“Housing costs are rising faster than paychecks. Margaret raised her family in DuPage County, so it's personal — ours should not be a community that prices out young families, seniors, and the workers our businesses rely on.”
(Campaign website (delarosaforillinois.com)) “Margaret believes we can keep vulnerable populations safe from gun violence while respecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. She supports universal background checks and expanding common sense gun safety policies, especially those that prioritize the safety of children.”
(Campaign website (delarosaforillinois.com)) “Climate change is already affecting Illinois — through hotter summers, heavier storms, and rising insurance premiums. Margaret believes we have a responsibility to act, and an opportunity to build a cleaner economy that works for everyone.”

“As Governor, he will work to fully reopen the economy and our schools, attract new business, and fuel job creation in Illinois.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign Themes)) “Illinois, maybe more than any other state, needs REAL people to represent them in the State House. Machine politics and single-party rule have created a fortress of unaccountability and the "group think" of the political class, means who we have in Springfield, quit listening to us years ago.”
(Campaign website (trussellforillinois.com)) “Will you stand with me in this fight? Together, we can make a difference and your early support will send a message that accountability, balance and common sense can be a part of how Illinois is run.”
