🗳️Platform

Real Leadership. Real Solutions. For the People.

Welcome to the foundation of Kirk Ortiz’s campaign - a platform built on lived experience, community values, and a passion for progress. Kirk isn’t running to talk politics, he’s running to deliver results that matter to you.

🔐 Public Safety That Works for Everyone

Kirk believes safety is a right - not a privilege. As a public servant and security expert, he knows that building safer neighborhoods starts with trust and fairness.

Kirk will:

• Invest in community-focused policing

• Support modern crime prevention and early intervention programs

• Ensure law enforcement receives the training and accountability they need

• Fund first responder support services and safety tools

“You deserve to feel safe in your home, on your street, and in your school.”

📚 Education Is the Gateway to Opportunity

Every child deserves a strong start. Kirk will fight for the resources our students, educators, and schools need to succeed, from early childhood to college and beyond.

Kirk will:

• Advocate for fully funded public schools

• Push for higher teacher pay and better classroom support

• Work to reduce student debt for Illinois graduates

• Expand vocational training and apprenticeships

“Education unlocks potential. Let’s make sure every student has the key.”

Kirk will:

• Increase funding for mental health clinics and community care

• Provide school-based counseling and trauma support

“Mental health is health. Let’s treat it like it matters, because it does.”

As both a businessman and union member, Kirk understands both sides of the economy. He’s committed to growth that uplifts workers, families, and small businesses.

Kirk will:

• Invest in local businesses and entrepreneurs

• Support fair wages and workers’ rights

• Expand job training and career development programs

• Fight for union protections and workplace equity

“A stronger economy starts with strong working families.”

⚖️ Justice, Equity, and Representation

Kirk believes representation should reflect the people: diverse, resilient, and bold. He’ll fight for fairness in every part of life, from civil rights to criminal justice reform.

Kirk will:

• Defend voting rights and democratic access

• Champion LGBTQ+ equality and anti-discrimination laws

• Support immigrant communities and inclusive policies

• Push for real criminal justice reform and second chances
