priorities
jobs
Families across the IL-14 deserve good, high-paying jobs and a strong local economy. In order for the economy to work for all of our families, we need a broad approach to job creation. We need to invest in small businesses; we need to stop the layoffs; we need to embrace the freelance and gig economy; we need to incentivize employers to hire out-of-work or underemployed individuals; and we need to invest in new and emerging sectors that can generate jobs for the 21st century.
health care
Every American has the right to high quality, affordable health care. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, we saw a historic drop in the uninsured rate, which means millions of families no longer have to worry about being one bad diagnosis away from bankruptcy. In the 14th district, 37,000 hard working folks have coverage through Obamacare. Lauren is committed to ensuring that these Illinoisans maintain the coverage they need.
family
Lauren firmly believes that every child in the 14th district should have the access to an excellent public education. She is unwavering in her support for continued investment in our local schools, and recognizes the need for continued attention in support of affordable higher education.
