An American Story,Built on Legal Immigration
Candidate positionMax Solomon came to America from Lagos, Nigeria, in 1992 with little more than determination and faith. He pursued immigration the right way — legally, through the proper channels — because he believed in the promise of America and the rule of law. Through hard work and education, he became an attorney, professor, and community leader. Now he's running for Illinois State Treasurer because he believes every taxpayer deserves a government that treats their money with the same care and discipline they use at their own kitchen table. It's not about politics — it's about stewardship.
