Rights. Reform. Results.
Rights. Reform. Results.
Roman is a Latino Democrat, father, whistleblower, and labor advocate running for Congress in Illinois’ 14th District. Raised on SNAP, Medicaid, and WIC, he knows what working families face and will fight to protect them. He brings experience in HR, staffing, and compliance, and is committed to union rights, affordable healthcare, rural hospitals, and American manufacturing. Roman stands for truth, fairness, and government that works for the people — not just the wealthy.
I’m Roman — a dad, a Democrat, and a whistleblower who got fired for standing up for workers.
I was born in Aurora and raised across local counties: Kendall, DuPage, LaSalle, on WIC, SNAP, and Medicaid, watching my single mom grind every day after crossing El Rio Grande to give us a shot at the American Dream. I’ve worked in warehouses, HR offices, and with small businesses across Illinois — and I’ve seen how corporate greed crushes workers while billionaires profit.
I’m not a career politician. I’m a fighter.
I’ve saved my home from foreclosure, driven hours for spinal injections, and wife delivered our baby far from home because our local hospital shut down. That’s the cost of broken leadership — and I’m running for Congress to fix it.
I stand for:
Employee-Union power, and fair wages
DACA citizenship and humane immigration
Rural hospitals and real healthcare — including dental and vision
Legal cannabis, not broken promises
Bringing back American manufacturing
Protecting SNAP, school lunches, and family farms
No problem to expose the truth — now I’m taking it to Washington. Let’s build a government that actually fights for working families.
No filters. No fluff. Just real change.
My vision is simple but profound: Peace, Love, and Tranquility. I want an America that leads not by fear, but by empathy. One that values community over chaos. One that accepts that disagreements don’t make us enemies. One that honors our shared struggles and our shared future.
I’m running for Congress with a mission rooted in lived experience, fueled by hope, and committed to action.
I don’t believe most Americans are hard-left or hard-right. We are human. We are parents, workers, dreamers. We want safety, opportunity, and dignity. We want to be heard — and we deserve leaders who will listen.
No one should ever have to choose between their health and their home. No parent should have to drive over an hour to deliver their baby because their local hospital shut down due to budget cuts. No senior, no child, no working parent should skip medication or treatment because they simply can’t afford it.
Healthcare in America has become a profit machine—when it should be a promise.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw something rare in American politics: proof that government can work for the people when there’s the will to act. Rental assistance, mortgage relief, utility subsidies—these programs didn’t just help families survive a crisis, they proved what’s possible when we prioritize human dignity over corporate profits.
This isn’t about being "pro-police" or "anti-police" — it’s about being pro-community safety and pro-accountability. We need a law enforcement system that reflects the values of justice, respect, and service. That starts with funding smartly, supporting officers holistically, and holding every department to the highest standards.
Grant citizenship to DREAMers, fund the border with more judges and tech, and protect families from trauma—not just with walls, but with dignity and due process.
Fund public schools first, not private agendas. Support homeschool families with equal access to taxpayer-funded resources. Invest in teachers, universal Pre-K, and debt-free higher education.
