|After school was finished I had another opportunity to come back and live full-time in the USA. My career focus has primarily been in finance and the auto industry, though in the past couple years I became involved in local politics, fought for our children's rights in the schools, assisted with the election of qualified individuals to the local school board and worked with several others to get the unlawful Illinois school mask mandate overturned. This type of passion has led me to seek a place in congress as a representative of the people. As a Polish immigrant who has now lived in this region for nearly 25 years, I'm in touch with the needs of the diverse communities in Chicagoland and hope to become the "first ever" female Polish immigrant to be elected!
I am married and live in North Barrington with my husband Bryan, son Kevin and stepson AJ. My daughter Olivia is now in college. My parents and other family live overseas and I visit as often as possible.- As a Polish immigrant who has now lived in this region for nearly 25 years, I'm in touch with the needs of the diverse communities in Chicagoland. It's been far too long since we've had elected officials that really care and can empathize with the everyday people. If I'm elected I will fight for YOU, not the political machines.
- When I received my naturalization certificate and became a U.S. citizen, I promised that I would always follow the U.S constitution, abide by its laws and protect our nation against any enemy. I believe this is the responsibility of every American citizen.
- “We The People” and freedom are more than just concepts, they are the basis for our nation. Our country needs to get back on the right track and mindset so the American Dream can thrive for all. I plan to be at the forefront to make this happen.
Better funding allocation to combat crime is critical. More resources are needed to keep our cities and neighborhoods safe.
We need significant reform in our schools to benefit both the students and the teachers. More balanced spending and fiscal responsibility, higher educational standards, less union intervention.
Implementing a flat tax that is fair for all, and I will fight to stop criminal tax increases that feed political lobbyists.
Concentrate on creating real jobs in America. “Made in America” is important for the livelihoods of our citizens and the integrity of our country.
We need to stop corrupt political machines that are being controlled by large, influential corporations – especially including Big Pharma.
