Newman vs. Fricilone: 10 questions for the candidates running for the 3rd District of the U.S. House of Representatives

Our country is struggling, Illinois is struggling, and our community here in Illinois’ Third District is struggling. This pandemic, and the tragic lack of any coordinated national response, has left millions of Americans out of work, millions without access to healthcare, and has brought our economy to its lowest point since the Great Depression. My goal has always been to work with my community to address deep economic inequities that are growing larger and faster than ever, and to build an economy that works for all of us. Now, that goal is more important than it ever has been. I am committed to working with colleagues in Congress to fast-track immediate relief for the millions of families across this country who are struggling to keep food on the table and shelters over their heads. As we work to get that done, the next step will be to fight for a stimulus package that will create good paying American jobs in our district and give local small businesses the flexibility and leeway they need to compete, because it’s Main Street, not Wall Street, that will pull our economy out of this crisis. While my opponent seems more interested in defending President Trump on social media, I have a plan to address our struggling economy and am ready to go on day one.
