76,000 doors knocked. 56,000 phone calls made. WE’RE NOT DONE YET! 🇺🇸💚

We’ve put in the hours. We’ve had the conversations. We’ve shown up every single day.

And now we’re in the final stretch.

We’ve come too far and worked too hard to slow down now!

I’m proud of this team. I’m proud of what we’ve built. But the job isn’t finished.

We need EVERYONE to show up!

If you haven’t voted, get out and vote! Call your friends. Text your family. Remind your neighbors.

We’ve given everything we’ve got to get here.

Now let’s finish what we started!

LET’S GO, DISTRICT 97! 🇺🇸💚

Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat! 💚🐾

Plainfield High School will always have a special place in my heart!

Walking these halls years ago, I never imagined I’d be standing here today, running to represent the community that helped shape who I am.

This is home. These are my roots. And no matter where life takes me, I’ll always be proud of where I came from.

Seeing this sign tonight was pretty special. ❤️

Proud to be a Wildcat. Proud to call Plainfield home!

TODAY IS THE DAY! 🇺🇸💚

Every door knocked. Every conversation. Every early morning and late night.

We’ve put in the work. Now it’s time to finish what we started!

This campaign has always been about something bigger than one person. It’s about our families, our neighbors, and the future of our community.

I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together, but we’re not finished yet.

Today, we show up. Today, we make our voices heard.

Get out and vote. Bring your family. Remind your friends and neighbors.

Let’s finish strong, District 97! 💚🇺🇸

Tonight, let’s trade politics for pumpkins! 🎃👻

With so much talk about politics lately, sometimes it’s nice to put it all aside and enjoy the little things that make our communities special! 🎃

Tonight is about family, neighbors, kids in costumes, and making memories.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween! Enjoy time with your loved ones, watch out for all those little trick or treaters, and stay safe!

Happy Halloween from my family to yours! 🎃👻💚

5 DAYS LEFT! 💚

We’ve come so far, and now it’s time to finish what we started.

Every conversation, every door knocked, and every person I’ve met along the way has reminded me why I’m doing this.

Our families deserve better. Lower taxes. More affordable living. Leadership that listens and shows up.

Election Day is November 3rd!

Make a plan to vote. Bring a friend. Remind your neighbors.

Your voice matters. Let’s make it heard! 🇺🇸

Families work hard to build something for the next generation. They shouldn't have to worry about losing more of it to taxes.

I had a great conversation with Matt Schimanski from Edward Jones about the challenges facing Illinois families and businesses.

One issue we discussed was Illinois' estate tax. Right now, Illinois has a $4 million estate tax threshold, significantly lower than the federal level. Raising that threshold to $6 million would be a good start toward helping families protect what they've worked so hard to build.

We also talked about the rising costs businesses are facing, from property taxes to utilities.

These are the conversations that matter. We need to listen to the people working and raising families in our communities and understand how decisions in Springfield affect them.

Thank you, Matt, for taking the time to meet with me, share your perspective, and talk about the concerns you're hearing from the families and businesses you serve. I appreciate it! 💚
