Campaign website

Carris’ campaign website stated the following:

Economy
Jim believes the economy needs to be the absolute top priority of our representative. A strong American economy is the key to unlocking the best of the 10th Congressional District, as well as our nation. A thriving country means more funding for investments in infrastructure, our schools, public safety, and our national security.

The middle class and small business owners continue to get hammered by sky high taxes, right here in the 10th Congressional District. Jim knows we must get inflation under control, cut taxes, lower gas prices, and reduce the cost of living so that people can realize their full potential.

Public Safety
Safety in our schools and on our streets is a concern every parent and resident has on their mind in our district. It’s time we get real solutions.

School safety is a priority in the 10th Congressional District. As a father of three, Jim believes schools are meant to be a place for learning not a place of violence. No child should ever fear going to school and no parent should ever worry about the safety of their child. The time for partisan bickering is over. Jim understands the need to deliver real solutions for our children and future generations.

Crime continues to take hold of Chicago and the Chicagoland area. The reality is, we continue to experience a crime epidemic that is driving businesses and residents out of our state, all while the politicians enable criminals with soft on crime policies.

Jim will empower our local police departments and ensure they have the funding and the resources to do their jobs. Additionally, Jim knows we need to address our mental health and addiction crisis. We need to make it a priority to advocate for our residents in need.

National Security
We need to recognize the real threats to America and strengthen national security. Jim believes that starts with securing the border. Right now we have an administration and representative that refuse to even acknowledge the devastating problem we have at our border. The number of illegal immigrants entering this country are at record numbers and that is leading to increased human trafficking and an increase in the drug trade, including fentanyl, pouring into America.

Jim will work to end catch and release, install a physical barrier, and utilize new technologies – like electronic surveillance – to secure our borders and ports. Additionally, Jim will work to ensure that we lead from a position of strength and make sure our military is prepared to keep Americans safe from growing threats from China, Russia, and Iran.[3]
