The race for State Representative of the 99th district appealed to me because of the way both men chose to run their campaigns. Republican, Raymond Poe and Democrat, Don Craven both ran honest campaigns, and were the only two candidates who did not run any negative advertisements. "It's a battle between two nice men. Don Craven is a very good friend of mine and it should be a clean campaign. They are both gentlemen, both very nice people, and they"ll both work hard (Farmer 5)." The two candidates are both respectable men and regardless of the results, both ran a campaign to be proud of.
Raymond Poe and Don Craven both have very strong opinions on issues regarding school budgeting. According to the June 5th issue of Illinois Times online the number one goal of Don Craven was to see that there is meaningful change to school funding. He wants to see that funding in the state of Illinois will be the same throughout schools in the suburbs, as well as Southern Illinois (Farmer 1). Raymond Poe agrees with Don Craven, but adds that schools should receive budgeting details in May impending the next school year. This means that schools will be able to know exactly what they will receive in order to plan ahead for the next year. Poe is an expert when it comes to school budgeting because he spent twenty-one years of his life serving on the Sherman-Williamsville School Board when he realized that the schools had no way of knowing what kind of finances they would receive before the school year had already started (Farmer 2). Education is a big issue on many state referendums and both candidates have strong opinions on how to improve upon the schools in their district.
Don Craven states that the member-initiative program should be eliminated. This program is used by legislatures to fund pet projects. He spoke of the program's frequent abuses and secrecy statewide. Poe argues that member initiatives, which are funded with state money, should not be used during the tight fiscal times the State of Illinois is experiencing (Olsen 1).
