Less than a week until Election Day. Here’s my 60-second pitch.

I’m the only candidate who has served in the military and practiced law, and I’m running on a 10-Step Trump Accountability Plan to restore congressional authority and rein in executive power.

🗳️ Vote by March 17.

One of the first questions at my town halls in #il08 is how to fix our politics. One starting place is money in politics.

Someone you’ve never heard of can spend millions of dollars to influence your vote, and you don’t know who they are.

That’s dark money, and it has no place in a democracy.

Adding gasoline price spikes to tariffs, healthcare cuts, ICE murders, and the Epstein cover-up threatens to drop Trump’s approval rating with Republicans below 95%.

Cute retro-style drawing of two kittens in bow ties talking. One politely asks ‘How are you doing?’ while the other humorously replies ‘The rage consumes me,’ creating a contrast between the cute image and the dramatic response.

This meme captures our current mood.

Public health is being systematically dismantled.
People will suffer. People will die.
Of course we’re angry. (1/2)

Students at my high school dressed up as strippers for our school’s Halloween day. And it was apparently fine with those in charge 🤷‍♀️

No one could have predicted that starting a trade war would lead to the loss of jobs.

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.

It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.

When gas prices spike and groceries cost more, remember why.

This war doesn’t just mean instability overseas. It means higher oil prices, disrupted supply chains, and working families paying more.

We need leadership focused on lowering costs, not starting wars that make everything more expensive.

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

Trump started a war of distraction.

Iran is already striking U.S. bases and just destroyed a dining hall where I ate while deployed.

He admits troops could die. He’s fine with that.

I’m running to stop a president who treats the Constitution like a suggestion and American lives as expendable.

Honored to have the support of Corinne Pierog Chair of the Kane County Board, and Mike Porfirio Illinois State Senator.

When Anthropic raised concerns about how its AI was being used by the military, Pete Hegseth reportedly threatened to label them a supply chain risk.

If ethics get you punished, only the most reckless companies will line up to work with the Pentagon.

We deserve oversight. Not strongarm tactics.

This guy's smiling photograph is appearing today, in normal news coverage of an elite gathering.

He has killed 215,000 adults and 445,000 children with USAID cuts, as of the most recent estimates. 14 million deaths are expected by 2030.
