The Issues
Illinois has strong gun laws, but more work needs to be done to ensure responsible gun ownership and to prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands.

We’re all tired of self-serving politicians who twist the truth to serve their needs. If elected, I will seek to build upon existing ethics reforms...

The ship has sailed in deciding whether or not climate change is real, yet we still have politicians engaged in the denial of science.

Illinois has made improvements to the inclusivity of our state’s curricula without compromising the integrity of the education students are receiving.

It’s well known that our healthcare system is deeply inequitable. Rising healthcare costs have placed millions of Americans in debt while providing outcomes below what we deserve.

The General Assembly has passed laws protecting the right to choose, but I believe we need to go further and improve those laws, as well as enshrine this right into the Illinois Constitution.

I’m a dues-paying member of the Campaign Workers Guild and follow in my family’s footsteps of proud union members.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of our community. Too much of the tax burden has been placed on small businesses and low- and middle-income Illinoisans.

The rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, especially the trans community, are under threat from hateful, partisan actors.
