| Collapse all
I'm a father and a strong supporter of our Constitution. I'm a small business owner who has built my businesses to provide a better future for my children, meanwhile providing well-paying jobs to the community. I started working construction building parks in low-income neighborhoods. At 23 years old, I worked a second job for General Motors as a mechanic to provide for my four children as a single father. My father is a retired Chicago police officer, my brother is a Chicago fireman, and I have many other family members in the military.
- Preserving American Freedom
- Reducing Inflation
- Made in the USA
I believe it’s time we rebuild Illinois and America. Everyone deserves a shot to have a great paying job and the possibility of homeownership. It’s about our kids. To provide them with a plan for future economic prosperity and security. To lower gas prices and be energy efficient by using American resources and not other nations. To project a powerful military to protect our shores. For a stronger border to cut off the flow of fentanyl that is contributing to hundreds of thousands of overdoses including police officers that are exposed to the drug. Together we can Save America!
To be honest, no one specifically, but anyone that has the courage to overcome adversity and thrive deserve respect.
Tenacity, management skills, integrity, courage
You are responsible to represent your constituents. And to do so I believe you have to be transparent, available, and disciplined.
Fixing the current America so that the next generations also have a chance
Harold Washington being elected as the first African American Chicago Mayor. I was 6 years old.
Working with my Grandfather as a very young boy. He was a tile setter, and while I unfortunately didn't get the opportunity to work with him as long as I would have liked, he did teach me the value of hard work, and about the struggles that legal immigrants face.
Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. It showed the struggles that both the individual and small businesses have.
I Don't Wanna Know by Fleetwood Mac
Being a single father, and finding a decent paying job.
Many different backgrounds coming together as one voice that represents all Americans.
Inflation, middle class jobs, dependency of energy, and manufacturing.
Manufacturing, Small Business, Labor, Taxes, Energy,
Term is too short due to constant campaigning, versus focusing on the issues Americans face.
Term limits are required to keep the health of the system of government.
To bring small businesses back to America, specifically manufacturing, and energy independence.
