Help us campaign today for a better tomorrow!
I’m running for Congress because I’ve spent my career on the ground—witnessing firsthand how policies made in Washington often miss the people they’re meant to serve. Whether I was advocating for families in crisis, helping residents cut through red tape, or delivering vital resources to neighborhoods too often overlooked—I’ve been in the trenches, doing the work that matters.
I’m a proud Southsider, born and raised right here in the 2nd District. I’m a husband to my wife, Stephanie, and a father to our two children, Jace and Parker. I come from a legacy of service. My grandmother, Carol Parker, was a fierce advocate for our community. In Altgeld Gardens, she helped ignite a movement that brought global attention to environmental justice. That same fire lives in me.
Leading the Solution Summit, the I Am Campaign, and the Young Professional Panel Tour, were all part of my efforts to organize youth and curb violence through grassroots actions —I’ve always believed that real change starts from the bottom up. I’ve never needed a title to fight for what’s right.
But I also know this: we need leaders in Washington who understand what it means to fight for every single win. Leaders who know the difference between political promises and lived reality. Leaders who listen before they speak. Who work beyond the headlines. And who never forget who they’re accountable to.
I’m not running for a title. I’m running because our communities deserve more—and I’m ready to offer FRESH VISION AND NEW ENERGY for Illinois.
I’m running to put everyday people—especially those long ignored—at the center of policymaking.
• I believe Washington too often talks about our communities, not with them.
• My work has always been on the ground, serving families and fighting through red tape to deliver real results.
I will fight for federal funding to provide tax relief for homeowners in the 2nd District who are being crushed by high property taxes.
• I support investments in affordable housing, wealth-building programs for working families, and protections against displacement.
I support a holistic approach to public safety—one that includes mental health services, youth programs, economic opportunity, restorative justice, a strong re-entry initiative for returning citizens, and police & Community relations.
• I believe safer neighborhoods come from investment, not just enforcement.
I believe every child deserves access to a quality education, regardless of their ZIP code.
• I am committed to fully funding public schools, closing opportunity gaps, and expanding programs for youth development.
• I want to expand access to success by advocating to use financial aid for trades, and certification such as cosmetology, barbering, and real estate.
The current administration plan is to cut access to Medicaid and Medicare I will fight to protect it and fight to lower prescription drug costs.
• I believe women should have the right to choose what to do with their bodies.
• I will fight to expand access to mental health services and trauma recovery, the things that prevent people from showing up in the world as their best self.
I’m an advocate for environmental justice in communities facing pollution and disinvestment.
• I support a just transition to clean energy that creates jobs and protects public health.
I support automatic voter registration, expanded early voting, and protection against voter suppression.
• I will stand up against the current administration plan to divide this nation, and do away with due process.
• I will be a vocal advocate and hold the current administration accountable for unconstitutional acts, and fight against policies laid out in project2025
I support equal pay for women, raising the federal minimum wage, protecting unions, and expanding workforce training and apprenticeships.
• I want to ensure every worker has a fair shot at economic stability and mobility.
