A major issue between the two candidates is support and opposition of the death penalty in Illinois. Poe states that he supports the death penalty as a deterrent to crime. He says that Gov. George Ryan's moratorium on executions was appropriate. It provided time for study of the Illinois Criminal Justice System. Craven strongly opposes the death penalty on moral grounds. He says he "doubts the threat of execution is a deterrent for criminals and because the judicial system is "less than perfect"" (Olsen 2). Each stands on entirely different sides of the line on this issue, but each express strong support for arguments explaining their opinion of the death penalty. Several other issues were argued in several heated debates, but all were carried out with the utmost class and dignity as expressed in few elections.
Raymond Poe has strong beliefs in agriculture and farming. He stresses these issues in debates. However, the recent addition of urban Springfield to the 99th District may not favor his rural opinions. The 99th has become a very urban area where it did not contain such large parts of Springfield the last time Poe ran for office (Farmer 1). Don Craven states that voters may not be interested in having a farmer represent them. He does not believe the new district will react positively to Poe's highly agricultural opinions as it is now a City-of-Springfield district rather than a farm district (Farmer 2). Poe says that he really enjoyed his old district because it was very agricultural. He is not worried about the new district because he sees it as a changed district, one that leaves plenty of opportunity, with the addition of St. John's Hospital to the district, to help Springfield (Farmer 5). Poe's goals are local, he wants to help Springfield and the surrounding communities grow and develop into more prosperous neighborhoods.
Poe raised funding for his campaign through twenty-two special interest groups including Credit Union Political Action Committee based in Naperville, Moline-based John Deere Corporation, and Distilled Spirits Council based in Washington D.
