The Retail and Community Safety Enforcement Act (RCSEA) is a federal initiative designed to give law enforcement and prosecutors the tools they need to identify, track, and dismantle organized property crime networks that impact retailers, small businesses, homeowners, and communities across the United States.
To ensure that no federal, state, or local authority can compel law enforcement officers to enforce unconstitutional firearm regulations or be penalized for refusing to do so. This Act stands as a defense of the Second Amendment and a safeguard against unlawful government overreach—whether from Washington or rogue state legislatures.
The Law Enforcement Protection and Advancement Act (LEPAA) strengthens public safety by directly supporting small and mid-sized police departments—especially in high-crime, underserved communities. It increases access to federal funding, improves officer training and retention, and ensures departments have the tools needed to serve effectively and responsibly.
The Community Investment Property Tax Deferment Program allows qualified small landlords and long-standing local businesses to defer a portion of their federal tax payments
This innovative pilot program proposes a federal-state-local collaboration that activates when a commercial property sits vacant for 18+ months without substantial redevelopment activity.
Rather than continuing to direct the full property tax revenue from that underutilized site into the general fund, the program temporarily diverts those tax payments into a community investment fund that directly benefits the surrounding neighborhood.
To strengthen housing stability in high-tax, high-displacement areas by offering federal relief to small landlords who provide naturally affordable housing, maintain safe living conditions, and uphold community standards—while preventing forced property sales and tenant evictions caused by property tax burdens.
The Urban Birth Equity Innovation Fund is designed to do just that—by fueling the nonprofits, mobile midwifery teams, and community-rooted maternal care providers that already exist, but too often operate without access to competitive funding streams.
The Birth Center Choice & Transparency Act (BCCTA) is not a government takeover of maternity care. It is a pro-family, pro-freedom policy that restores transparency, levels the playing field, and trusts parents to make informed decisions.
Across the country—and especially in areas like Chicago’s South Side, East St. Louis, Joliet, and Kankakee—longstanding churches and civic halls are deteriorating. Roofs leak. Furnaces break. Some buildings close, not because the faith or fellowship is gone, but because the resources to maintain them aren’t there.
Whether you're farming land in rural Will County or growing kale in a raised bed on the West Pullman sidewalk, you deserve the tools to feed your family, grow your income, and be a part of something bigger. The Food Freedom and Agriculture Equity Act will make sure of that — with dignity, opportunity, and freedom.
Chicago’s current policy blocks many families—such as stay-at-home parents, retirees offering tutoring, or home bakers—from starting small ventures in their own homes.
The Neighborhood Business Freedom Act would reverse these outdated rules, allowing small, low-impact businesses to operate legally—empowering local entrepreneurs and neighbors with minimal intrusion or traffic concerns.
The Parent-Led Tutoring Cooperative Grant Program empowers parents to directly respond to the learning loss caused by prolonged COVID school closures. The program provides up to $50,000 in startup grants and liability coverage to parent groups that form neighborhood tutoring pods and hire certified teachers, retired educators, or graduate students. This policy treats parents as education entrepreneurs, bypassing district red tape while restoring control and delivering immediate learning recovery solutions.
The Vet-to-Ag Accelerator Act is a forward-thinking initiative that equips military veterans with the land access, training, and capital they need to become modern agricultural entrepreneurs. This program blends USDA micro-grants, a new category of land-use bonds, and veteran-focused ag-tech training to open doors for transitioning service members and address both food insecurity and underutilized rural land.
The Skills-to-Cert (S2C) Fast-Track Act is a bold federal policy designed to eliminate the months—or even years—of bureaucratic delays that veterans face when transitioning their military training into recognized civilian certifications. It creates a "Green-Lane Reciprocity Model" that incentivizes states to implement fast-track licensing via access to key federal infrastructure funding.
The Veteran Innovation Voucher (VIV) Program is a groundbreaking federal initiative that empowers veterans not just to retrain—but to invent, prototype, and launch.
The Veteran Trade Acceleration Belt (VTAB) Act is a bold, targeted solution to a persistent national problem: too many of our veterans return home only to face barriers to stable employment, regional economic inequity, and a lack of opportunity aligned with their skills.
To ensure single mothers, especially those facing economic hardship, have access to the legal support they need to navigate complex issues such as custody, divorce, protection orders, housing, and public benefit eligibility—without relying on bloated government legal programs.
The Childcare Stability Block Act is a commonsense, conservative approach to keeping parents working and children cared for—with freedom, dignity, and local control at its core.
Inflation has made everyday essentials harder to afford for millions of American families. While luxury goods remain untouched, necessities like infant care products, menstrual hygiene items, and basic household medicine continue to be taxed—adding up to hundreds of dollars in added annual burden per household.
Stay-at-home mothers are often among the most overlooked yet highly capable segments of the American workforce. Many left their careers to raise children but now seek to return—only to find themselves underqualified on paper, outpaced by technology, or unable to find flexible work environments that respect their dual responsibilities as mothers and professionals.
This Act does not create another entitlement. Instead, it strengthens the free market by helping employers tap into an underutilized, highly capable workforce—and it helps more women feel confident starting or growing their families because they know they won’t be permanently penalized for doing so.
To accelerate research, data collection, treatment innovation, and public health strategies focused on sickle cell disease (SCD)—a long-overlooked and underfunded genetic disorder disproportionately affecting Black Americans and underserved communities.
To ensure that individuals running for high public office possess the mental fitness, emotional regulation, and cognitive clarity necessary to fulfill their responsibilities.
Illinois' 1st District is full of resilient families working hard to provide a better life—but high taxes, underemployment, rising costs, and unstable institutions are making it harder to get ahead. This agenda focuses on creating real solutions for real families—from Chicago’s urban neighborhoods to suburban and rural communities—so every household can thrive, not just survive.
To ensure transparency, accountability, and neutrality in content moderation practices on major social media platforms. This act introduces penalties for unjust censorship, mandates staff bias training, and creates a federally maintained speech protection grading system to protect civil liberties online.
The Federal Budget Accountability and State Transparency Act (FAST Act) is not about federal overreach—it’s about restoring the rightful authority of the people.
