GALESBURG, IL - Ray Estrada, Republican Candidate for Congress in Illinois’ 17th District, released the following statement in response to the Illinois Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Pretrial Fairness Act: 

“Ending cash bail is a radical policy that puts all Illinois residents at risk. It does nothing to curb violence and legitimizes rogue prosecutors who put so-called “social justice” before the safety of victims.

As Congressman, my first priority is keeping your family safe. I will do everything to ensure law enforcement officials have the tools necessary to recruit and train officers so they can do their jobs and keep our neighborhoods safe. 

There is nothing “progressive” about allowing our communities to become bastions of crime that leave families and small businesses fearful.”
