By Benjamin Cox on April 5, 2021 at 9:54am West Central Illinois Republicans revealed and explained the new Reimagine Illinois platform Friday morning. 94 th District Representative Randy Frese of Quincy and 100 th District Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer of Jacksonville outlined key points of the platform revealed by the party back on March 17 th. The platform has four major pillars with corresponding bills that Illinois Republicans hope to push in the upcoming session of the Illinois General Assembly. Davidsmeyer says that the plan boils down to ending political corruption, balancing the state budget, growing job opportunities, and maintaining public safety. Davidsmeyer says one of his key focuses in the next session is to either fix and give resources to the current Firearm Owners Identification Card and Conceal Carry license systems ran by the Illinois State Police, or get rid of the systems all together. He says he deals with FOID Card problems from his constituents on a regular, if not daily, basis: “This is obviously not keeping guns and firearms out of the hands of criminals. We regularly see this, not just on the south side of Chicago, but we are seeing it grow even in the City of Springfield. We need to do what we can to go after the root problem rather than the individuals that choose to follow the law.”
