As we sprint to Election Day, we're hosting town halls throughout the suburbs. Frustrated with both political parties? Considering maybe even not voting? There's a mainstream Independent you can vote FOR this election, and I'd love to meet you! Unlike the two major party candidates’ events, these town halls are open to the general public. And, unlike my opponents, I don’t need a favorable moderator or pre-screened questions. Carolyn and I will be taking questions directly from the audience and sharing our common sense plans to lower costs for working families and raise everyone’s wages. Join us at a location near you!

This is how we've run this campaign: one table, one living room, one conference room at a time. Sure, partisan rallies full of people already supporting you make you feel good. But they don't earn you new votes. I'll take real conversations with undecided voters every time. – at Plainfield, IL

If you're in or near Will County, I look forward to seeing you tonight at the next stop of our town hall tour! No moderator, no question screening, no script...Carolyn and I will answer your questions directly. Because you should be able to question your leaders. Speaking of which, JB Pritzker has NEVER held a town hall. I wonder why... 🤔

“They’ve been telling us for years that an independent vote is a wasted vote. Well...how's that unwasted vote been working out for you?" "A true independent is not a fence-sitter....A true Independent is not even against the R's or the D's. A true Independent takes the best of both." He then goes on to describe the same strategy in Congress that we're pursuing in Illinois. We can change our politics in Illinois with just 10-15% of the vote. We don't need to be the majority when we're the majority-maker. Both parties will finally have to compete for the middle. They'll have to write common sense laws and run mainstream candidates. "Not a third party to replace the other two. A permanent check to keep them both honest. America's brand was never R or D. It's Independent."

My favorite story from today's town hall. A Gurnee resident watched last week's gubernatorial forum and thought to himself, "this can't be the best we can do." So he searched online and found our campaign, came to our town hall, and said we have his vote. 🔥

What an incredible organization. Reclaim13 helps victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation heal in an environment where they are safe and loved. An organization like this shouldn't be needed. But it is, and we are grateful for them.
