Mark Batinick, (State Representative, 97th District)

A recognized reformer and champion of individual liberty, State Representative Mark Batinick has spent his first two years in Springfield fighting to improve Illinois’ jobs climate and strengthen the quality of life for Illinois families.

Representative Batinick has introduced legislation to provide property tax relief, make higher education more accessible and affordable for current and future students at Illinois’ public universities, reform the state’s broken workers compensation laws, honor Illinois military personnel killed in the line of duty, enact constitutional changes to rescue Illinois’ pension systems from financial crisis, and implement reforms to make state government less costly and more accountable to taxpayers.

Representative Batinick earned a B.S. in business education from the University of Illinois in 1992. Acting on his entrepreneurial spirit, Mark pursued the American dream and started his own business.  He has been self-employed ever since.  Mark is currently a commercial real estate broker and owner of a home services company.  The vast majority of his clients are small business owners. As a result, Mark has directly witnessed the negative effects of Illinois' hostile taxation and regulation policies in recent years.

As a small business owner and consultant, Mark understands how to save money and make organizations run more efficiently. As a citizen, he has exposed waste and inefficiencies of local government bodies. He worked to provide alternative solutions that are not only more cost-effective but also improve government services.
