Vote NO on CON CON

On Election Day, November 4, Illinois, voters will be asked to decide whether the state should hold a Constitutional Convention (Con Con) to rewrite our state's governing document.

The last time voters were asked if a Con Con was needed, they rejected the notion 3 to 1. We should do the same this year.

There are many reasons to vote NO on CON CON:

• It will cost taxpayers as much as $100 million- money that could be better spent on education and critical services.
• It would open the entire constitution for major changes, threatening important protections and allowing special interests to push their narrow agendas.
• The state constitution can already be changed by amendment. In fact, Illinois voters have amended the current constitution 10 times since 1970.

A Con Con would be costly and unnecessary. Please join me and vote NO on CON CON on November 4.
Thank you.
