| Collapse all
- Affordable Housing: Illinois families are being priced out of their communities. I'll fight to streamline approval processes, expand transit-oriented development, and fast-track affordable housing projects to address this crisis.
- High-Quality Public Education: As a former teacher, I understand that teaching is a profession and should be treated as such. That means fighting for the resources teachers need to do their jobs and ensuring they have a safe, professional work environment.
- Public Safety: Safe neighborhoods require investment in evidence-based solutions. I'll support community crime prevention, expand mental health and substance abuse treatment, and increase funding for gun enforcement.
