Why are you running for this office?

Hardworking families in Illinois’ Sixth District elected me because they wanted an outsider’s perspective to come to Washington and fight for the priorities that they wanted to see done whether that be combatting the existential crisis of climate change, lower healthcare costs, invest in education, protect families from the epidemic of gun violence, and reverse the punitive tax code implemented by Republicans.

That’s why, as a Democratic member of Congress, I work hard to create meaningful, commonsense policies. In my first 200 days, I am proud to have introduced or cosponsored 204 bills embody those principles and that reflect the values of the Sixth District of Illinois. I am also proud that during my tenure in Congress, I have held 12 town halls in IL-06.

What are you planning to do if you win?

Here are two of my key priorities that I have fought for and continue to fight for in Congress.

1. Combatting climate change. Climate Change is an incredibly urgent and complex issue, which is why I was proud to preside over the floor of the House when H.R. 9 passed, Climate Action Now. This bill not only recommits us to the Paris Accords but also challenges to the Trump administration to come up with a plan to tackle this problem and reduce carbon emissions.
2. Lowering Health Care costs. There is no question that the American health care system is broken. Although, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) vastly improved the quality and protections of private insurance, there is still much work to be done. Health insurance premiums and prescription drug prices are far too high. Republicans continue to threaten to rip protections away for those with pre-existing conditions. We must secure these protections permanently and work to strengthen the ACA.
