“I have been on this struggle for many years, the public service. I have worked at all levels of government that you can imagine, and I certainly think that there is time for a candidate in the American Senate to come to the foreground in Illinois,” said Caldwell, a contributor to Fox News and founder of the Caldwell Institute for Public Security.

“My brother’s heritage has become my mission and to save lives,” said Caldwell. “And if this is something that I can continue in a seat in the American Senate, it is worth it to be considered for the many lives that have been lost and the inheritances which must be prosecuted in the state of Illinois and my hometown of Chicago.”

And when I think of what President Trump does saying, “Listen, we do this to DC already. We want to take this to other places across the country. I applaud it. For what? Because people begged a change in the city of Chicago. “”

Caldwell spoke even when a reaction from democrats who declared that the strong presence of the police in the national capital was excessive.
