GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Rick Heidner Joins The Ray Stevens Show to talk about how his election run has gone. Heidner emphasizes his 40-year background as a businessman and entrepreneur to argue that Illinois has a "spending problem" rather than a revenue problem. He advocates for lower property and gas taxes, as well as a more favorable climate for job creators. He strongly supports implementing term limits for the Governor's office—specifically "two terms, then go home"—to end the era of "lifetime politicians". He positions himself as a "Trump Republican," echoing a desire to end Illinois' status as a sanctuary state and supporting crackdowns on illegal immigration to save state resources.

Heidner proposes the use of vouchers to provide parents and children with more choices in their education if they are dissatisfied with public schools. Heidner is a Barrington Hills real estate developer and the owner of Gold Rush Gaming. His campaign messaging often highlights his "outsider" status and his alignment with the policies of the Republican administration in Washington
