| Replace the Death Penalty with Life Without Possibility of Parole | This candidate did not respond to the questionnaire. | I support continuing the moratorium until all underlying problems with the system are fixed - and if they can't be fixed then life without parole is a good alternative and I believe it would help bring immediate closure for the victim's families. |

| Commutation of all currently sentenced to execution in Illinois | I don't know about the particulars of the current death row inmates to know whether blanket commutation is appropriate. |
| Christine Radogno | Donald Evans | |
| Replace the Death Penalty with Life Without Possibility of Parole | This State Senator did not respond to the questionnaire. | Sorry, I'm not there yet. I do feel the death penalty should only be used for the most heinous crimes, where there is NO doubt about the perpetrator, like John Wayne Gacy, Richard Speck, etc. |
| Continue the Moratorium | I support, until the legislature enacts nearly all of the recommendations put forth by the Governor's Commission. (One exception to the eligibility list: someone who contracts someone else to commit murder. | |
