Park Ridge businesswoman says she is looking to unseat a three-term state representative in next year's election.

Republican Marilyn Smolenski announced this month her plans to run for the 55th State Representative seat, a position currently held by Democrat Marty Moylan of Des Plaines.

Smolenski, who has lived in Park Ridge for nearly three years, is the owner of Nickel and Lace, a line of concealed-carry bodywear holsters for women, and a member of the Republican Women of Park Ridge. This is her first time running for elected office, she said.

"I do sit on the board of the Republican Women of Park Ridge, and in some our meetings, we discussed how Marty Moylan was going to be running unopposed," Smolenski said. "I felt people in our district really deserved to have representation."

"I'm a political outsider," she added. "People are really fed up with the political establishment in Illinois. They feel their quality of life isn't getting any better."

Smolenski points to taxes as her first priority if elected, saying she will advocate for a 1-percent cap on residential property taxes in Illinois and a repeal of the recent income-tax increase. She is calling for "serious fiscal reform" at the state level, but said she will turn to constituents to determine how such reform can begin and what can be done.
