| Collapse all
- As an Independent Alderman, I have always voted "No" on increasing taxes with Levy's as well as our Water Bill. Fiscal responsibility is key, but also the promises made of "government grants" needs to be upheld in a timely manner for all cities; not withheld 5 years or more with our current economy. - Yes I am pro-life, but we are the abortion State capital, and nothing will change in the future being run by the inner City. Though I do not believe that Religious Clinics should be fined for stating a mother has "baby" during an ultrasound, but a "clump of cells'. This is taking away a businesses Religious Freedoms. - As a mother, concern comes with our schools and Mental Health. They need to allow the SRO officers to address bullying or abuse rather than allowing the situations to continue. - Parents should not be lied to or left out of their children's lives in school. They are the parents, and they have been shunned out of their children's upbringing by government entities. - Our Veterans deserve more from us after risking their lives to protect what freedoms we still have left.
- Every Bill passed, seems to take away more Freedom from We the People.- Safety of our communities
- Fiscal Spending to help our struggling economy
- Protector of Our Constitutional Rights
Mental Health is a huge area that needs addressing not only bullying in schools but for our Veterans as well.
Our Veterans deserve so much more from our State. Those retired or on disability need help from us now. Our economy is crushing the hearts of so many around our communities. The people need relief from so much government control.
I would like to be known as a person that did not take away freedoms but as the one that gave freedom back to the people.
From stabbings or bullying attacks in elementary schools where the attackers were not expelled or punished but protected over the victims. As well as people crying on how they do not know if they will even make it to the following month paying bills for them or their families without going into foreclosure or going homeless.
Knowing so many people are living paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to move or are unsure if they will be able to afford one more month.
Finding out that several brothels involving sex trafficking were found in Kane, DuPage and throughout out the Chicago land city in 2023 has been quite disturbing.
If you are elected, you have to make decisions that are best for your community and still abide by the Oath of office in the process of the Constitution. Elected officials are all human and need to treat others with the same respect as a neighbor asking for help. It is ideal to work as a team to build up our State to be a home capable of helping our constituents and the people of our State during these hard times.
