“My top three priorities if elected would be property tax relief to alleviate the burden on middle-class families and make Illinois a more affordable state in which people want to stay; gun reform to prevent illegal guns from coming into the state and keeping our communities safe; and providing affordable, quality healthcare for all citizens and the elderly.” (Ballotpedia (Campaign Themes))
“Since I have experience as a Village Trustee, I would like to be a part of the Local Government committee. I would also like to eliminate redundant levels of local government in the state.
