From the Schilling for Congress…
Schilling: “We need to elect new leadership that will turn this country around.”
EAST MOLINE, IL–Bobby Schilling, Republican candidate for Congress in the Illinois 17th District, commented on a recent report that consumer confidence had dropped to its lowest level since February. The Conference Board stated that their monthly Consumer Confidence Index currently stands at 48.5, down from 53.2 in August.
“Consumer confidence is an important economic indicator, and our economy is clearly still in bad shape,” Schilling said. “We’re living in a culture of uncertainty. Taxpayers still don’t know if they’re going to face a tax increase next year, and small businesses are bracing for massive tax hikes that stifle growth and discourage new hiring. We need to elect new leadership that will turn this country around.”
Bobby Schilling, a native of Rock Island, graduated from Alleman High School and attended Black Hawk College. Schilling, a local business owner, is the Republican candidate for the 17th Congressional District in Illinois. Bobby is running on a platform of bringing jobs and real representation back to the 17th District.
