Jason on the IssuesGun ViolenceI understand that to make our communities safer we need to tackle gun violence head on while also addressing the root causes of crime. That’s why I have been committed to figuring out solutions that reduce gun violence and advance justice.Workers’ RightsI’ve always supported and valued the power of unions, understanding that strong unions are key to ensuring fair wages and benefits, safe working conditions, and a thriving middle class.EducationI’m a dad who is raising three kids in Chicago. My wife was a former CPS teacher and I was a former adjunct professor at UIC Law School. I know how important it is that our kids have access to a good education and teachers have the resources they need. Especially in these times where Trump is dismantling the Department of Education, we need a fighter who will stand up for our kids and teachers.JobsI understand that most people are just trying to get a good job that pays the bills and provides for their family. That’s why I’ve been involved in programs to help underserved and disinvested young people get their foot in the door and go to trade school, setting them up for long-term career success. I will take that same approach to Washington, to help bring relief to those in our community who are struggling with rising costs.HousingHousing is the foundation for a strong workforce, a healthy economy, and a vibrant, inclusive community. To reverse Chicago’s affordable housing crisis, our housing policy must be rooted in abundance, affordability, and long-term vision. As Congressman for Illinois’ 7th District, I will ensure that Chicago’s neighborhoods and developers alike have the support and representation they need to kickstart thoughtful housing development.— Jason Friedman's campaign website (December 1, 2025)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
