Good Evening all. In the 26 years we have been in business we have remained publicly neutral with regard to political stance. There has not been one post nor one sign on our property, until now. Today I speak of a personal friend and mentor who has dedicated his life to selfless service. We urge you to consider Eddie Perez for IL State Senate. Please read his own introduction here. Get to know him. Give the man a chance. I am confident you will be glad you did. Thank you all for your consideration.
Hello everyone. My name is Eddie Perez. All my life, I’ve answered the call to serve — whether in the military, as a police officer, or right here in our community. Service isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am.
As a veteran, a law enforcement officer, a youth mentor, and a martial arts instructor, I’ve spent decades protecting families, guiding young people, and standing on the front lines for what’s right. And today, I’m answering a new call — I’m running for Illinois State Senate in the 42nd District.
I believe in the values that make our country strong — faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. I believe in backing our police, not defunding them. I believe in empowering parents, not sidelining them. And I believe government should work for the people — not the other way around.
My priorities are clear:
Public safety — supporting our law enforcement and ensuring our neighborhoods are safe
Restoring trust — between communities and those who serve and protect them
Investing in our youth — especially children with special needs and their families
Improving the quality of life — for every resident in our district and the state.
This campaign isn’t about me — it’s about us. It’s about bringing people together to find real solutions, and it’s about defending the values that matter most.
But I need your help. I can’t do this alone. Whether it’s volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word — your support will make all the difference. Together, we can build a stronger, safer, and more united Illinois.
Most importantly, I want to thank God for this opportunity. And I want you to know — if you put your trust in me, I will fight every single day to serve you with honor, integrity, and commitment.
Thank you. May God bless you, and may God bless the great state of Illinois.
