringe candidate Rauner portrayed her as early in the campaign. He won by 20,000 votes, according […]

Skillicorn joins call to legalize hemp production

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- State Rep. Allen Skillicorn (R-East Dundee) has joined the growing ranks of those publicly advocating for the legalization of industrial hemp in Illinois. “What is the drawback to industrial hemp production,” Skillicorn said. “This was a very popular cash crop during World War II for industrial purposes. Since neighboring state Kentucky legalized industrial hemp, farmers in that state have yet another successful product to produce.” The issue of legalization has long been debated in Illinois, with […]

Skillicorn says Chicago needs spending reform, not bailout

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- As pressure mounts on the city of Chicago to address its debt crisis, some have suggested the state should help the city cover its expenses. “Chicago has spent at least two decades digging itself into a massive financial hole,” Nicole Gelinas wrote in The City Journal. She went on to say that since 2000, the overall debt has climbed from $12.3 billion to $20.2 billion, calculating out to $7,500 per person. The crisis deepened during the […]
