"A lifelong resident fighting for the people of District 108 — committed to community, accountability, and a stronger future for every family."
I'm Wancito Francius — a lifelong resident of District 108, and I'm running because our community deserves a representative who has lived our challenges and is ready to fight for our future.
I've seen firsthand the struggles families in our district face every single day — from the rising cost of living, to underfunded schools, to broken systems that no longer serve our people. I'm not running to occupy a seat. I'm running to deliver real, accountable representation that puts our community first.
I believe we can build a better future for District 108 — one where opportunity is real, where every child has access to a quality education, and where families feel safe, supported, and seen. I'm asking for your trust, your voice, and your vote to help make that future happen.
A clear, focused agenda — built around the issues that matter most to the families, workers, and small businesses of District 108.
Champion the entrepreneurs, workers, and local businesses who power our economy and keep our district thriving.
Ensure our public schools are properly funded and every student has access to a quality education and a real shot at success.
Stand for policies that are fair, lawful, and treat every family with the dignity and humanity they deserve.
Heal our communities from trauma and rebuild trust between residents and the officers who serve and protect us.
Reform a system that has failed too many for too long — and replace it with one rooted in fairness, justice, and second chances.
Take real, measured action to end the gun violence threatening our streets, our schools, and our children's futures.
"I'm not running to occupy a seat — I'm running to deliver for the people of District 108."
Beyond the core mission, here are the additional fights I'm committed to taking on for the people of District 108.
