SWIFT ACTION IS NEEDED NOW.

TO THE 1ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS CONSTITUENTS,

TIME FOR VOTING IS HERE!

THE DECISION TO CHANGE DIRECTION IS NOVEMBER 5TH, 2024. I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.

WE DON’T WANT ANY MORE FROM JONATHAN JACKSON KNOWINGLY FLOODING THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS INTO OUR DISTRICT.

WE DON’T WANT MORE INFLATION, CAN’T BE ABLE TO AFFORD A HOME, HIGH GAS PRICES, HIGH FOOD PRICES, OUR COUNTRY IS IN CHAOS AND DISARRAY! OUR DISTRICT IS SUFFERING NEEDLESSLY.

ITS ALL BECAUSE WE HAVE THE WRONG PERSON REPRESENTING OUR DISTRICT.

OUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS AND WHO YOU VOTE FOR IS WHO EVENTUALLY MAY REPRESENT US FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON, DC.

I AM THE RIGHT PERSON TO REPRESENT US.

I WILL FIGHT FOR US AND OUR FAMILIES TO PROSPER AND TAKE HOLD OF EVIL AND DESTROY IT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN FROM PREDATORS THAT FILL THEIR HEADS WITH IDEAS THAT WILL RUIN THEIR FUTURE.

ITS TIME FOR MARCUS LEWIS.[11]

Campaign website

The following issues were listed on Lewis' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Creating Jobs, Manufacturing, and Rebuilding Our Economy: Our district needs JOBS NOW and Education Grants for our children seeking Higher Learning, not burdensome loans that only make our problems worse. Yes, this is where the Federal Government must play a key role to assist us in getting us to where we want to go. We need our Federal Government where we pay our tax dollars to help alleviate our struggles. That is why the Top 1% has expensive Lobbyists at our Federal Government that only serve "their" interests and you will have me as your intermediator looking out for our best interests at heart at this level.

Investment in the 2nd District: This district once was the mecca of the Midwest in terms df industry and manufacturing such as steel. With the advent of seeking lower wages by companies overseas the area is now awash with residents ready to work again right now. A job making things is a good way to work our way out of the hopelessness of joblessness. I therefore see this as a area of innovation and training to make the next product that consumers worldwide will need.

The Peotone Airport Project: I, Absolutely, DO NOT SUPPORT the proposed Peotone Airport Project. My opposition to this project is simple; there is not one major airline that has signed on to fly into this proposed airport. I don't believe in building this airport without their long-term confirmed commitment. I feel that this land can be better utilized with the construction of an industrial park for a variety of manufacturers, providing thousands of jobs for our residents.

Education: Every child, every youth, every man, every woman has a right to have a quality education. We deserve to be the best for one's self, family and our community, coupled with a first rate education. We are facing an environment that wants to shut off the access to a quality education by closing elementary and secondary schools, and making funding college tuition only through burdensome loans that will haunt the student well into their adulthood.

Healthcare: I support the insertion of the PUBLIC OPTION to ObamaCare. Healthcare for all Americans should be a right, as a citizen of this country. Thus I will propose and file bills to transform the Affordable Care Act to become Medicare for All Act. This is an investment this country should have made for all its citizens after seeing the success of the Medicaid/Medicare Programs.
