Building coalitions.
Implementing solutions.
Pat Dowell is ready to deliver on day one.
Vote June 28, 2022
Our country’s strength is grounded in our ability to work together.
As a trusted leader with a proven record of working across the aisle to deliver for her constituents, Alderman Pat Dowell is a workhorse, not a show horse.
Illinois’ First District needs a problem solver who is passionate about building every corner of the district, especially those communities long forgotten.
That’s Pat: a qualified, experienced public servant who is ready to get to work on our country’s toughest problems.
ISSUES
Fostering Economic Development
I will work every day to ensure all the communities of the First District receive their fair share of federal resources.
I look forward to helping businesses, especially minority and women-owned small businesses, reach their full potential.
Strengthening and Protecting Voting Rights
It should be easier for every eligible voter to participate and every vote should be counted fairly. I will sponsor legislation that safeguards voting rights and access and work with civil society groups and local election authorities to increase voter education.
Securing Healthcare
for All
Healthcare is a human right, period. The richest country in the world should not have the most expensive and least accessible healthcare. As your Congresswoman, I will lead the fight for every person to have affordable, quality healthcare and protect Medicare.
Preventing
Gun Violence
Curbing the gun violence epidemic is a priority.
Everyone deserves to be safe in their home, neighborhood, and school – and everyone means everyone, no exceptions.
We must protect neighbors from senseless violence by getting illegal guns off the street.
You don’t have to wonder what kind of Congresswoman Pat Dowell will be – look at what she has done.
