Obamacare has been a disaster for Illinois. Many counties only have two options for consumers, and our healthcare costs have only gone up over the last decade. We can, and must, do better.
Ironically they call it the Affordable Care Act, but it has been unaffordable for most Americans and small businesses.
Having worked in the healthcare industry, I will push for real reform that will increase transparency in billing, which will foster competition among healthcare systems. I also believe consumers should have more options in the marketplace and their policies should be transportable across state lines. I will work to cut costs by giving families more flexibility in their healthcare coverage options.
These initiatives will make healthcare more accessible and more affordable.

While today’s economy is stronger than it has been in recent years, it is still fragile. Interest rates remain high and continue to stall growth. Tariffs will help bring back manufacturing and add jobs, but more needs to be done.
I will work to pass legislation that will stimulate growth and quicken the economic recovery.

Recent events have brought to light problems with our election processes. We need a photo ID to buy cough syrup and to get on an airplane—we should need a photo ID to vote.
I will push to re-implement the need for 3 forms of ID to register to vote, and proof of ID at the polling booth.

Allergies are rampant in our youth. One in four kids today have some form of an allergic condition. This is a direct result of the chemicals and preservatives that have been added to our food for years. They act as toxins to our bodies.
When in Congress, I will work to enforce stricter quality standards for our foods and reduce the chemicals we unknowingly eat every day.

The influx of millions of illegals is draining our resources and making our communities less safe – putting us all at risk. Constituents should not be paying for the free housing, free healthcare, free phones and meals that illegals are receiving, when they continue to struggle themselves. I support expanding ICE and deporting violent criminals.
Legal immigration is something I fully support. Eliminating border checkpoints and refusing to deport those who commit violent crimes makes every resident less safe.

More industry leads to more jobs. Illinois has been losing industry at a quickening pace – and losing jobs. From job loss to higher prices, every day Americans are forced to deplete their savings just to get by. We are working harder – for less. I will work to stimulate the return of manufacturing to the 6th District and provide relief – getting people back to work.
In Congress, I will work to expand workforce training programs and help connect hard working Illinoisans with good paying jobs.

Small businesses have been hit hardest by supply chain issues, labor shortages, and increased costs and more taxes. Small businesses are the foundation of our economy. They employ 46% of Illinois residents. We need to help them create jobs and foster thriving communities – not add to their burden with more taxes and regulations.

America has always been a leader in technology and innovation. As advancements in technology continue, Congress must fully fund research and development into critical technology and infrastructure for national defense and economic development.
If elected, I will work hard to ensure America remains a hub of technological innovation, especially in emerging areas such as blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and Artificial Intelligence. We, as a country, can do this by making critical financial investments, supporting sound regulatory frameworks, and offering tax incentives for private sector development.

I am Pro – 2nd Amendment and believe we must protect our right to bear arms.

By the time the next Congress takes office, the issue of the Debt Ceiling will be back on the table. I am opposed to raising the Debt Ceiling. It will only add to the already enormous burden we are placing on our children and grandchildren. I will push to curb spending and limit the debt we, as a Nation, incur.

It is time to get back to scholastics – reading, writing and arithmetic. We should be re-implementing gifted programs and those for special needs students. Schools must advance our kids based on aptitude – not the color of their skin. Just look at the test scores, teachers are not teaching our kids today. We also must address what is being done to water down curriculums nationwide and fill our kids heads with opinions rather than facts. We need to give our kids the tools to succeed. I support helping our kids improve their critical thinking skills—not being told what to think. We must end the sexualization of our kids and protect parental rights. Children are our future, and we must protect them.

Our children are dying from fentanyl. In 2023, a state-wide study ranked our district – Illinois’ 6th Congressional District, as having the most fentanyl related deaths. This is unacceptable – and a direct result of the open-border policies pushed by our current representation. We need stronger penalties for fentanyl crimes and more task forces to go after the source of this major drug that kills so many of our children.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 36 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 1,328 contributions · 59% of ranked | $63,907 |
| Written instead of an employer · 70 contributions · 11% of ranked | $12,113 |
| 1 contribution · 1.9% of ranked | $2,083 |

A further $3,236 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($203,495) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Total itemized disbursements $300,876

All 270 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.

The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
