Chicago faces a clear choice, John.
We can invest in a future that protects all our kids, or we can let MAGA extremists keep setting our kids back generations.
The ultra-rich MAGA crowd loves to preach about pulling yourself up by the bootstraps—but that’s easy to say when born with golden shoelaces.
Meanwhile, I grew up knowing the system didn’t expect me to survive—let alone succeed.
And that’s why I’m running for Congress: to be the fighter our kids need when the odds are stacked against them—just like they were stacked against me.
Here’s what I am going to do to protect our children:
Stop corporations from exploiting kids in fake online schools that don’t actually educate anyone.
Reform our foster care system so families in crisis get help, not punishment.
Secure funding for after-school programs—so kids have the resources to succeed.
I’m ready to bring these policies to Washington, to fight for the kids who are counted out like I was. But to make these changes I need YOUR help.
It takes serious funds to get to Congress, and I’m relying on grassroots donors like you to get me there, NOT the special interests selling out our children’s futures.
So if you believe our kids deserve a better future, I need YOU to step up to help make the difference. Will you donate $27 today to support my campaign?
