Tillman statements
"Biden's absolute failures on the world stage have endangered Americans' security, reduced America's credibility and standing, and weakened the world in extraordinary ways. To make it worse, they removed a rebounding economy and have American families with high inflation and American workers losing jobs. That is why I am running for the GOP nomination for US Senate."
"The Senate is the key to uniting our Country. While Illinois is considered a safe Blue State, because of the stranglehold the Democrats have on Black voters in Cook County, the State is much more diverse. Illinois voters want a balance to the one-party rule that ignores the rest of the State."
"A year after the Biden Administration abandoned the successful America First policies, the Country is rapidly headed in the wrong direction, with Black Americans experiencing whiplash. President Biden smiled during his January 19th press conference while Black unemployment continued to climb at 7.1. He had the audacity to say all he had to do was "look the Black community in the eyes." He failed to address the elephant in the room; Blacks are leaving the Democratic Party. "
"Black Americans are Americans and benefit greatly from America First policies."
"During the Trump administration, all Americans experienced an incredible economic boom. More money was in our pockets because Trump removed heavy government barriers and regulations. Inflation was only at 1%, keeping the cost of gas and food low and affordable. Black Americans achieved the lowest unemployment rates in history, along with women, other minorities, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those without a high school diploma."
"Today, the Biden Administration's collapsed border security policies have resulted in the worst self-imposed crisis on our Southern border. This catastrophe has increased crime in our communities with the flow of illegal guns and drugs. Black Americans' employment rate, in particular, has been hampered because many low-skill jobs like washing dishes, mopping floors, or making beds are often contracted to companies that hire undocumented workers."
