Comptroller

• Libertarian party candidate Claire Ball-968 votes 

Ball focused her platform on the Fiscal Responsibility, Integrity and Transparency Agenda.

Ball used the agenda to present her ideas, which include cutting the Comptroller budget as a way to publicize the way other budgets in Illinois can similarly be cut, according to her website.

She also said Illinois has a reputation for being corrupt, and she plans to change this by cleaning up reporting for the state. This reflects the integrity portion of the agenda, and Ball said she answers only to taxpayers as a Libertarian.

Running third party, Ball is against three other candidates in this election, but according to her campaign site she hopes the Fiscal, Integrity and Transparency Agenda will put her ahead.

• Green party candidate Tim Curtin-567 votes

Curtin describes himself as the only progressive and independent candidate in the running, according to his website. He supports a graduated income tax, a progressive tax where people with higher incomes are taxed more than people with lower incomes for Illinois.

Curtin believes all candidates should go to town hall meetings, not just the Democratic and Republican candidates. One of his priorities is to restore funds cut from education and social services.

• Democratic party candidate Susana Mendoza-9,198 votes

Mendoza’s number one priority as comptroller is to be honest and watch closely over the fiscal and moral state of Illinois, according to her website. She said she plans to do so by protecting the most vulnerable populations within the state.

Mendoza said she will bring a fresh look to the comptroller’s office, specifically by looking at the Fiscal Control and Internal Auditing Act to make sure it reflects forward thinking. This act gives the comptroller authority to audit the Illinois Federal Government and make sure taxpayer money is being spent responsibly. Mendoza said she will achieve this by working with the Auditor General and operating under a transparent and efficient office.

Mendoza has worked as Chicago City Clerk and served six terms as a state representative and said she hopes to add Illinois Comptroller to her list of accomplishments.

• Republican party candidate Leslie Geissler Munger (I)-10,655 votes

During her previous term as comptroller, Munger spoke out about Illinois’ fiscal responsibility and the consequences of reckless state spending

During the year-long Illinois budget impasse, Munger prioritized payments for nonprofit organizations and social services and demanded state elected officials wait for their own paychecks, according to her campaign website.

Munger said she is committed to Illinois taxpayers and putting them first. She said it is important the Illinois government keeps its promises for change.

Endorsed by eight Congressmen, Munger hopes to stay in office as Illinois Comptroller for another term.

DeKalb County State’s Attorney

The DeKalb County State’s Attorney is responsible for representing the state in legal matters and under local jurisdiction prosecutes criminal cases.

• Republican party candidate Richard Amato-12,213 votes

At the start of his career, Amato ran a law firm in the DeKalb area and said this required the same leadership, management and budgeting skills he feels will be necessary to successfully fulfill the position of state’s attorney.

According to his campaign website, one of Amato’s biggest concerns is in regards to how State’s Attorney Richard Schmack handles misdemeanors. Amato’s plan is to shorten the prosecution and pleading of misdemeanor cases in an effort to allow more time and focus to be spent on more serious crimes.

Amato said he hopes to reestablish the DeKalb State’s Attorney’s Office as a dynamic part of law enforcement and to make sure DeKalb is justly served.

• Democratic party candidate Richard Schmack (I)-9,042 votes

Schmack has been a practicing attorney for 36 years and has served the past four years as DeKalb State’s Attorney. During his time as State’s Attorney, Schmack successfully closed all four first degree murder cases with his leadership in guiding his office.

Schmack said he believes people with financial instability are often mistreated in the judicial system unlike the beliefs of his Republican party competitor Richard Amato, who believes people are treated fairly despite financial differences.

For the past two years, Schmack has been an advocate for keeping non-violent offenders under community supervision and probation and he continues to pursue this idea despite admitting that these offenders often break probation and slow down the judicial system. If reelected, he said he hopes to advocate for a more vigorously monitored probation system.
