Get StartedI am 100 percent pro-life. Illinois has become one of the most aggressive pro-abortion states in the nation, allowing taxpayer-funded abortions up to the moment of birth and now moving toward assisted-suicide policies. These choices reflect a troubling shift away from a culture that values and protects human life. For me, this issue is not political. It is deeply personal. As an adoptive father, I have witnessed the extraordinary worth and God-given purpose of every child. Life is a sacred gift, and every unborn child deserves the chance to experience it. I have consistently voted to defend life, and I always will. My commitment is to build an Illinois where women, families, and children are supported; where choosing life is encouraged; and where the dignity of every human being—born and unborn—is honored and protected from conception to natural death.

Protecting your 2nd amendment right. I am a hunter and a member of a shooting range. I hold concealed weapons permits in both Arizona and Illinois and am a Life Member of the NRA. I deeply understand and appreciate the rights and responsibilities outlined in the 2nd Amendment. I firmly oppose any legislation that restricts 2nd Amendment rights. I have never voted in favor of legislation that restricts these freedoms for lawful gun owners, and I vocalize my opposition when bills seek to infringe on these rights. Learn more
