- I will fight to give working families relief from high taxes. Politicians in Springfield clearly don’t understand all the money they spend in government comes from the bank of us—it’s the workers and families in this state who pay in the form of the highest overall tax burden in the country. Families need relief. It’s time we stopped these politicians and their overspending. As your state representative, I will push for pension reform in Springfield that fulfills the promises we’ve made to public workers while making the system affordable for Illinoisans. And I will work to return Illinois to being a hub for business and industry so we can create good paying jobs and opportunities for our residents.
- I will fight to make our neighborhoods safe. We’re seeing a scary increase in crime in our suburban neighborhoods. People who commit crimes aren’t held responsible, especially in Chicago and Cook County, and that violent crime is now creeping into our once safe communities. In Springfield, I will push for accountability. Law enforcement needs the resources, manpower, and support necessary to prevent crimes and arrest criminals. When crimes are committed, those criminals need to be prosecuted and held responsible. We also need to support programs that help people never become criminals in the first place.
- I will fight to ensure our kids get the education they deserve. As a teacher and leader in education, I can unfortunately report the education our kids are getting in Illinois is not great. Making matter worse, some are using schools to push their political agendas. Our kids deserve better. We need to return to a rigorous curriculum that sets high expectations for students. We need to get politics and social agendas out of our classrooms and schools. We must teach our kids the value of graduating high school regardless of their path beyond high school. And we need to spend less on administration so we can put more into classrooms educating our children and supporting our teachers.
Taxes, Education, and Safety.
