Illinois Voices 2026!

Dan talks with Paul Nolley, candidate for Illinois’ 16th Congressional District, about his background, the organizations he’s been involved with, and the work he’s already done in the community. He emphasizes youth literacy, faith-based values, and community-centered programs that support the people who need it most.

He also discusses the Habitat for Humanity model and how that approach could help address homelessness by increasing resources and support systems. He highlights the reality that many communities simply need more programs available to make change possible.

He talks about the people of the district, what sets him apart as a candidate, and why his campaign focuses on economic issues, working-class families, and policies that create real change in people’s everyday lives. He presents himself as relatable, knowledgeable, and grounded with a good sense of the world and what regular people are facing.
