JOHN GOODMAN ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY FOR US SENATE SERVING ILLINOIS
JOHN MAKES IT CLEAR, DICK DURBIN HAS GOT TO GO.
Des Plaines, IL – John Goodman, a father, a veteran, and a proud lifelong Illinoisan, announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate, serving Illinois.
This is not a step John takes lightly, and he is proud to be running for office in a state that has always been there for him.
This step is to ensure the government is there for the good people of Illinois.
Having faced the challenges of PTSD himself, John understands the critical importance of mental health support in communities across modern America and is committed to advocating for those in need.
“Twenty-seven years ago, I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force to serve my country.
“Like many I felt a duty to the nation that had provided for me—to provide for it in return.
“I fought valiantly alongside fellow Americans who always have each other’s backs.
“Today, I see the opposite.
“I see Americans attacking each other.
“I see the very values I fought so hard to protect in the Middle East at risk of being lost forever.
“Our rights are under attack.
“Our schools are failing to teach our kids the necessary components to be successful and lead America into the future.
“Our cities are no longer safe.
” Our right to free speech is under fire, and our American identity is being eroded.
“My own son was taken from me by the woke left.
“He confided in me, acknowledging his struggles with mental health.
“We sought help, but instead of receiving the support he truly needed, he was encouraged—without any consideration for how it would affect his life—to transition.
“Desperate and vulnerable, he left to live in a homeless shelter simply because they offered free transition services.
“This madness has to end.
“That’s why today, I am announcing my candidacy for the U.S. Senate.
“I can no longer sit idly by and let the next generation inherit the America of today.
“I want to lead them toward the America of tomorrow—toward the Golden Age of America.
“With your help and support, we can win this race—for Illinois and for America.”
John will release more statements in the coming days to address key policy positions.
He looks forward to engaging with voters across the state, listening to their concerns, and sharing his vision for a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Illinois.
His campaign is built on service, leadership, and a deep commitment to the people he hopes to represent in Washington.
