Neil’s Priorities for IL-08

Standing Up to MAGA Extremism

Neil knows the American Dream is at risk, but he’s never backed down from a challenge. In Washington, Neil will stand strong against MAGA extremism, protect voting rights, and restore trust in our institutions.

Creating Good Jobs with Good Benefits

Neil built companies that created hundreds of good-paying jobs in Illinois. In Congress, he’ll fight for an economy that cultivates opportunity, supports small businesses, and delivers real benefits like paid leave, affordable healthcare, and fair wages. Major employers and jobs have left IL-08. Neil will work tirelessly to bring jobs back to the 8th and Illinois as a whole. Understanding the global economy and finding ways to make companies flourish throughout tough economic times is at the root of Neil’s success—he will bring that same mindset to Congress.

Protecting Medicare & Social Security

Neil will protect and strengthen Medicare and Social Security—programs that working Americans have earned. Neil will fight the Republicans on every battlefield to ensure that the corporate gutting of these essential programs never becomes a reality. Since he arrived in the US, Neil has viewed Social Security and Medicare as economic safety nets for long-term growth. As a business owner and employer, he knows all too well the fiscal devastation that can be caused by generational financial hardships on the workforce. Neil will bring this firsthand experience to Washington with real solutions to not only protect these programs and their beneficiaries, but also to protect the sons and daughters of Social Security and Medicare recipients, knowing that they will bear the brunt of these cuts and thus have a negative economic impact locally.

Defending Women’s Rights

Neil believes every woman should have the freedom to make her own healthcare decisions. Neil will fight to restore and protect access to reproductive care nationwide—and push back against attacks on bodily autonomy. Period. 

Supporting Seniors & Caregivers

Like a lot of immigrants, Neil’s family story is rooted in caregiving and multigenerational support. He will fight to ensure seniors can live with dignity and security, and that caregivers are paid fairly, treated with respect, and valued as a key part of America’s economic security.

Protecting the Environment

Not only is Neil an innovator and business leader, but he is also a father and an uncle. He sees the impacts of climate change and understands the urgency of taking action. In Congress, Neil will support clean energy investments, restore environmental protections, and build a sustainable future for the next generation.
