Dennis Reboletti, State Senator candidate for the 23rd State Senate addresses concerns over continued major businesses leaving Illinois for better business climates.

"Tyson Foods is joining the long list of companies making a beeline for the Illinois exit door," Reboletti said. "Now along with Tyson, we can say goodbye to 500 good-paying jobs in Chicago and DuPage County." 

Reboletti highlighted that Tyson joins a long and distinguished line of major employers like Boeing and Caterpillar leaving Illinois in the rearview mirror and emphatically stated that Illinois continues as one of the worst business-friendly states in the country. 

"Offices in Chicago and suburban Downers Grove are closing for good, with 500 corporate jobs moving to their Arkansas headquarters in early 2023," he said. "The exodus continues with Cook County Senator Suzy Glowiak doing nothing or saying nothing about it. The loss of revenue to the state means us taxpayers make up the difference. When is enough, enough?" Reboletti asked.

Tyson Foods leaving Chicago for better business climate in Arkansas, Chicago Tribune reported. It had large corporate headquarter offices in both Chicago and Downers Grove and which are now leaving the state.

Reboletti, a former State House Member has always had a pro-business voting record supporting the jobs climate in Illinois.

As current Addison Township Supervisor, Reboletti has always supported the local economy, job growth, senior support, and other measures to benefit the local community. "When the pandemic struck the nation, Dennis Reboletti committed himself to feeding families and providing nourishment for his neighbors," according to a video campaign posted on YouTube. "That's why we need Dennis Reboletti in the Illinois State Senate! A compassionate leader who cares about us."

The newly drawn 23rd District within all of DuPage County, save a very small portion cut out in Cook County where the incumbent, Suzy Glowiak-Hilton, resides. Glowiak-Hilton is seeking reelection.
