Welcome to the campaign to elect Rob Burns to Congress in Illinois’ 4th Congressional District. I am running against the incumbent Democrat Luis Gutiérrez and Republican Israel Velasquez.
We need to make the United States once again of the people, by the people, for the people. Please help achieve genuine democracy by donating to this campaign.
Unlike my opponents, I have taken the Green Party pledge to not take contributions from corporate donors. That means, if elected, I will not be beholden in any way whatsoever to these corporate overlords. It also means that even your small donation of $5 or $10 will make all the difference for this campaign. Until we enact my public campaign finance proposals I still need donations from supporters like you (due to US Federal election law, donations must only be from US citizens or those granted permanent resident status within the US).
I am an enthusiastic supporter of the Green Party and a member of the Green Party of Illinois. I fully support the Green Party’s Ten Key Value and also support the Illinois Green Party Platform (pdf). I urge supporters to become involved with the Green Party and to donate to the Green Party of Illinois.

The Fourth Congressional District of Illinois
The district is one of the smallest outside New York and San Francisco and therefore one of the densest in population. It includes several communities within Chicago and some nearby suburbs including West Town, Logan Square, Pilsen, Monteclaire, Belmont-Cragin, Humboldt Park, Avondale, Hermosa, Austin (Galewood), New City, McKinley Park, Bridgeport, Lower West Side, West Elsdon, Gage Park, Archer Heights, Brighton Park, South Lawndale, Maywood, Elmwood Park, Berwyn, Cicero, Hillside, Westchester, La Grange Park, Riverside, North Riverside, Forest Park, Melrose Park, and Stone Park.
You can check your voter registration status or whether you live in the district through the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners or the Cook County Clerk if you live outside the city limits.
