Mike Quigley Email and Phone Number

If the past year has shown us anything, it's that we need to elect people who don't just talk about "change," but can actually deliver it.That's why I'm running for Congress.Throughout my career I've fought to make government more accountable and efficient. I've pushed for lower taxes and common sense fiscal policies. I've made the environment a top priority. And I've promoted equal rights for all.We're facing a fiscal crisis the likes of which we've never seen before. President Obama has the courage and vision to fix our broken economy. As a proven leader who has delivered change, I can help him put our country back on the right track. I support an immediate Economic Stimulus bill to create jobs now and to invest in infrastructure to serve our energy, transportation and communications needs for decades to come. I will push for transparency so that the American people can see exactly how their money is being spent and to whom it has been given. I believe that Congress must provide a tax cut for working families who are struggling right now. I will work to increase unemployment benefits and extend food stamp and COBRA benefits. As Commissioner, I never voted for a tax hike, and I’ll fight to cut your taxes in Congress. Like I’ve done for Cook County, I will fight to make sure that government contracts are competitive and will oppose wasteful, pork barrel spending. I will work with President Obama to help ignite the Green Job revolution in this country. I support tax credits for hybrid and electric cars and will fight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.I proudly support workers' right to organize and will immediately cosponsor the Employee Free Choice Act. I support civil rights and equal treatment of all Americans and am staunchly pro-choice.
