Joe Severino Announces Candidacy for Congress

CHICAGO, July 30, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Joe Severino, a small business owner for 25 years and philanthropist, is running for Illinois' 10th Congressional District to protect parental rights, stop inflation, lower taxes for working families, women's rights, make our streets safer, and close our borders. 

"After a three-month effort gathering signatures, we've learned that we're prohibited from being on the ballot due to an obscure Illinois election law. This law is one of many designed to discourage new voices and maintain the two-party system. This system, entrenched in power, often prioritizes the interests of the establishment over the will of the community," said Severino.  

"The two-party system has long been antithetical to genuine representation and the diverse needs of our communities. It forces voters into a false dichotomy, limiting our choices and stifling the possibility for real, meaningful change. This system is designed to preserve the status quo, often sidelining voices that challenge established norms and propose innovative solutions. 

“Additionally, the establishment has been posturing corrupt candidates as Republicans to take advantage of a political environment that could favor them. This Uniparty strategy dilutes true conservative representation and misleads voters who are seeking authentic Republican values and policies. As a result, our community is left without a genuine Republican representative who will advocate for their needs and uphold their principles. 

"I’m committed to ensuring that no Republican in the 10th district is disenfranchised from having an option for authentic change. Therefore, I am filing as a write-in candidate. Our community deserves better than the limited choices offered by the two-party system and the deceptive practices of the Unipart strategy. We deserve representatives who will genuinely advocate for our needs and aspirations, not just toe the party line or disguise liberal policies under a Republican label. 

“I urge you to go to the ballot box and write in my name, Joseph Severino, to ensure that our voices are heard and that we can bring about the change we need. Together, we can challenge the establishment, reject deceptive practices, and create a future that truly reflects the will of the people.”
