Mark Walker

Criminal Justice / Public Safety Mark has worked with law enforcement to pass budgets dedicating millions to support our police and community groups improving public safety, all while passing critical criminal justice reforms. Environment / Energy Mark believes we must leave our environment better than we found it which is why he was a proud co-sponsor and helped pass the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act to invest in the renewable energy industry in Illinois and communities impacted the most by climate change. Economy Mark has always fought for working families, and he knows they need help. While the state can't control inflation, Mark voted for a $1.8 billion aid package to help ease some of the pain from high costs and supported funds for mortgage and rental assistance. Taxes / Budget While the state doesn't levy property taxes, Mark is fighting to give voters the power to influence them. Healthcare Access to quality, affordable health care is a right. That's why Mark has helped pass legislation capping insulin costs in Illinois, expanding health care access, and helped the 53rd District gain access to COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. Guns Mark has co-sponsored and helped pass commonsense gun control legislation. But he knows the work isn't done. Abortion / Contraception Thanks to Democrats like Mark, reproductive rights in Illinois will not go away when Roe v. Wade is overturned.
