Candidate Q&A

The Quad Cities Chamber has conducted a Q&A with candidates for the Illinois and Iowa House of Representatives, as well as the Rock Island and Scott County Board of Supervisors. Candidates answered key questions about their vision for a business-friendly environment, regulation, workforce retention and economic development in the Quad Cities.

“Voting for your elected officials is the most important and impactful way business leaders can make their voices heard,” said Ryan Sempf, Executive Director of Government Affairs for the Chamber. "We encourage everyone to get out and vote for the candidate you believe represents your values,” he said.

The full responses from the candidates are available below, providing valuable insights for voters looking to make informed decisions this November. Notably, the Chamber remains nonpartisan and will not endorse any candidates. "We look forward to working with whoever holds office from city hall to the White House," added Sempf.
