I am passionate about preserving the American Dream and enuring a opportunity rich environment for future generations to come. To achieve that goal I am running for State Rep. focusing on school choice, parent involvement in education and economic freedoms. Join me in Championing the American Dream.
I Stand with Parents against corrupt Teachers Union Bosses: Current Officials have failed our education system. When elected I will be though on unions and ensure that good teachers get the gratitude and support, they deserve, and bad teachers get fired. ​School choice is on the forefront of my election campaign.

Wasteful spending erodes the services our communities need most:I will tirelessly advocate for responsible spending within our state government, holding officials accountable for fiscal discipline and transparency. By promoting efficient allocation of resources and prioritizing taxpayer dollars, we can ensure a financially sound future four our state and its residents.

With my Experience working in the Cook County Treasure's Department, we will beat the government in their own game: My Office will commission a local property tax task force which will actively seek out Taxpayers with refunds available and instruct them on the paperwork that must be submitted to secure their money.Don't want to wait? Reach out to our campaign and we will come to your Business and organizations to help your employees secure their refunds and exemptions.

We pay more and make less to fund Union Bosses and Special interests: In a time where many families struggle to afford groceries, I will work tirelessly to pressure local officials to lower sales taxes. Responsible allocation of taxes will lead to more in the pockets of ordinary residents.
