<h2>Actions speak louder than campaign slogans.</h2><h4>That’s why Paul refuses big-money corporate PAC dollars and has earned the support of local workers throughout the district.</h4><span class="image image-base image-right" style="width: 25%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/f55b3c6c-a3e4-4574-b22c-b7d33def2cb5/303093cd-e5e7-4d05-9980-a549ae880199/303093cd-e5e7-4d05-9980-a549ae880199.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C500%2C500&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="25" variant="base"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><h5>He’s proud to be endorsed by the Illinois AFL-CIO. Because when workers stand together, they win together.</h5><p>Paul’s not here for the mega donors and political insiders who’ve rigged the system — and he won’t be taking orders from them. He is focused on the people they left behind.</p><p>Paul lives in the same community he grew up in with his wife Andrea, a special education teacher, and their two children. He’s a husband, father, and worker. He's one of us —&nbsp;and he’s ready to fight like hell for us.</p>

<h2>Paul's not chasing a title or legacy.</h2><h4><span style="color: var(--color-headline-secondary)">He is running because he’s sick of watching politicians cater to the ultra-rich and well-connected while everyday people get left behind. </span></h4><p><strong>He's seen the damage done by failed policies from both parties: </strong>factories shuttered, family farms sold off, small businesses squeezed, and young people leaving their hometowns behind because there aren't enough opportunities.</p><p>It doesn’t have to be this way. <strong>Paul believes in an America where work is rewarded, not exploited. </strong>Where we expand modern American manufacturing and rebuild our communities with good-paying, family-sustaining careers. An America where veterans are not forgotten, corruption is rooted out, small business thrives, family farmers succeed, and unions are respected.</p>

<p>Environmental threats like pollution, flooding, and extreme weather hit working-class families first and hardest—damaging homes, threatening jobs, and driving up everyday costs. <strong><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary)">We need practical, common-sense solutions that safeguard our air, water, and land without hurting the workers, farmers, and small businesses who depend on them. </span></strong>By holding polluters accountable and creating good-paying union jobs in clean energy, we can protect our communities and build economic security for everyone.</p>
