Commonsense, Responsible Change

Why I'm Running

Like you, home means everything to me — my family, my neighborhood, our community, and our country. They shaped who I am. And like so many of you, I worry about the threats we’re facing today.

That’s why I’m running for Congress.

We see the chaos and feel the strain. We worry about threats to our democracy; rising costs to everything; access to healthcare, good jobs, strong schools; and the future we’re leaving our children.

I believe the only way forward is leading through commonsense, responsible change.

Our working families are being squeezed from every direction — childcare, elder care, disabled care, healthcare, housing, and everyday essentials. Too many families are working hard, doing everything right, and still struggling to get ahead.

We must reinvest in the American Dream.

As a small-business entrepreneur, lifelong educator, military mom, and daughter of immigrants, I’ve spent my life solving problems, not creating them. I believe in practical, responsible solutions rooted in experience — not political theater.

  • I am motivated to run because of our collective frustration with the lack of commonsense problem-solving in our government. Instead of recklessly cutting the critical programs our families depend on, we should reimagine how government can function more effectively to better meet the needs of all of our communities.
  • I believe that the government’s role is to take care of the big stuff — national security, border security, economic security, and health security — so everyone has the freedom to live their lives, raise their kids, and plan for the future.
  • Now more than ever, we need pragmatic, results-driven strategies to invest in the American Dream and build a stronger, fairer economy that works for all Americans.
  • I’m committed to fighting for practical, efficient solutions that protect our Freedoms and enhance Opportunity, Education, Dignity, and Security for every American.

Meet Sanjyot (San-jote – rhymes with vote!)

I’m a pragmatic workhorse who has dedicated my life to rolling up my sleeves, working hard, and collaborating with people from all backgrounds to solve tough problems. 

I grew up in Des Plaines, and my parents instilled in me the values of community, citizenship, and service along with a deep pride in the promise of America.

I spent my career building things—companies, partnerships, jobs, and a family. As a single military mom, I’ve raised three boys, juggled a small business, and cared for aging and disabled parents. I know firsthand what families in our district are going through.

For too many families, the American Dream feels out of reach. That’s why I’m running for Congress—to fight for you and make daily life more affordable, safer, and healthier so that dream remains alive for generations to come.

My Priorities

Together, we can restore trust, defend our democracy, and rebuild an economy that rewards hard work – not just wealth.

 

I’ll help all Americans by delivering policies that:

  • Make smart investments in people, education, vocational training, infrastructure, renewable energy, and innovation to create good-paying jobs and strengthen small businesses.
  • Protect Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans’ programs, and other essential programs so everyone can live and age with dignity.
  • Pass pro-legal immigration reform with faster, fair, legal pathways to visas, green cards, and citizenship.
  • Deliver election and campaign finance reform and pass term limits for the Supreme Court, House, and Senate.
  • Always put people and communities first — not divisive, autocratic politics.

Freedom, Opportunity, Dignity, and Security for all Americans.

Freedom for All

Our freedoms are under attack, and I will fight to protect and preserve democracy, fairness, justice, and the constitutional rights and individual freedoms of every American.

Opportunity & Education for All

We need pragmatic, results-driven strategies to invest in and expand the American Dream for all. I am committed to creating a stronger, fairer economy that helps all Americans reach their full potential. We can make the American dream a possibility for everyone while also sensibly investing in our future.

Dignity for All

All Americans should have the legal and structural protections to live their best lives. All Americans deserve to retire with dignity, and Social Security and Medicare are contracts between generations of Americans that must be honored. As a military mom, I will lead efforts to honor all commitments made to our military families and veterans.

Security for Our Communities

I will advocate for legislation that protects freedom and safety. Everyone has the right to live their lives free from crime and violence.
