Statement From U.S. Senate Candidate Don Tracy on Democrat Debate
CHICAGO - Tonight’s debate made one thing clear: the candidates running on the Democrat side want more of the same, and their far-left agenda is too extreme for everyday Illinoisans.
Raja Krishnamoorthi, Juliana Stratton, and Robin Kelly are all career politicians who have spent years advancing extreme agendas that put politics over people. That agenda has given us unaffordable utility bills, rising cost-of-living, and pro-criminal policies that have made our streets and neighborhoods less safe.
Illinois doesn’t need another politician auditioning for the progressive base. We need a strong leader who will champion common sense solutions, lower the cost-of-living for working families, and represent all of Illinois, not just Chicago..
I stepped up to run for the U.S. Senate because I’ve seen what career politicians with extreme agendas are doing to our country. I’ve worked in warehouses, run a small business, made payroll, raised a family, and helped farmers and manufacturers all across Illinois. I understand what everyday Illinoisans are up against, because I’ve lived it.
This race is about who will fight for working families versus who will keep playing political games. I am ready to defend the American Dream with strength, leadership, and common sense.
