Randy’s Plan to Defeat Mary Miller
My Plan to Win the 15th District
Winning this district is not about political tricks. It is about people. It is about respect. It is about showing up and doing the work.
Last time, 240,000 people in this district did not vote. Thousands more voted for the incumbent and are not happy with how things have gone. That is not apathy. That is frustration. And frustration means people are ready for something better.
We are going to win by listening first and leading with solutions.
1. Start With Respect. Start With a Conversation.
This campaign begins with conversations.
I am talking to people in restaurants, cafes, community centers, bars, farm supply stores, union halls, and at county fairs. I am meeting people where they already are and asking real questions.
People were promised lower grocery bills. They were promised lower electric bills. They were promised prosperity. They were promised no more wars.
I am asking whether those promises have been kept.
If the answer is no, I offer a better way forward.
I believe you should be able to keep your local hospital open by protecting Medicaid. I believe your kids and grandkids should have access to healthy food by protecting SNAP. I believe your tax dollars should come back to this district instead of being used for political games.
I Am Already Building Coalitions
This is not a future plan. It is happening now.
I am meeting with union members and union leaders. I am talking with truck drivers and skilled trades workers. I am working with local elected officials. I am sitting down with Farm Bureau members. I am connecting with Chambers of Commerce and small business owners.
Together, we are building relationships with community leaders across the district.
We are bringing together people who may not agree on everything but agree on this: the 15th District deserves real representation and real investment.
That is how we’re going to win the 15th District: building trust, relationships, and a coalition rooted in hard work and shared belief in the power of our family farms, our small businesses and our communities.
2. Rebuilding Rural America
Rebuilding this district starts with practical action.
First, I will bring our federal dollars home and invest them in roads, bridges, water systems, energy reliability, broadband, and good paying union jobs. Rural communities should not pay in and get left behind.
Broadband is not a luxury. It allows parents to work from home, students to learn from home, small businesses to compete, and seniors to stay connected. If we want families to stay here and new businesses to move here, reliable internet is essential infrastructure.
Second, I will fight for a Farm Bill that puts family farms ahead of Big Ag. That means breaking up monopolies, investing in local processing, and protecting the right to repair so farmers are not controlled by corporations.
Third, I will protect rural healthcare. While I work toward a single payer system, I will boost Medicaid funding for rural hospitals and create incentives for nurses, doctors, and teachers to work in rural Illinois. Healthcare access should not depend on your ZIP code.
Finally, we must invest in our people. I will expand training in the trades, especially for veterans and people who need a second chance. We will connect them with treatment if needed, provide transitional support, and create incentives for businesses to come here and hire locally.
That includes bringing grocery stores back to communities that have lost them. No one in the 15th District should live in a food desert or drive an hour just to buy fresh food. Together, we can rebuild the kind of local economy where small businesses, including grocery stores, can thrive again.
This is about building an economy that works here, not somewhere else.
3. How We Win
Representation means showing up.
This district has seen a failure to support needed infrastructure. A failure to be responsive. A failure to fight for local priorities over big donors and party leadership.
I will hold the incumbent accountable for both her actions and her inaction.
I will challenge her to a debate in every county in this district. If she does not show up, I will. I will stand in front of voters and make my case directly.
I will ask hard questions. I will demand answers. I will not let this district be ignored.
We win by organizing. We win by listening. We win by showing up everywhere. We win by putting rural communities first.
This campaign is about whether working families in the 15th District finally get the representation they deserve.
Respect people. Tell the truth. Bring resources home. Rebuild rural America. Show up and do the work.
But I cannot do this alone.
If we are going to win, I need your help. I need you talking to your neighbors. I need you volunteering. I need you hosting conversations in your homes, your shops, your union halls, and your communities.
This campaign belongs to all of us.
That is how we win.
