WHY RUN NOW?

Congress Is Not Listening! 

Across this country, people feel the same thing everywhere - Washington is not working.

YOU CAN CHANGE THAT TODAY!

Stacy in DC

Federal representatives spend their time defending positions rather than solving problems.  Party leaders protect power more than seeking common sense solutions. Careers get preserved. Egos get protected. And everyday Americans become pawns in a game of thrones.


It Does Not Have to Be This Way!

This campaign is about changing the status quo. We are about disruption. Disrupt the stalemates, the cultural wars, the corruption, the influence peddling and restore common sense problem solving.  


The U.S. House Was Meant to Be Different

The U.S. House of Representatives was designed to be the most responsive branch of the federal government.  Closer to the people.  More accountable to local neighborhoods. 

House Representatives are charged with being the voice of their communities, ensuring that the people's interest is always represented in federal decision making. 


The System is Locked

But that only works when representatives answer to voters — not party machinery.  When districts become entrenched and party politics becomes permanent, the House stops functioning the way it was intended.  And Congress feels broken.

The Problem Isn’t Voters. It isn't even individual government representatives.  It’s the machine, the money, the system that fuels party loyalty and the perpetuation of a system that is locked.

This campaign is not about blaming Democrats or Republicans. It’s about recognizing that our federal system has become dominated by party preservation instead of practical problem solving.

Too often: Ideas are rejected because of who proposed them.  Compromise is treated as weakness.  Fundraising matters more than results.  Lifelong political careers are prioritized.

That’s not common sense. That’s institutional self-protection.  And Americans are tired of it.


The Way Forward Is Simple: Restore Choice.

If we want Congress to function again, we must loosen the grip of entrenched party control and reopen space for independent thinking. 

Only you can put Stacy McCaskill on the ballot as an Independent for Illinois' 11th District. You can help restore choice and reduce big money influence.

We have less than 90 days to obtain more than 30,000 physical signatures to ensure that an Independent is added to the ballot. Will you join us is making this herculean feat possible?  

WE NEED BOOTS ON THE GROUND and are actively recruiting volunteers to help us knock on 500,000 District 11 doors in under 60 days.  We need a dedicated team of 500 people and together we will make a huge difference in our democracy and in our community.


CHOICE will not be restored with big money and flashy advertising -- it will be won only through boots on the ground, neighbor canvassing neighbor, friend calling friend.  In order to form a more perfect union, only you can make democracy work.
