Why is Downstate Illinois
frequently overlooked in state policy?
Chicago might be bigger, but our lives are no less important.
Central Illinois shouldn't be overlooked and unheard!
Listen to Neighbors
Create a Plan
Deliver + Implement
As a 4th generation Macon County resident, I’m stepping up to spark changes as a Republican State Representative, while focusing on smart non-partisan approaches. We need logical changes that EVERY citizen can get behind.
It all starts with listening to each other and finding common ground.
After knocking on hundreds of doors, these are the top priorities I'm designing with neighbors.
Create new workforce training opportunities to add additional income; grow in a digital economy. Our citizens deserve to learn how they can profit from new technologies.
Help Voters & Our Neighbors Earn More
Pivot Tax Revenue
to Minimize Taxes
Support Our
Small Businesses
As jobs and people flee, we shouldn't be forced to pay the difference. We can reduce individual taxes by enabling new types of Web3 corporations, like Wyoming has already done.
Support lower state taxes to help small businesses reinvest their profits into creating new jobs and growing stronger. We need more businesses, not less. Incentivize accordingly.
You shouldn't have to wonder if your voice matters while your politicians bicker. You should have a say in how our state is run, with a clear plan for economic prosperity lifting you and your family up.
The strongest part of our state is in our local communities. Families who have helped each other get through the pandemic together. You know our most relevant problems. Sadly, complaints I hear while talking to you and other neighbors have not been part of any political conversation I witness around town.
It’s time to move from short-sighted policies that confront old problems, and look at the bigger picture to make better policies work for your needs, right now. I'll also raise my hand for term limits.

I'm making it easy to give feedback about what you care about, and what your family deserves in Illinois.

Your direct feedback - with in-person conversations in our community - will be the basis for my political platform.
Join The Conversation
If you agree with more fiscal responsibility and better policies, let's talk.
I'm seeking your input and guidance to build my platform.
This is a community effort.
If we are able to meet, I'll gladly represent your voice and values in the
upcoming elections. There is no obligation to vote for me at any time.
Most political roadmaps generate wasted time and failed effort for the leaders who create them because they fail to consider the desires of the voters they serve. The most successful community leaders we've seen start by discovering their constituent's journey.
Prescott Paulin
In recent years, I had the pleasure of serving as a community architect to improve the Department of Defense and our nation's artificial intelligence capabilities against China. I’m no stranger to government red tape, having worked at the Pentagon as Special Advisor to the Chief Software Officer of the U.S. Air Force & Space Force. I've also been involved in our local community as a family business owner, Hospital Chaplain, Deputy Sheriff, Rotarian, and Marine Corps Officer.
I've learned there's no amount of intuition that can replace listening to the people I serve. I believe that asking more thoughtful questions will yield a better quality of life for us all when we seek honest answers.
Our family business is at risk of being pushed out by poor political decisions. That's why I’m running as a grassroots representative who understands why we all are tired of being unheard in policy. That’s why it’s important to me to hear what YOU want -- and deserve.
Accelerate Illinois' growth through open doors in town.
Let's listen to one another to ensure all are represented.
Our community will thrive by mapping out a thoughtful path for residents to succeed.
You deserve to be free from burdensome regulations and restrictions.
Freedom is worth everything.
As we know, freedom isn't free.
It takes your voice and vote to be heard.
DEDICATION
TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
Prescott is publishing a book in October, teaching retailers / brick and mortar business owners how to drive new revenue by creating high-impact community events.
After enduring a cardiac arrest in 2014, Prescott's life was saved by two nurses in Springfield at the Abe's Amble. He spent the following years serving the emergency room.
Nominated by our Illinois State's Attorney, Jay Scott, Prescott was awarded Citizen of the Year for improving safety by prosecuting drunk driving in our local community.
Prescott has worked with his father to create new jobs in our community and connect Decatur to global revenue streams that brought in new tax revenues.
Under Sheriff Thomas Schneider's leadership, Prescott was invited to serve as an Auxiliary Deputy Sheriff in Macon County to help provide support to law enforcement.
Prescott volunteered through multiple community organizations to help improve equality and safety for animals and people, as well as elevating arts in our community.

We will be posting stories here

Hear Our Illinois Community
Here are the topics our neighbors care about most. I'll be glad to elevate them.
Social Impact Priorities
End Elder Abuse
No family should have to worry about their aging senior members. We've heard horror stories about adult diapers not being changed for weeks.
It can take up to an hour in the country for law enforcement to reach you. If you're in danger, it should be a no-brainer to have the right to defend yourself and your family.
Second Amendment Rights
There are two types of people in society. Producers and Moochers.
If you're contributing to society, you should be rewarded -- not penalized.
Producers vs. Moochers
Let's address these community needs together.
I will launch RestartIllinois.com in the next two months so you can learn more
about my plan to structure new revenue opportunities for Illinois' future growth.
I believe our politicians won’t need to tax individuals and small businesses as heavily
as they are now if Illinois has other income streams to accept tax revenue from.
That means embracing (and attracting) new types of corporations, like Wyoming does now.
That means embracing the newest version of the internet, known as #web3.
You've probably heard of block chain and cryptocurrency, right? Bitcoin?
That's Web3. And no current politicians in Illinois understand how to plan for it.
You’ll also learn about how I plan to design and task citizen-led advisory boards
from all 96th District communities, to ensure your voice is always heard.
Rather than trusting one politician to be an expert in everything ( that's impossible! ) --
I’ll invite a diverse panel of local experts for honest, open conversations
which will help our leaders to spearhead more effective policy outcomes.
"What are you going to do as State Rep?"
I'm putting citizens like you back in the driver's seat.
The only Web3 political candidate in the State of Illinois
helping empower citizens through tech-driven revenue.
