The text is as follows:

“This Will County district (IL House District 85) includes parts of Bolingbrook, Romeoville and Lockport. Republican Chris Metcalfe of Bolingbrook says property tax relief starts with Springfield ending the practice of slapping unfunded mandates onto local governments. Illinois should also put more into education funding, he says, which accounts for a chunk of property tax bills. And township governments that duplicate what the local municipality does should be eliminated. He is endorsed over Dagmara “Dee” Avelar, the Democratic incumbent, who is also from Bolingbrook.”

Just a clarification: The district also includes parts of Woodridge, Joliet, Crest Hill & Plainfield.
