For over 30 years, he has dedicated his career to putting people in homes, strengthening communities, and setting and exceeding goals that were previously thought to be impossible.

 

Chico Perez is running as a write-in candidate for Governor because, as the public continues to lose faith in the ability of government to solve problems, this nation needs an example – a beacon – to show the rest of the nation that bold, progressive leadership truly can deliver for the people. Chico Believes in miracles and Illinois needs a miracle. Compromise- is not an option when it comes to doing what is right.

 

With a bold agenda and three decades of experience meeting and exceeding ambitious goals, Chico's candidacy presents a unique opportunity for Illinois to be the beacon the nation so badly needs.

Chico is running for Governor because he believes we should unapologetically recommit to passing the moral test—to a government guided by the progressive values of social justice, equality and compassion.

 

Far too many politicians are motivated by fear and timidity—they refuse to talk about important issues because it doesn’t poll well; they make promises but are unwilling to upset the status quo to take the action necessary to achieve them. 

 

Chico's career has been defined by setting bold goals—goals no one thinks are achievable—and achieving them. 

 

This campaign is no different. Chico's vision for Illinois is ambitious.

 

Chico has called Illinois home his whole life – first as a student, then as a business leader, a Realtor®, and a Father. Chico and his family live in Peru, Illinois where they have raised his three children and now get to play with his eleven grandchildren.
