CRYSTAL LAKE – Carolyn Schofield, a GOP primary challenger to incumbent IL State Rep Allen Skillicorn (R-East Dundee), evaded a question from 66th District Republican voters, refusing to declare whether she holds pro-life or pro-choice views, according to a video taken during the discussion.

The question from a Dundee Township Republican was, "Do you consider yourself pro-life?" 

“I don’t consider myself either, because I am more policy-driven,” Schofield said.

"You have to be one of the other," another person said.

NOTE: Dundee Township GOP has informed us they hold the rights to the video used above – and they ask that readers review the group's whole discussion with Carolyn Schofield at their YouTube page. The videographer is Sue Ejzak. 

Schofield shrugged and said, “Because I can answer the question and it just depends on the person…I see people go in a room and they answer it one way and I say, ‘oh that’s me. I go in another room with another group of people and I say, ‘oh that’s me.’”

The video provided to Illinois Review: 

State Rep. Allen Skillicorn said voters need to know Schofield's position before voting next Tuesday in the 2020 Illinois Republican Party primary. 

“Abortion is a big issue to voters, and they deserve to know where legislative candidates stand,” Skillicorn said. “Unfortunately, my opponent won’t commit to one position. She can’t have it both ways. The voters deserve to know where she stands on one of the most important issues of our time.”

Skillicorn noted he has been consistently pro-life.

“I have consistently voted pro-life and I am up front about my views on abortion, which are consistent with our Party’s platform,” Skillicorn said. “The flip flopping of my opponent should trouble every voter in the 66th District. If she cannot articulate her views on abortion, what else will she equivocate and flip-flop on? It should not be this difficult to tell voters if you are pro-life or not.”

Schofield's challenge of Skillicorn is being promoted by the area's Republican Senator Don DeWitte.
