It's simple and straightforward.
I am running to be your next state representative because our families are struggling to afford basic necessities like power and groceries. Because our taxes have become overwhelmingly out of control. Because we still can't get anyone to fix our damn roads.
Saving Illinois Families in their homes...
Central Illinois has a long history of being a leader in dependable, cheap production of energy and fuels, but anymore all we see is rising utility bills. We need to be leveraging our rich history, and investing in energy independent solutions, like wind and solar, and lowering utility costs to all Illinois families
...At their tables...
Illinois is farm country. Yet basic foods that we grow here are getting exponentially more expensive. We need to be supporting our local farm families with thoughtful legislation that targets the decline of family farms, while making sure our communities have consistent access to fresh, low-cost foods.
...And in their paychecks.
You hear it all the time, Taxes, Taxes, Taxes. Illinois does a lot right for her citizens, however the one thing we do very poorly on is our Property Taxes. I will fight to lower the property tax bills of every lower and middle income family, while still providing the support and care that Central Illinois’ families depend on.
Every Illinoisans has the fundamental right to provide for themselves and for their families. From unnecessary taxation, to workers rights, and ease of business we need to fight to protect everyday working Illinoisans. I will fight hard to

Making sure we tackle basic infrastructure needs, like repairing roads such as Illinois 81, 82, and 29, river infrastructure for not only our commercial and industrial needs, but also recreational, and repairing and updating our rails to better accommodate our grain exports and passenger travel.
Illinois has long been a leader in energy production, from our early days of being a top producer of coal, to our innovative mid century days as the home of nuclear energy production, to our present day leadership in clean wind and solar production. As your state representative, I will
Support of clean energy production, including wind and solar.
Target those companies that are taking advantage of everyday hardworking illinois families, working to lower energy bills across the board.
Across Illinois, our small family farms are core to our identity. Not only are we the America’s #1 producer of Soybeans, Pumpkins, and Horseradish, but we also are one of the top exporters of crops. And our family farms are being bought up, and pushed out by large corporations. We need to ensure our food supply is kept local, and is there to help our own citizens. As your representative, I will
Fight for farmers, neighborhood farms and more by making sure they have the resources and ability to continue building and working their land the way they see fit
Ensure our food supply is kept safe, healthy, and secure for all Illinoisans.
Ensure that food costs are LOWERED, not raised. In a state as fruitful as ours, there is no reason we should be short essential foods.
