Illinois has the 3rd largest data center market in the U.S., Virginia and Texas are the top 2. Data centers are already being held accountable to be self-sufficient. I support state policies that will require existing and future data centers to provide and pay for the construction, maintenance, and operation of their own on-site power plants, water cooling systems, and noise reduction improvements, to avoid negatively impacting the local area communities’ electricity generation or costs of service, their water supply, and/or their peaceful, quiet living environment. I support policies that require local zoning and permit approvals that would be free from state coercion and control. I oppose the state’s grant of subsidies to special interests that interfere with these ideals.Local area residents should have a say in where new data centers are built, preferably in industrial parks, not residential areas. Many residents and politicians have suggested that we stop data centers, or place a moratorium on future construction. I support moving forward with data centers to keep pace with those being developed in other countries, for reasons related to national security. I support continued development with the controls I’ve mentioned. Local control is most important. I support equal job opportunities for American citizens: not just for minorities, not for illegals.

I would support policies that secure funding for scientific research to benefit Americans, improve the U.S. economy and maintain high standards to achieve positive, meaningful results that solve problems or advance technologies for positive change. I would not support non-scientific research or activity geared toward serving a globalist agenda, advancing far-left radical Marxist communist agendas, destroying our constitutioinal republic, or intentionally harming Americans like COVID and COVID “vaccines” did. The Obama and Biden Administration’s bad policies damaged our economy and world standing.

I believe in utilizing the U.S.’s rich natural resources to generate energy and grow our economy. I believe changing weather patterns occur over time, naturally, but do not support climate change theories (they have made a lot of money for people like Al Gore but have set Illinois back rather than moved us forward). I love family farms and those currently involved in regenerative farming, to restore healthy soil conditions and discontinue the use of harmful fertilizers and pesticides that have infected our food supply and caused adverse health conditions. Agriculture done right is incredibly important for Illinois’ farm owners and the preservation of its farmland for food production. I oppose the green energy intiatives that incentive coverning productive Illinois farmland with ugly solar panels. They must be disposed of when no longer used and the environmental impacts are as bad or worse than impacts from the operation of former coal plants. I support policies and plans that allow a return to healthy, natural food production and animal grazing on our beautiful farmland. I oppose allowing China to purchase our farmland. Note: China is building coal power plants.

To ensure I am well informed, I seek out information from the experts who know more than I do, and read information from reliable and provides credible sources. For example, I joined a group called Affordable Naperville (AN) whose mission is to keep electric energy costs affordable for Naperville residents. They are attempting to persuade the Naperville City Council to extend Naperville’s contract with IMEA to the year 2050. The mostly woke council voted last February 2026 not to extend it, which will almost certainly significantly increase Naperville’s electric energy costs. ComEd rates are 20-30% higher than IMEA rates.. The AN group of concerned residents is comprised of many experts who have worked in the electric energy industry, or have been leaders in energy companies or on local boards. The AN website it top-quality. My experiences with this top-quality group make me a better advocate for transparent, affordable energy and responsible fiscal policy in Naperville. Citizens deserve clear answers about decisions that affect their utility bills. I support AN’s efforts to make the City Council accountable for fiscal responsibility and energy reliability.

My first thought would be to go to the right source to knowing how to mitigate the issues related to increased measles and whooping cough cases. For me, it would be Robert Kennedy and the expert physicians and trusted advisers involved in the MAHA effort.
