I’m Mark Rice, your 2026 Republican candidate for Congress in the Illinois 8^th Congressional District.

The American Dream, our freedoms, and our future are my biggest concerns right now, and I intend to be an Illinois-centric representative in D.C., working to restore our economy, our security, and our Constitutional Rights, particularly in the face of attacks on our freedom of speech and religion.

We must recalibrate focus on expanding the backbone of our economy, the hard working middle class. This will be a crucial key to getting our economy back on track. Middle class Americans are fed up and getting drained mentally and financially by a government intent on operating without reform or spending constraints. Our national debt is a national security issue now, and it must be addressed aggressively.

With my decades of experience covering the markets, building a successful business in Chicago, and my passion to give back and restore hope, I believe we have a bright future ahead. My work in Congress will be to embrace free and open markets, reject Communism, and, with your support, restore “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”… for ALL Americans!

Join my effort to regain control of our destiny…and support my campaign for the American People and the people of Illinois’ 8^th Congressional District.
