About   

I am Tommy Hanson. Yes, you’ve seen me before; and I’m back, again!

Our federal government must make changes, in order to make our country work effectively, efficiently and overcome the challenges at hand. Simply put: America needs to GROW OUR ECONOMY, PAY DOWN DEBT and MOVE FORWARD!

Here’s for starters, what I have in mind for you:

Replace individual income taxes with corporations making up the difference for federal taxes. Plus implementing sensible tariffs and a Fair Tax, for generating revenue for our government. Don’t be afraid of this; because it’s a mathematical formula which will benefit small businesses and you!

Fill ALL pot holes in our streets, with federal tax revenue from marijuana products tax.

CHA housing vouchers made easier, simpler and more accommodatingly.

Tackle poverty and homelessness.

No tax on food.

No tax on gasoline.

Lower real estate taxes.

Lower electrical bill costs.

Lower cell phone taxes.

Stop insurance costs, lower premiums and create more competition.

Bring high paying jobs to Illinois.

Demand residential landlords maintain their rental properties and cooperate with their tenants.

Help first time home purchasers buy their homes.

Interest on credit cards = tax deductible.

Education expenses, tuitions = tax deductible.

I.C.E. will only work in the states that demand their services; This change will reduce unwanted federal services and federal expenditures, leaving it up to each state to make that decision.

These are a few of my objectives; while I believe in being a common-sense problem solver.

Early on in my career, I worked for The Chicago Tribune Newspaper and later for U.S. News & World Report selling advertising space, traveling throughout the Chicago area and eventually all over the country. This taught me the inner workings of media, news and all facets of business, which led me to my current occupation selling/leasing commercial real estate.

President Kennedy made a lasting impression on me, with his famous quote: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”, which is why I am a Liberal Republican – fiscally conservative/socially liberal.

If you have gone this far, please consider joining me; whether it’s volunteering, donating or just giving me a holler! I will always pick up the phone or respond to an e-mail.

Most importantly, please don’t forget to vote and tell your friends to vote for Tommy Hanson, too! I want you to be a satisfied voter in the Illinois 5th Congressional District with Tommy Hanson!

LET’S MOVE FORWARD! AMERICA NEEDS YOU!!!!

Thank you,

Tommy
