Rachel’s “Why?”
“I am running for State Senator because I believe in the power of our Illinois government to protect residents and improve people’s lives. Our state and our communities face real obstacles, unlike any we have seen in our country’s history. We must work toward making our communities more affordable, strengthening our schools and healthcare systems, and protecting our constitutional and civil rights.”
Rachel’s Top Priorities:
-
With medical costs soaring and federal cuts looming, Rachel will continue to advocate for inclusive, equitable policies and resist efforts to restrict coverage.
-
Rachel envisions an economy that works for all Illinoisans, where no resident needs to struggle to meet basic needs.
-
Rachel believes that housing is a human right and that our communities can be more inclusive and affordable.
-
Rachel understands the intersections of systemic racism, poverty, and inequities. Rachel will always fight to center directly impacted people and build sustainable, equitable solutions.
-
Rachel will continue to champion evidence-based solutions to our country’s gun violence epidemic.
-
Rachel will work to ensure that every Illinoisan, regardless of zip code, has clean air and clean water - and that our communities are moving toward clean energy, climate resiliency, and environmental justice goals.
-
As Illinois grapples with how to respond to federal cuts and economic downturns, Rachel will work to consider our community’s budget priorities and protect our state’s financial health.
