Eric Sorensen

Voters in all three DMA’s will learn that Judge Joe McGraw is a no-nonsense retired Judge. On the bench he called it like he saw it and will do the same in Congress, standing up to extreme politicians and the CCP. Voters can trust him to focus on the issues that matter; lowering energy costs & cost of living, securing our border, bolstering skilled trades, protecting social security, and getting tough on China to prevent them from buying up American farmland.

Modelled swing voters across the district will see contrast mail highlighting Judge McGraw’s wide support from law enforcement across the district along with his support from the statewide FOP. The mail will also show Eric Sorensen’s support of many radical policies including cashless bail, open border policies, and youth drag shows.

Judge Joe is a husband, father, lifelong Illinoisan, and a faithful steward of the law. Joe McGraw has spent his career in law enforcement – serving as a prosecutor, private attorney, and judge. Now, he’s stepping down from the bench to fight to save America for the next generation. Joe McGraw is ready to take on corruption in Washington, and return our district to a safe, free, and economically prosperous community.

When it comes to fighting crime, no one is better at the job than Judge Joe. After completing his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois in Champaign and graduating from the Northern Illinois University College of Law, he went on to spend nearly 20 years as Presiding Judge of the Criminal Division, overseeing a specialized caseload for gun felonies and PATH Court—a full-spectrum plan to combat human trafficking and support survivors. Judge Joe has dedicated his life to upholding the law because he knows that soft-on-crime policies only create more victims.

Joe McGraw’s expertise and exceptional leadership earned him recognition by his fellow judges, who elected him Chairman of the Illinois Conference of Chief Judges. Judge Joe also serves our community as a regular instructor for the Illinois Appellate Prosecutor’s Trial Advocacy Program, and he previously served as an adjunct instructor at Rockford University and Judson University.

In Congress, Judge Joe will stand up to Washington politicians’ reckless spending agenda that is driving inflation and crushing family budgets. He’ll strive to bring manufacturing jobs home, so everyone has the opportunity to earn an honest wage and create a better future for themselves and their family.

Joe McGraw and his wife, Gail, reside in Rockford, where they raised their five children: Kathleen, Elizabeth, Victoria, Margaret, and Joseph.
