Issues: Women

Will is a staunch advocate for women's rights, including equal pay, fair treatment in hiring, and reproductive services. Women workers, on average, make 77 cents to every dollar made by male workers. Sexual harassment on the job persists throughout a variety of industries, and women's access to health screenings and reproductive services deserves continued funding and advocacy.

What Will's going to do:

Work with the Illinois Department of Labor to enforce federal labor law requiring equal pay for equal work

Partner with 39th District organizations to provide health screenings and reproductive services to women throughout the district

Fight legislation designed to dismantle Roe v. Wade
