John,
Last week, I shared with you the statement I read about the state of Illinois’ dangerous SAFE-T Act during a Village of Orland Park board meeting.
I know many of you shared the statement on your social media accounts and via email to let your friends and family in Illinois know what is coming on January 1.
I want to thank you. Because so many helped to spread the word about the SAFE-T Act, the video went viral and was picked up by numerous national news outlets, including FNC’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, America’s Newsroom, Daily Caller, The Post Millennial, Hannity ([link removed]) , The Greg Gutfeld Show ([link removed]) , The Charlie Kirk Show ([link removed]) , PJ Media…I am told we even went viral on Tic Tok, and high school students are now talking about the SAFE-T Act.
A few of the clips are below, but I wanted to be sure to thank you for taking the time to help spread the word about our campaign to restore common-sense leadership to Congress.
Additionally, this week we released our first campaign ad of the General Election. Titled ‘Service Over Self,’ the ad features 6th District residents, including local military veterans and independent business owners. The piece highlights my record of service to his country and to my community.

Fox News Channel: Tucker Carlson Calls out Illinois’ Insane SAFE-T Act, Plays Viral Video of Pekau Statement
In a segment about the rise in violent crime across the nation, FNC host Tucker Carlson slammed Illinois’ SAFE-T Act. The segment featured the now-viral video ([link removed]) of Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau describing the outrageous law.

Commenting on the SAFE-T Act, Carlson stated, “How does this work, exactly? Is this such a Low-T country that no one is going to do anything about this?
“Politicians in Illinois just legalized violent crime against you, and no one’s done anything about it. A lot of these people are going to be re-elected in November… really? How does that work? Where is the constituency for violent crime in this country? Is there anyone who’s for it… other than Kamala Harris, Ron Klain and the ideologues who run this administration? Most people are not for it. Even most Democrats are not for it.
“The SAFE-T Act of Illinois stands for “Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity, Today.” So, the reason they’re doing this is that they didn’t like the demographic breakdown of people who were getting arrested for crimes… It was ideologically inconvenient for them, so the solution is to just legalize murder, and kidnapping, and trespassing.”

Key points:
Perino: “The Governor [of Illinois] is a very left-wing Democrat. Is he listening to any of you?
Pekau: He is not listening to us on this, and historically he doesn’t really listen to any of us. He does whatever he feels like. He did the same thing through COVID: didn’t listen to us. It’s not a surprise that he’s not listening. It’s also not a surprise that they [the Illinois legislature] passed this back in January of last year, and waited until January of 2023 to put it into effect. It’s because they knew the impact that this was going to have and they didn’t want to be running for election after voters saw the impact of such a horrible law.
Hemmer: Why do those who support this law want it in Illinois?
Pekau: I have no idea why someone would want this. It clearly puts citizens and police officers at risk in favor of criminals who are violent. It puts us all at risk. It gets worse than being released without bail. When this goes into effect in January of 2023, a police officer will not be allowed to remove someone from your property for trespassing. They can take residence in your shed, your pool, in a business, and all police can do is ticket someone. By law, they’re not going to be allowed to touch someone to remove them from those premises. Think about how dangerous that will be with people forced to take the law into their own hands.
On Lori Lightfoot shipping Texas migrants to the suburbs:
Pekau: Lori Lightfoot presides over a Sanctuary city, and when migrants are sent there, she immediately ships them to a suburb. If they are sent to our suburb, the first thing we have to do is make sure that those migrants are housed humanely. We’re not going to put them back on a bus like cattle. That’s just inappropriate. To treat people like that - regardless of their circumstances - is just plain wrong. We have to take care of those people, make sure they’re safe first. Then think about keeping our communities safe. And the fact is the migrants, as we know, are not properly vetted… and we turn around and we have a law that doesn’t allow people to be kept behind bars … what in the world could possibly go wrong with all of those factors being put together?

Get Involved
Politicians in Washington, DC like Sean Casten, and Nancy Pelosi have put special interests, party politics, and extreme agendas ahead of doing what’s best for the people they’re supposed to represent.
Keith Pekau is the common sense, local leader we need in Washington to take on the extreme politicians. His record of results stands in stark contrast to the failed, divisive politics and rigid ideology of Sean Casten.
Whether you choose to contribute, knock on doors, or host a yard sign on your front lawn, every little bit counts and helps my campaign inch closer to victory.
