Campaign website
Carris’ campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Economy 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 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 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] |
