Policy Priorities
Economic Growth
- Promote policies to cut personal income taxes and eliminate the inheritance tax.
- Vote to reduce stifling regulations, boosting small businesses and job creation, especially in struggling areas like Chicago and rural downstate.
- Support agricultural economic development. While the U.S. is becoming a tech-focused economy, we still need farmers to grow healthy and clean food. I support efforts to aide family farmers in maintaining their land, more readily access capital to diversifying a farm, secure equipment upgrades, modernize their operations, and be well prepared to pass family farms to the next generation.
- Promote Infrastructure for Trade. Illinois is a major transportation hub, with Chicago as a key player in rail, air, and trucking. Enhancing federal funding for roads, bridges, and freight rail systems can reduce bottlenecks, speeding up the movement of goods. This supports industries like agriculture in rural areas and manufacturing in cities, increasing trade efficiency.
- Foster connectivity. Improving funding for broadband access, especially in rural downstate Illinois, ensures businesses and residents can connect to markets and opportunities. Better digital infrastructure also attracts companies, creating jobs, while modernized airports and public transit (e.g., O’Hare expansion) link communities, fostering economic unity.
- Leverage the might of the federal government to create an Americans FIRST labor sourcing plan and talent management strategy via a) Education: Push for school choice and vocational training programs to empower parents and prepare students for high-demand careers, tackling Illinois’ education funding disparities, b) Tightening the labor market: Immigrant labor should be a supplemental labor source of last resort. Approximately 18.6% of the jobs in Illinois are held by immigrants, as reported by USAFacts. This includes both immigrants who are US citizens, have authorized work permits, or are undocumented, and c) Challenge American businesses to put Americans first in recruitment, hiring, development, promotion, and retention. Incentivize and reward patriotic corporations.
- The 100-years-old pension crisis in Illinois threatens the security of pensioners, can disrupt national interests, and places a heavy tax burden on working families. I will leverage the powers of the Senate to hold officials accountable to failed decision making and provide technical assistance for viable course corrections in investment strategy, transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness without bailing out states for poor leadership and disastrous money management.
- Support executive and legislative actions that make it easier to discharge student loan debt after bankruptcy.
- Robust vetting of federal claims of harm from lost jobs, wage depression, and stolen wealth due to impacts of mass immigration, "Black Codes," and any well documented government actions that allowed or/and facilitated discrimination against American citizens. Investigate impacts and recommend for implementation all appropriate corrective or/and reparatory actions.
