From the Jerry Evans Campaign:

Jerry Evans’ Top Five for District 14

“In the name of transparency and getting things done, I am presenting my legislative agenda for my first term in Congress and platform on which I will be campaigning against Rep. Underwood. As her constituents know best, Rep. Underwood is too radical for the 14th District. I am announcing my plan to bring back your values and your voice to the District.”

1. Fix Our Broken Healthcare System

We don’t need government centered healthcare, we need patient centered healthcare. Fixing our healthcare system starts with reducing red tape by opening the market to allow insurance and pharmaceutical companies to compete across state lines. I would reform the system by increasing competition while ensuring further protection for Americans with pre-existing conditions. My plan would allow American patients to dictate the coverage and care they need.

2. Address the Immigration Crisis

Appropriating funding to finish the southern border wall is a number one priority and I will make sure President Trump has what is needed to secure our borders. I believe in creating a simplified, modern path, to allow legal immigration into our nation, while ensuring that we have a secure border.

3. Small Business and Middle Class Tax Cuts

Small businesses account for 99% of all businesses in Illinois. As a small business owner, I understand the burdens that small businesses and middle class America faces everyday. Additional tax cuts are needed to support the middle class and small businesses. I will be a lead sponsor of this legislation in the next Congress.

4. Defend the Unborn

As a man of God, I believe that life begins at conception and every life is absolutely precious. With deep sincerity and care for mothers, fathers, and unborn children, I will fight to end taxpayer funding for abortion. An unborn child is a person and I will fight to protect it’s right to life.

5. End Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is the worst form of modern-day slavery and one of the most heinous crimes against humanity we see today: robbing people of their freedom, livelihood, and dignity. It is prevalent not only within the United States but also throughout the communities of the 14th Congressional District. As your next Representative, I will fight to eradicate human trafficking.
