How Can I Help You?

Key Issues

View my positions on various issues that are important to the 16th District and my work in Congress.

Agriculture

Illinois is home to the world's most productive farmers, as was seen in 2014 when our farmers harvested record amounts of corn and soybeans.

Budget

I am committed to working with my colleagues to end Washington's culture of reckless spending.

Energy

As a member of the Committee on Energy & Commerce, I have been able to gain firsthand experience in the energy issues facing our nation.

Foreign Affairs

As a veteran of Afghan and Iraqi combat operations, I have firsthand knowledge of and care deeply about the turmoil in the Middle East.

Health Care

I believe we must continue the hard work of improving our healthcare system so it is more accessible and affordable for all Americans.

Immigration

The United States is a nation made up of immigrants and I support common-sense reform to the laws and regulations by which people legally enter our country.

Jobs & The Economy

My first priority as your Congressman is to fight for our nation’s job creators and get America back to work.

Manufacturing

Preserving our status as the world’s leading manufacturing economy is vital to maintaining a thriving middle class, a bright economic future, and our nation’s spirit of invention and innovation.

Second Amendment

My stance on the Second Amendment is clear: the right to own guns for all lawful purposes should never be compromised.

Veterans

As a veteran, I care deeply about the men and women who have served and are actively serving our country both at home and abroad.
