No, in fact, I encourage it.
The H.E.A.L. Act is about transparency in government, and that transparency has to start with candidates themselves. This is my way of holding myself to the same values I want to see in Congress.
If another candidate in Illinois, or anywhere in the country, wants to run on the H.E.A.L. Act, that’s a good thing. The only way we can make it a constitutional amendment, protected for our generation and future generations, is if two-thirds/~67% of Congress supports it and then three-fourths/75% of the states ratify it. That means we need broad, nationwide support.
The H.E.A.L. Act is not “my” policy, it’s a policy for the American people. So please, share it widely. Even better, send it to your current representatives and ask them to start working on it now. We don't have to wait for any election to start working on the H.E.A.L. Act.
And I’ll be honest: the H.E.A.L. Act isn’t perfect, because I’m not perfect. This is a first draft, and like any draft, it needs feedback, questions, and improvements. So please send me your feedback!
That said, if another candidate also running for Illinois’ 7th District campaigns on the H.E.A.L. Act, well, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I’ll take it as a compliment. However, I ask that the other candidates bring their own ideas and voice to the campaign, not simply copy mine. And if you love it that much, just go ahead and vote for me.
I also want voters to know that I’ve invested over countless hours and personal resources researching, writing, and building this policy. I know how to implement it and move it forward. If this is the dedication I’ve shown as a candidate, imagine the energy, focus, and integrity I’ll bring as your representative in Congress.
