| Collapse all
- Housing is unaffordable in Will County, and residents cannot afford rent on warehouse pay. There is no excuse for working families not being able to find, let alone afford, housing in our county. If elected, I will work with partners at all levels of government as well as the private sector to bring affordable housing to our neighborhoods, and help make our county a place for our neighbors to start and raise their families here.
- There is no excuse for us to feel unsafe in our own streets. We need to invest in community-first policing that can prevent crime, rather than simply react as it happens, and as your county board member, I will put your safety FIRST in all of my decisions.
- There is no excuse for roads and bridges to work better for trucks than residents. We need a transportation system that is people focused and prepared for the growth this county expects. On the county board, I will fight to make sure our local governments are investing in safe, equitable, and reliable transportation, creating hundreds of union jobs across our county, and bringing in a new era of economic prosperity to our communities.

MY PRIORITIES
Affordable Housing
Housing is unaffordable in Will County, and residents cannot afford rent on warehouse pay. There is no excuse for working families not being able to find, let alone afford, housing in our county.
If elected, I will work with partners at all levels of government as well as the private sector to bring affordable housing to our neighborhoods, and help make our county a place for our neighbors to start and raise their families here.
Safe Neighborhoods
There is no excuse for us to feel unsafe in our own streets. We need to invest in community-first policing that can prevent crime, rather than simply react as it happens, and as your county board member, I will put your safety FIRST in all of my decisions.
Equitable Transportation
There is no excuse for roads and bridges to work better for trucks than residents. We need a transportation system that is people focused and prepared for the growth this county expects.
On the county board, I will fight to make sure our local governments are investing in safe, equitable, and reliable transportation, creating hundreds of union jobs across our county, and bringing in a new era of economic prosperity to our communities.
