Please watch this 2-minute video. I have largely ignored my thin-skinned opponent, Joe Berning, but the people of Northwest Illinois deserve to see how he acts when someone tells him no as he begs for petition signatures! On two separate days, Joe went into the same business in Elizabeth seeking petition signatures. Two different women, including the owner, declined to sign. He refused to accept their answers.

Proud to be endorsed by the Sheriffs of Illinois PAC. Our sheriffs serve as the top law enforcement officer in each county, and I am honored to have their support.

The endorsements that matter most come from the people who live in my district. Still, it is nice to have the largest newspaper in the state endorse my campaign while recognizing that I have never compromised my values, and never will. “Chesney indeed is staunchly conservative, and we don’t support some of his positions, particularly his opposition to reasonable gun control measures.” Chicago Tribune

I’m proud to represent Northwest Illinois, including a large section of Winnebago County, where we share representation with our Democratic colleagues. As you will see, the voting records speak for themselves. These rankings show how our state legislators vote on issues affecting small businesses and manufacturing companies. Talk is cheap. Voting records matter. State Republican lawmakers consistently support the job creators who strengthen our local economies and support our taxpayers.

Proud to be endorsed by Illinois Family Action, the leading group in Illinois advocating for Christian conservative values. I have consistently and loudly fought to uphold these values through my actions as an individual and my voting record in Springfield. Thank you, David Smith and your entire team, for your support and trust.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
