This morning, Alexi had a great chat with radio host Bill Press about the issues that matter most in the election. You can hear the full interview below:

Bill: Listen as you move around to obviously, not just Chicago but downstate, upstate, around Illinois, what’s on people’s minds? What are the big issues you’re dealing with?

Alexi: Jobs, jobs, jobs...

Today, Alexi unveiled his plan to restore fiscal discipline in Washington, D.C.   You can read his detailed plan over in our Issues Section here.  Below are his remarks at the Rotary Club of Chicago:

I am very honored to be here. I am honored and humbled to be the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate for what will be one of the most important races in the country this year. And as all of us know – whether you are an entrepreneur, have your own small business, whether you work for a large corporation, whether you’re retired – we all care about this country’s fiscal future. I’m here today to talk about some of the challenges that we’re facing, some of the decision that have been made, and some common sense, core approaches towards dealing with our national budgetary issues in the future.
