In family court, shared parenting should be the starting point and the assumption in any custody case. Currently, fathers are having to fight to prove themselves worthy of caring for their own children. This concept is outdated and is being taken advantage of; resulting in children not growing up with both parents, the way God intended it. Learn more
Regardless of gender, if someone is caught lying in court, they will be sentenced to the punishment they were seeking for the respondent. Learn more
I also want to investigate using the services of an organization called Color-Free Crime Free America, which works to bring healing to environments that have had breaches in their police-community relationships. Learn more
The Defund the Police fad that the democrats no longer deem fashionable has caused a lack of interest in the policing profession and an increase in the culture of disrespect for authority. We need to refund our police departments. Learn more
School choice would bring equality by putting education dollars back in the hands of the parents. We will offset some of the egregious tax burden that Illinoians feel. Homeschool parents will not have to pay for services they don’t use and which often do not benefit the state’s children. Learn more
Another solution is to take such recommendations as emphasizing equity and diversity out of our priorities and re-emphasize the basics: reading, writing, math, and the Judeo-Christian history of our nation. Learn more

Once we figure out a sustainable way to pay for our welfare system (by studying successfully budgeted states like Indiana) it needs a complete overhaul to stop generational poverty and discontinue the poor harvesting of talents from those in the welfare system. Learn more
Every qualifying welfare recipient gets one year of full benefits, everything paid for housing, food, bills, and childcare for one year only. In addition, they will get up to 6 months of tuition to learn a trade of their choice. Learn more
I am calling for an investigation of the various ways our neighboring states pay for their pensions, instead of continually raising taxpayers’ portion to do it. We must also investigate how states like Indiana keep from funding their welfare systems and still offer benefits. That way we can allocate money away from programs like WIC and thereby ease the burdens on taxpayers as well. Learn more
