Campaign website
Ramos’s campaign website stated the following:

Policy Positions In 2021, Democrat Gov JB Pritzker reneged on his campaign promise to the people of the state, saying he was going to commission an outside non-partisan entity to redraw the legislative redistricting map of Illinois. He lied to Illinois and delivered a very partisan, unconstitutional gerrymandered redistricting map in late 2021 that disenfranchises taxpayers in the state for another several years. My own district IL2, included in the Democrat Party's gerrymander scheme, will continue to face the same problems if we don't get bad leadership out of office. What is bad leadership? It is the politicians, including incumbent Democrat Rep. Robin Kelly, who continually advocate for PARTY over the PEOPLE mentality. What you Should Know about Democrat Incumbent Rep. Robin Kelly Rep Kelly continues to endorse bad incumbents in her party who have hurt our district, including the failed Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, who has unleased a war on the people by advocating for criminals over the safety of communities and gave cover to the proven hate crime hoaxer and liar Jussie Smollett. Foxx's aim to get incarceration rates low for political expediency has resulted in thousands of criminals free to roam the streets to commit more crimes, which has essentially held the district people hostage and tied the hands of law enforcement. This is Rep Robin Kelly's Democrat Party mentality, to create chaos and mayhem under the guise of social justice and continue to support bad leadership in her party. With President Joe Biden's approval rating sinking to the low 30s, this is also a reflection of Rep. Kelly and her endorsement of policies that aren't working for the middle class. Specifically, it is not social justice for anyone when our kids can't walk to school safely or moms can't even drive to work in the morning without fear of being hit by a stray bullet. Or a business owner can't even protect what they have worked so hard for to contribute to a local community because thugs are allowed to riot and steal with impunity. I join others in the district in fighting back against BAD DEMOCRAT POLICIES! Enough is enough! No more career politicians who speak out of both sides of their mouth. It is time we the people hold them accountable to act on our behalf to promote the will of the people and policies that lead to FIXING problems not CREATING problems.
I stand for the sanctity of life, from the beginning to the end. I am a single mom, I know personally how hard it is to raise a child on your own. However, it is my belief we can do things to strengthen life for single parent families, not sell the notion that aborting life is the key. If we can't be right about protecting the most defenseless among us, then nothing much else matters. No tax money should be used to fund abortion of a baby because not all taxpayers agree with this. Advocacy and assistance for adoption must increase to push for supporting moral choices to protect human life. Right now, there are waiting lists for families waiting to adopt children in need of homes. We are living in a time now too that birth rates are at an all-time low. This alone has long term ramifications on society. The economic consequences are severe. In the 1960s, there were six people of working age for every retired person. Today, the ratio is three-to-one. By 2035, it will be two-to-one.
I will use the Constitution as a litmus test to gauge whether a law infringes on our rights. My feeling is the government in recent times has become so big, bulky and emboldened. We must have liberty-minded Representatives in Congress now more than ever. I will work to keep the Government out of our pockets and out of our lives as much as we can to stop and curtail the massive overreach it is guilty of. Our forefathers did not envision the big, bloated government we have today. The size and scope of each government institution must be audited and assessed for reform. *Pro-2nd Amendment *Pro-Free Markets *Pro-School Choice *Pro-Strong Border Security *Pro-Voter IDs and Election Integrity *Pro-Medical Freedom *Pro-Deregulation
I would support the limit of three-terms in Congress and one term in the Senate. Three terms in congress is equivalent to 6 years, while one term in the Senate is equal to 6 years. That is long enough for one to serve to help make a difference and limits the power of lobbyists and special interest groups have on politicians they give money to. *Pro-Security *Pro-Law Enforcement *Pro-Veteran *Environment |

|- I join others in the district in fighting back against BAD POLICIES! Enough is enough! No more career politicians who speak out of both sides of their mouth. It is time we the people hold them accountable to act on our behalf to promote the will of the people and policies that lead to FIXING problems not CREATING problems.
- We have a lot of problems that have been ignored, including homelessness, human trafficking, gang violence, substance abuse, and the outright erosion of liberty and rights of the people in the district. Now we have no choice but to fight to restore the people's voices from IL2 in Washington DC, which has been hijacked by very partisan politicians beholden to lobbyists and special interest groups that funnel money to their campaigns.
- Pro-Law Enforcement We cannot tie the hands of our first line of defense. It is essential we keep our communities safe and how we do this is by having open communication with our law enforcement department and transparency. People are stepping up to put their lives on the line to put on a uniform and badge to protect our communities. We must stand with them, not against them.
