Campaign website
Davis' campaign website stated the following:
1. Revive Main Street America:
We must end Over-taxation, crippling regulations, and inflation which is suffocating small businesses, and causing Main Street America to slowly close. Jennifer believes as a businesswoman, political outsider, and successful investor in startups that we must start empowering entrepreneurial families to thrive, innovate, and grow.
2. Ensure Safe Communities:
JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson have failed Illinois families — doing little to nothing to address crime in our state, cities, and communities. Jennifer will restore the rule of law, enforce existing laws, and bring back the safety and vibrancy every community deserves.
3. Restore Education & Parental Rights:
Put parents back in the driver’s seat as their children’s first educators, with schools as partners—not substitutes. Keep classrooms free from ideological agendas, return to core academics, and open pathways that prepare every child for success—whether through college, trades, or entrepreneurship.
4. Promote the American Dream:
Create opportunities for all—especially the next generation—to pursue prosperity through hard work, sacrifice, and innovation. Illinois’ best export should not be our kids; they deserve the chance to build their American Dream right here at home, in the communities where they were raised.
5. Secure Borders with Immigration Reform:
Advance good, fair, and orderly immigration policies that protect American workers, strengthen communities, and reflect our heritage as a nation of immigrants. Jennifer will work to bring meaningful, long-term reform that keeps our borders secure while welcoming those who come here legally to pursue the American Dream.
6. Safeguard Data and National Security:
Foreign adversaries like China and Iran are using the internet to steal from us, divide us, and target our kids. Jennifer’s expertise as a tech founder gives her the vision to stop these threats, protect families’ privacy, and advance America’s security and energy independence.
