A few months ago, I opened our property tax bill at the kitchen table—and I just shook my head.
I thought about my neighbors in Riverside, a retired couple, who told me, ‘Eric, we love our home, but these taxes are forcing us to think about leaving.’

Then, not long after, I met a mom in Berwyn at a community event. She whispered that she skipped a doctor’s appointment because her health insurance deductible was just too high. She said, ‘I take care of my kids first—I’ll just wait.’

And last fall, I visited a local elementary school in Cicero where a teacher told me she spends her own money on classroom supplies because funding gets swallowed by administration before it reaches the kids.

This is the story of District 21—families working hard, paying more, and getting less.

Meanwhile, Democrats have controlled Springfield for decades, and what do we have?

• Some of the highest property taxes in the nation

• Health care that costs more every year

• Schools where parents and teachers feel left out of the conversation

Enough is enough.

Care, Learning, and a Break isn’t just a slogan—it’s my mission:

• Care: Families deserve affordable, transparent health care that puts patients first—not red tape and higher bills.

• Learning: We need schools that focus on kids, empower teachers, and bring parents back to the table—not politics.

• A Break: We must cut property tax waste and protect homeowners, so families can afford to stay in the communities they love.

I’m Eric Su—a dad, neighbor, and someone who’s felt the squeeze just like you.

I’m running as a Republican because Springfield needs a fresh voice—one that fights for families instead of party insiders.

Together, we can give District 21 the care, the learning, and the break we all deserve.
