Issue Position: Equality

Issue Position

I believe in the inherent worth of all people regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, or socioeconomic status, and I promise to be a leader that shows up and fights hard to protect your civil rights. Together we can create an Illinois where all people can live with dignity and freedom, access affordable, quality healthcare, and attend school and work without fear of discrimination.

Listening with compassion has never been as critical as it is right at this moment. I stand with the black community. I see you, and I hear you. I will work every day to make sure your voices are heard, and most importantly that you have a seat at the table in the 49th district. I will fight for anti-racist policies in policing and criminal justice. There is much work to be done to ensure equity in access to jobs, education, healthcare, and housing. My heart, my eyes, and my ears are open. I am here to do the hard work.
