Priorities

Relief for Families

With two kids in high school getting ready to head off to college, Jeff knows a dollar doesn't go as far as it used to. As family budgets are being stretched to the limit by the soaring cost of gas, childcare, and daily necessities, central Illinois families need an advocate like Jeff working for them in the Illinois Senate.

While families like yours struggle to make ends meet, Springfield politician's tax-and-spend policies have led to record government spending, the largest budget in the state's history, and $1 billion in tax hikes. No wonder Illinois is the nation's least tax-friendly state! This cycle of tax and spend is simply unsustainable.

In Springfield, Jeff will be the champion Central Illinois families need, pushing to cut taxes and relieve the burden on families. He will work to cut government spending and streamline government operations to make sure your tax dollars aren't wasted. He will advocate for policies that support families and foster economic prosperity for all.


Safe Streets

Nobody wants to feel unsafe in their homes. Still, while crime in Illinois has surged in recent years, Springfield politicians have made it worse, pushing dangerous "catch and release" policies that put the rights of criminals ahead of your family's safety. At the same time, they've made it harder and more dangerous for police officers to do their jobs.

Jeff knows ensuring safe communities requires holding criminals accountable and supporting law enforcement. In the Illinois Senate, he is committed to reversing soft-on-crime policies that endanger our families. Jeff will advocate for laws that genuinely hold criminals accountable while supporting our law enforcement officers.


Empower Parents & Improve Education

With two children of his own, Jeff understands that parents, not politicians in Springfield, are best positioned to make decisions about their children's education. Children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally when parents are empowered to make choices that align with their family's values and goals.

Improving our education system to achieve better reading, math, and science outcomes is vital to prepare our students for success in the 21st century. Investing in early childhood education and literacy programs creates a firm foundation for academic achievement. Additionally, emphasizing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills, giving our kids the tools to be future innovators.

As your State Senator, Jeff is committed to safeguarding parents' rights and improving our education system to ensure a brighter future for our children.


Invest in Economic Growth & Job Creation

Investing in Illinois to foster economic growth and job creation is crucial. It lays the foundation for thriving communities where Illinoisans can flourish. Cultivating an atmosphere that encourages entrepreneurship and celebrates innovation not only spurs economic activity but also opens doors to opportunity.

Jeff is committed to backing policies that reduce regulatory red tape, cut taxes for job creators and individuals, advance workforce development, and breathe new life into local economies. He understands that by prioritizing economic growth and job creation, we can empower individuals to attain financial security, fortify communities, and pave the way for a brighter future in Illinois.
