Cura Personalis in Congress w/ Matt Conroy (IL5)

Care for the entire being, be a man or woman for others. In this conversation, Matt Conroy, candidate for Illinois’s 5th Congressional District, breaks down why the United States is falling behind countries like China when it comes to infrastructure, clean energy, and long-term economic planning. He argues that America’s biggest threat isn’t another nation, but our own refusal to update aging systems and political mindsets that no longer meet the moment.

Matt talks about what he’s seeing on the ground in IL-05, from affordability pressures to outdated transit and energy grids that hurt both families and businesses.

Throughout the conversation, Matt discusses why he chose to run against an entrenched incumbent, how corporate money shapes congressional priorities, and why younger, working-class voices are essential in shaping the country’s future. He closes with a hopeful vision of a more responsive, modern, people-centered government, one capable of meeting the challenges of this century rather than the last.
