Donna Miller: WCPT 820 Candidate Interview

Richard Chew is joined by Cook County Board Commissioner Donna Miller, candidate for Congress in the 2nd District of Illinois. Miller outlined her congressional priorities, emphasizing expanded health care, affordability, evidence-based policymaking, and voter engagement. Here are a few key points from the conversation: - Miller supports expanding Affordable Care Act access and coverage for dental, vision, and hearing care, while addressing health care disparities and shortages of doctors and nurses. - She wants Congress to address affordability pressures affecting seniors, families, farmers, and underserved communities. - She supports a moratorium on new data centers until experts assess their effects on farmland, zoning, communities, and state resources. "I always say I believe in data, I believe in research, and there are experts who are on the cusp of defining what this new frontier will look like," Miller told WCPT. "And I do think it's in our best interest to wait and see what is in our best interest -- not just for the state of Illinois, but for the entire country. But if Illinois can lead the way on what that looks like, I'm proud to be part of that." - Miller emphasized negotiation, expert input, and sustained outreach to increase voter participation.
