  • I support the women and men of law enforcement. We must keep them safe, so they can keep us safe. I will fight for law and order, to make our communities safe and to give law enforcement the support they deserve. (twitter.com)
  • The progressive policies and the destructive rhetoric used by Democrat politicians in Washington to "defund the police" increase crime and erode the rule of law. Recent data shows that Chicago has seen a 36 percent increase in overall crime since last year. The rise in crime is also due to the radical, progressive prosecutors who are not prosecuting those who break the law, and those they are prosecuting are increasingly benefiting from a revolving door system of justice. While cities across America are cutting police funding as part of the "Defund the Police" movement, we are seeing record police retirements and fewer people seeking to join law enforcement.

  • CPI of 8.5% isn’t a number, it’s a real tax on American families. @SenDuckworth a rubber stamp for Biden's failed economic agenda that spends more & produces less. Let’s stop the spending, return to energy independence & provide real cost of living relief to families. (twitter.com)
  • #IL has 2nd highest gas tax in the #US. Feeling the pinch from rising gas prices & runaway inflation, failed leaders want to delay a $1B tax hike & call it a tax cut. Enough! Let’s cut spending, lower taxes & make us energy independent again. #twill (twitter.com)
  • The best way to grow the economy is through a small, limited government that controls spending, promotes growth, and does not overburden its citizens with taxes and regulations. I support policies that get government out of the way and let small business owners do what they do best—innovate and create new jobs. We cannot afford the failed Biden/Duckworth agenda. We need to open America up to business again. (www.kathysalvi.com)

  • As Senator, I will work tirelessly to free American industry and ingenuity to increase the domestic production of energy. We must not be solely focused one type of energy, but instead increase our production of all types of energy from oil and natural gas to renewables. (www.kathysalvi.com)

  • Our current energy crisis was not inevitable—it was the direct result of the failed policies of the Biden Administration. They could have kept us on a path of energy independence and low gas prices. They chose to side with left-wing interest groups over the American people. These radical policies hurt all Americans at the gas pump as prices have soared to the highest levels seen in more than a decade. Until we change course, we will not see the economic relief that businesses and families desperately need. (www.kathysalvi.com)

  • The federal government’s first priority is to ensure our borders are safe and secure. Today, the United States is facing a massive national security threat and humanitarian crisis at our southern border due to the Biden Administration. Tons of deadly drugs flood across the border and into our communities, taking countless American lives. For instance, in the last year alone, the amount of fentanyl that flooded across our border was enough to kill every American four times over—and much of it originated in China. (www.kathysalvi.com)
  • We need the rule of law, not open borders. The Biden Administration is flouting court orders to benefit drug smugglers and human traffickers. We need leaders in Washington who will fight to secure our borders and to keep our communities safe! (twitter.com)
