Find out what candidates think about disability policy in Illinois

On November 4th, Illinois voters will elect all 118 Representatives in the Illinois House and 40 of the 59 members of the Illinois Senate. These officials will have tremendous influence over the lives of thousands of people with disabilities who rely on state funded services.

That's why the Campaign for Real Choice in Illinois and several disability groups across the state distributed a questionnaire to all candidates for the Illinois House of Representatives and Senate. Topics include civil rights, integrated community living, education, employment, and more.
