Issued the following announcement on Aug. 18

“Illinois is never going to fix its problem by
electing the same kind of woke, liberal politicians,” Rabine said. “Failed
career politicians have declared a war on families.  Whether it’s
nonsense mandates, or debilitating tax increases or their horrific approach to
crime, our state leaders are waging war on our families, and it is costing us
dearly.”

 Rabine said it is not the role of government
to make healthcare decisions for individuals and families and to intrude in our
lives as is happening far too frequently now.

“The role of government is to protect us from
violent criminals and to keep our communities safe,” Rabine said. “We are not
going to mandate our way back to prosperity. We need somebody who’s going
to stand up to the political elites and insiders and someone who isn’t afraid
of them. That’s why I’m running.”

 Rabine has built successful businesses,
created thousands of jobs for Illinois families, and is the outsider Illinois
needs to turn the state around.

 “This state needs some hard truths,” Rabine
said. “In our company, we don’t lie about problems or pretend they don’t
exist. We confront problems and we solve them.  That is what I will
do as Governor. We need to end the war on families, end Illinois ranking last place
in nearly every meaningful metric for sound governance. We need an outsider and
someone who has helped build, protect, and empower families to end those awful
policies. I’m working around the clock to earn your support and take this fight
to the politicians who have sabotaged us for far too long.”

 The downstate bus tour featured stops in
Kankakee, Arthur, Mattoon, Effingham, Marion, and Chester.  

About Gary Rabine: Gary is an
entrepreneur who has built more than 30 businesses right here in Illinois.
Rabine Group businesses are able to serve customers in every Illinois county
and in every state. Gary knows the importance of keeping jobs here at home, and
he’s proud that almost all of his businesses have been started and grown in
Illinois. Gary’s vision for Illinois is to be the best entrepreneurial
environment of any state in the middle of the greatest country in the world.

Gary Rabine, a candidate for Governor, was in Chester on Wednesday as part of a two-day bus tour through downstate Illinois leading up to Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair where he emphasized the failed policies of the past and how they will only result in more failed outcomes for Illinois families.
