Desi Anderson, a candidate for House District 91, has voiced a commitment deeply rooted in the principles of individual liberty, fiscal responsibility and a belief in the power of free enterprise. Anderson's campaign reflects the values advocated by Illinois Policy, an organization committed to promoting individual liberty and economic opportunity within the state.

“My commitment is rooted in the values of individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, and a belief in the strength of free enterprise,” Anderson said on Facebook. “Let us forge a path forward that champions personal freedom, economic opportunity, and ensuring a prosperous future for our community on the principles that make us strong.”

Aligning with Illinois Policy’s values, Anderson emphasizes the importance of safeguarding civil and personal liberties while fostering an environment in Illinois that allows individuals from diverse backgrounds to succeed through hard work and ingenuity. The organization advocates for effective, efficient, honest and transparent government, prioritizing accountability to taxpayers over political special interests. It asserts that empowering individuals and limiting government power leads to the formulation of optimal policies for the community. Furthermore, Illinois Policy addresses key issues such as reforming the public pension system, controlling property taxes, supporting workers’ rights to choose their representation and focusing on economic policies aimed at creating jobs and opportunities for all residents. The overarching goal of Illinois Policy is to transform Illinois into a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive while upholding core principles of individual liberty and economic freedom.

Anderson underscores her commitment to pragmatic strategies focused on liberty designed to address challenges facing working families and farmers in the 91st State House District. Expressing concern about Illinois veering off course, she emphasized adopting sensible solutions that align with community values. According to Anderson, through her candidacy, she aims to instigate constructive transformations prioritizing Illinois families' welfare and giving precedence to their concerns when making legislative decisions.

The 91st House District includes parts of McLean, Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford counties. The current representative is State Rep. Sharon Chung (D-Bloomington). According to Ballotpedia, Chung will also be contesting for the same seat in the upcoming primary election scheduled for March 19.
