Calvin Coleman Announces Candidacy for Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District
DWIGHT, IL – Today, Calvin Coleman proudly announces his candidacy for US House of Representatives for Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District, pledging to bring bold, commonsense leadership to Washington. With a mission to end corporate corruption, rebuild forgotten communities, and restore unity in a divided nation, Coleman is running to ensure government serves the people, not special interests.
“Too many communities in our district have been left behind, while corporate interests and political elites call the shots,” said Coleman. “I’m running to fight for every American’s right to health, opportunity, and dignity. It’s time for principled leadership that puts people first and bridges divides with real solutions.”
Calvin Coleman is running for Congress with a bold, commonsense mission: end corporate corruption, rebuild forgotten communities, and restore unity in a divided nation. He believes government should serve the people—not special interests—and that every American deserves a fair shot at health, opportunity, and dignity. Guided by real-world experience and unapologetic values, Calvin is ready to bring principled, people-first leadership to Washington.
A near lifelong resident of the 2nd District, Coleman’s campaign is rooted in the needs of Chicago’s South Side, southern suburbs, and rural communities in Kankakee, Will, Livingston, Ford, Iroquois, Vermilion, and Champaign Counties. His platform focuses on economic revitalization, affordable healthcare, and rooting out corruption, with a commitment to listening to constituents and delivering results.
“I’m not a career politician,” Coleman added. “I’m a neighbor, a listener, and a doer who’s ready to roll up my sleeves and fight for the people of this district. Together, we can rebuild trust and create a future where every community thrives.”
With the 2026 election approaching, Coleman’s campaign is mobilizing a grassroots movement to connect with voters across the district. Residents are invited to join the campaign, attend events, and share their priorities to shape a people-first agenda.
