  • "I oppose tax and fee hikes on Illinoisians. In our state we are regularly burdened with higher tolls and higher taxes. Congress pursuing a high tax agenda, coupled with policies that will create even higher utility rates, would make Illinois even less affordable. I am running because we need to curb the spending and stop the tax increases." (conforti4congress.com)
  • "More spending leads to more taxes. I will work to curb the spending in WDC and stop tax increases on working families. When in Washington I will work to push for spending caps to limit the amount we add to the national debt in order to pay for the Left’s radical spending." (conforti4congress.com)

  • "Crime has no place where kids and families are present - or in our communities. It's time to take our country back! When I am in Congress I will work to refund the police and make our communities more safe!" (x.com)
  • "The ‘defund the police’ and ‘end cash bail’ agendas are detrimental to the safety of our communities. They make our families less safe. I oppose releasing violent felons on their own recognizance, and I oppose defunding our local police departments. The radical, left-wing agenda attacking our police needs to end. Sensible criminal justice reforms, improved police training, and procedural improvements are initiatives we can all get behind, and ones that I will support." (conforti4congress.com)
  • "When I am in Congress you can rest assured our law enforcement will have the resources they need to do their job and keep us safe!" (x.com)

  • "We all agree we need infrastructure improvements. So, we should pass legislation for infrastructure funding – not stuff the bill with special interest funding. Bigger bills mean bigger taxes." (conforti4congress.com)

  • "Recent events have brought to light problems with our election processes. We need a photo ID to buy cough syrup and to get on an airplane—we should need a photo ID to vote. I will push to re-implement the need for 3 forms of ID to register to vote, and proof of ID at the polling booth." (conforti4congress.com)
  • "Casten continues to push his Green New Deal on us! As an Energy Consultant, I can tell you the GND will destroy the Earth we all want to save - and do little more than line Casten's and his cohorts' pocketbooks." (x.com)
  • "Gas prices keep going up. This Administration's failed energy policies continue to cancel leases, pushing our own suppliers into bankruptcy! As an energy consultant, I will push policies for energy independence." (x.com)
  • "The Green New Deal that Sean Casten is vehemently advocating for has massive tax breaks that would benefit his company. These government subsidies would line his pockets with OUR money! Crooked Casten cares more about his own interests than his constituents!" (x.com)

  • "I am Pro – 2nd Amendment and believe we must protect our right to bear arms." (conforti4congress.com)
  • "Obamacare has been a disaster for Illinois. Many counties only have two options for consumers, and our healthcare costs have only gone up over the last decade. We can, and must, do better. Ironically they call it the Affordable Care Act, but it has been unaffordable for most Americans and small businesses. Having worked in the healthcare industry, I will push for real reform that will increase transparency in billing, which will foster competition among healthcare systems. I also believe consumers should have more options in the marketplace and their policies should be transportable across state lines. I will work to cut costs by giving families more flexibility in their healthcare coverage options. These initiatives will make healthcare more accessible and more affordable." (conforti4congress.com)

  • "The crisis at our southern border continues to be a national crisis. Millions of migrants have entered illegally without consideration of their criminal or health history. It is threatening our communities by increasing drug trafficking, bringing more criminals into our country, and costing taxpayers billions. This, combined with Illinois’ sanctuary state policies, are putting us all at risk. The federal government must enforce the laws on the southern border and continue constructing the wall."
