Ellen Corley's campaign for U.S. Congress in Illinois's 5th District is a principled, grassroots Democratic challenge to restore integrity, transparency, true representation, and fundamental protections to our North Side Chicago neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs.

As a dedicated Democrat competing in the March 17, 2026 primary, Ellen is committed to confronting the status quo with courage and conviction. Our vibrant, diverse district — spanning Lake View, Lincoln Park, North Center, Albany Park, and suburbs like Arlington Heights, Des Plaines, and Palatine — deserves leadership that fiercely defends our core American values while tackling the real challenges we face every day.

Central to Ellen's vision is a bold commitment to exposing and rooting out corruption at every level of government. In a state long plagued by scandals and abuses of power, Ellen pledges to champion transparency, accountability, and ethical governance — ensuring public officials serve the people, not special interests. No more business as usual; it's time to shine a light on corruption and demand real reform.

Ellen stands unapologetically for freedom, liberty, and fair justice, fighting to protect individual rights, civil liberties, and equal justice under the law for every resident — from safeguarding personal freedoms and due process to building a justice system that is truly fair, accessible, and free from bias. Her platform upholds the promise of America: liberty for all, without exception.

A key pillar of Ellen's campaign is her strong advocacy for privacy and civil liberties in the digital age. She is determined to end mass-scale domestic surveillance, investigate illegal modifications and theft of surveillance technologies (such as PROMIS, PRISM, Pegasus, and others), and hold accountable those who enable spying, election interference, and cover-ups. Ellen calls for dismantling overreaching intelligence powers, repealing flawed laws like the USA Freedom Act, reviewing Executive Order 12333 on bulk data collection, strengthening protections like HIPAA for medical privacy and freedom, and restoring safeguards against government overreach — all to protect personal data, medical autonomy, and the right to privacy from unwarranted intrusion by government or corporate entities.

Her campaign also prioritizes the issues that hit home for our communities:

• Affordable housing and cost of living — keeping families rooted in our neighborhoods.
• Strong public education — investing in every child's future.
• Economic opportunity and small business growth — creating jobs and supporting entrepreneurs.
• Healthcare access and affordability — ensuring quality care for all.
• Smart, sustainable infrastructure — modernizing transit, protecting the environment, and keeping communities safe and inclusive.

Ellen is running because our district deserves courageous, independent leadership that puts people first — exposing corruption, defending liberty and privacy, upholding fair justice, and delivering a stronger, more equitable future.
