My reasons for running are many, but I feel that we need real representation rather than politicians that put their self-interest first and hold their positions through deceit. As a super minority party, it wll be hard to do effective change, but I will be fighting for citizens’ rights, Protection for the innocent (unborn), and working to keep government doing what is right and wanted by the people, rather than interrupting their ability to live life, and purse their dreams, with minimal government intervention. We as representatives, are to listen, contemplate, and serve the people. This is no longer happening.

1. The rights of the citizens of Illinois are being eroded away. A. The rights if the unborn are being greatly abused, as they are being murdered as if they were nothing. When I get into office, I will put forth bill(s) to protect those rights, even though these bills may not make it out of committee. B. The bureaucracies seem to have the upper hand in controlling the public, whether this be DCFS, school administrators, Health Departments, the Governor’s office and his unconstitutional mandates, and other agencies, all need reigned in. For the DCFS there has to be a revamping and better management of the leadership and staff. For the Health Department / Governor’s office there needs to be clear guidelines and laws that ensure that they are not overstepping their boundaries. For schools, we need to make sure that the School Boards can better decide their curriculum without State overreach and mandates, such as CRT, and the immoral sexual indoctrination of our children.
2. Illinois State needs to get a better handle on its finances. There is wasteful overspending of the tax payer’s money, and corruption. We need to make better decisions on what bills we pass that introduce spending, and fight against unnecessary pet projects. One of our goals should be ensuring the infrastructure is sound. We also need to grow the tax base by getting more companies to come into Illinois (rather than leaving Illinois), this can be done through proper/less regulation in the manufacturing sector, along with a better aligned tax base for those companies. Once spending is under control, we also need to address the over taxation of our citizens.
3. We also need to address the safety of Illinoisans. Being a sanctuary state has brought a cost burden to its citizens, along with drug and sex traffickers. Removal as a sanctuary state should be a goal. We need to have properly trained law enforcement (not non-citizen law enforcement), so that they are a de-escalating force, and better able to protect and serve the citizens of Illinois. Removal of parts of the safety-act, mainly no bail release, should be a goal.
