Rick Heidner

I’d like to thank you all for your unwavering support. I believe we’ve started a movement in Illinois that will continue long past this primary election. I’m incredibly proud of my team and I believe we’ve run an outstanding and honorable campaign. Through God’s good graces, we made it this far. To those that believed in me and my message, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My intention was always to help and serve this great state and the people who live here. I’d like to congratulate Darren Bailey on his victory this evening. I wish you the very best and will be praying that you do what we all set out to do - beat JB Pritzker. 🇺🇸

Today's the day! Vote to BUILD Illinois. Vote for an economic boom like we haven't seen in generations. Vote for lower taxes, good jobs, and financial growth. Vote to keep the BEARS in Illinois. Vote RICK HEIDNER! Thank you, @alexstein99 and @RealAmVoice

Remember when JB Pritzker said his “plan” for economic relief was to crush small businesses owners? We the people unequivocally REJECT this disaster of a plan. Illinois needs a leader who understands how to GROW the private sector - and that’s exactly what I’ll do. 🇺🇸

Low taxes and good jobs - that's what Illinoisans across the state want. My plan will bring so much investment and development to the region that there will be no shortage of jobs, training, and economic growth. I know how to do this because I've done it my whole life!

Grateful for the warm welcome in Champaign County on Wednesday night. Let’s restore jobs and opportunity - and make Illinois one of the most prosperous states in the country. People are ready to BUILD Illinois! 🇺🇸

🚨 The latest tax numbers are in for Illinois, and they are staggering: State tax collections are up nearly $2 BILLION compared to last year. While families struggle with the rising cost of living, Springfield is seeing record hauls in: -Personal Income Tax (Up $805 Million) -Sales Tax (Up $338 Million) -Estate Tax (Up a massive 53%) Pritzker's tax-and-spend regime is crushing families. As your next Governor, I’ll stop treating your paycheck like a state ATM. IT’S TIME FOR PERMANENT TAX RELIEF! 🇺🇸

Having a plan that I'm able to execute is what sets this campaign apart. Strategy + Collaboration, not just ideas. I invite everyone to watch my full interview with @nbcchicago's @MaryAnnAhernNBC youtube.com/watch?v=xqePYs…

NO TAX ON TIPS. NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY. NO TAX ON OVERTIME. Delivering one of the largest tax refunds this year. 💸

All they ever talk about is how to TAKE more money from hardworking people. They never talk about MAKING money for the state. JB Pritzker has no business sense at all. He drives away great companies and good jobs and raises your taxes. As Governor, I will do the OPPOSITE!

JB Pritzker always does the opposite of what the people want. No Tax on Tips - except for Illinois School Choice Credits - except for Illinois Qualified Business Deductions - except for Illinois When Congress passes the SAVE AMERICA Act, he'll try to slither out of that too.

@ladybo00 @WashTimesOpEd Yes. Absolutely, no question - the Sanctuary State is GONE.

@RickHeidnerIL @WashTimesOpEd So Rick will you get rid of the states sanctuary status? Tell tell. Ted says he will. And you do need votes from downstate. Just asking for everyone NOT in Chicago?

"For Mr. Pritzker to have the audacity to play president when he can’t even lead Illinois is a slap in the face to Illinoisans and all other Americans. As the people can attest, we don’t need another Illinois Democrat in the White House." Thank you, @WashTimesOpEd washingtontimes.com/news/2026/mar/…

The people are ready for a better direction. No more career politicians, no more political insiders, no more of the same failed establishment. It’s time for someone with some business sense and COMMON sense. March 17th - let’s get to work! 🇺🇸 patch.com/illinois/acros…

My economic plan doesn't require permission from the Democrats in Springfield. As we cut spending, I'm going to bring in enormous jobs, revenue, and opportunity to Illinois. This is how we lower taxes. I can start this on DAY ONE! Thank you, @nbcchicago @MaryAnnAhernNBC

Illinoisans and the rest of America overwhelmingly support voter ID. Anything less goes directly against the will of the people. The time is now and it's way overdue!

Excited to see everyone tomorrow in Champaign County!
