Campaign websiteKoppie's campaign website stated the following:Issues   Chad on the IssuesTHE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE   When it comes to dealing with the many troublesome issues we are facing today, the most important thing to keep in mind is that, as a people, we have lost our way. When our country was founded, it was based on the belief, as stated in our Declaration of Independence, that life and liberty come from God. We upheld the value of each human life, because each person is precious in God’s eyes, and we understood that no one’s rights can be violated, because those rights come from God, and not from us.   We upheld virtue, hard work, and sacrifice. Honesty and integrity were expected of our leaders in government, and we expected this of each other as well.   Look at society today, however. Do we still uphold those same values in our society? Do we still expect the same things of our leaders in government, and of ourselves?   The most obvious way in which we have fallen from our once-noble heights is seen in the eld of abortion. Today 4,000 children are aborted in the womb every single day, right here in America. We used to be an example of liberty and freedom to the whole world---a shining city on a hill, as Ronald Reagan described us. Yet today, where once there was life and hope, we see so much death and darkness.   If I am elected to Congress I shall vote for protection for all human life and leave none out. For if we are to recapture our legacy of liberty, we must not casually abandon an entire segment of humanity to the abortionist’s knife. Furthermore, we must not leave mothers alone without the support of the fathers. Therefore, under my bill, deadbeat dads will not be able to buy alcoholic beverages or packaged liquor until they pay up. Likewise, we can place restrictions on their driver’s licenses, so that they can only drive to and from work and keep medical appointments until they are no longer behind on child support.    I need your help with this. I hope you are with me. Please vote for me so that we can make this come true for all the moms and infants across America who need us to step in and intervene on their behalf right now, and so that we might be able to restore faith in our country once more.A TRUCE OF MERCY   Respect for human life must not be limited to just our own shores. We must be good neighbors to those in other parts of the world, too.   The war in Ukraine has restricted food shipments from two of the world’s largest grain exporters: Russia, and Ukraine. In fact, in some parts of Ukraine, the planting can’t even be done right now because the fighting is happening.   Furthermore, the war has restricted shipments of fertilizer from each of those two countries. Much of the world depends on that fertilizer as well.   Millions of people in Africa and other Third World areas face the prospect of famine and starvation later this year. These are people who bear absolutely no responsibility for the war in Ukraine one way or the other, yet they will be the ones who will suffer the heaviest injury of all. We ourselves may likewise face some food shortages here, and we can expect greatly increased grocery bills, in any event.   What we need right now is a Truce of Mercy. We must immediately see if we can mediate a cease-fire in Ukraine throughout the planting season, the growing season, and the harvest season, so that Russia and Ukraine can once again export grain and fertilizer.    We likewise must have a Congress which recognizes the need for this. We must have a Congress which will insist that President Biden uses all of our diplomatic and economic clout in order to get both sides to agree to a cease-fire, at least until the harvest is in later this year. Hopefully, this can then lead to the opportunity for clearer heads and rational thinking to prevail, in the long run, as well.   Chad wants to ensure that Congress will obey the Constitution. He wants to cut spending, from each cabinet department and agency by at least 3%, each year. Since the federal government would need less money, the same bill would cut tax rates. He'd like to abolish the Federal Reserve.   Chad supports the 2nd Amendment. He knows that law-abiding Americans can own guns to defend themselves. He'll never vote for any gun control bills.   Chad supports building the wall, along the Mexican border. He says that ICE should try to arrest and deport all illegal aliens. — Chad Koppie's campaign website (February 20, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

Campaign website

Koppie’s campaign website stated the following:

Budget & Economy

Chad Koppie promises to do more than spout platitudes of shrinking government spending and cutting taxes, and FIGHT to pass legislation that cuts ALL goverment spending 3% per year for 10 years. Every single program. Every employee. This will cause people to reevaluate what is truly necessary while reigning in cost.

Cut spending and balance the budget

Not to shock the system - Congress should cut spending, for each expenditure, by 3%, per year, until the budget is balanced.

Cut salaries of federal offices to be in line with the public sector.

Jobs / Small Business

Fight for a free market economy and real competition.

Fight to end corporate welfare and government discrimination against small business.

Civil Liberties

Stop the encroachment of Federal Government into our lives.

Protect American liberty and independence.

Defend and preserve religious freedom.

Gun Rights

Stand up and fight for the Second Amendment.

Chad supports the 2nd Amendment and is a lifetime member of the NRA.

Drug Wars

Federal government does not have the authority to implement drug laws without a Constitutional Amendment.

Drug laws are a state issue.

Education

The Constitution grants the Federal Government absolutely no authority over Education; therefore, the 10th Amendment applies:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Local Control

Eliminate the National Dept of Education and return the control of the schools to the local level.

Stop Common Core!

Family

Protect and defend life.

Protect traditional marriage.

Foreign Policy

Defend U.S. Sovereignty.

End Foreign Aid - Put America first.

Health Care

Making Health Care affordable again

Repeal Obamacare

Limited Government

Immigration (Reform)

Amnesty

Preserve the Rule of Law - NO Amnesty.

The Kelly (Governor) - Koppie team will strive to repeal the law that allows illegal aliens to get driver's licenses and the law that allows illegal aliens to attend state universities and pay in-state tuition

Sanctuary Cities/State

Aiding and abetting illegal aliens is a felony. Cracking down on "Sanctuary Cities" is a must to get the illegal alien problem under control. Sanctuary cities not only violate federal laws, but also violate the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution clearly delegates the power to make uniform immigration rules to the U.S. Congress.

The Kelly - Koppie team will strive to repeal (5 ILCS 805/Illinois Trust Act) that essentially turns IL into a Sanctuary State by preventing local law enforcement to work with Federal Immigration. They will work with Federal Immigration departments to help solve the illegal problem.

HB3698 SANCTUARY STATE ACT

The Kelley - Koppie team strongly oppose the Sanctuary State Act and will do everything in their power to block this unconstitutional bill and/or repeal it should it get passed prior to them taking office.

National Security

American Sovereignty

Election Reform

Energy Policy

Sanctity of Life

Taxation / IRS

Abolish the Federal Reserve and the IRS

Pro-tax cuts[10]
