Republican John Morris, candidate for the 18th District Congressional seat, issued the following statement today: “Being in Congress is a very important responsibility and one has to be very thoughtful in their statements. I support policies that promote freedoms abroad. Congress and our next congressman need to work to make the world safer. My number one priority in Congress will be keeping America and its military strong,” Morris said. “Giving away nuclear weapons is completely irresponsible. The best defense for America and freedom everywhere is for us to remain the strongest power on the face of the earth,” Morris said. John Morris, 39, is a conservative Republican running for United State Congress (IL-18) to succeed Ray LaHood. He and his wife Cindy raise their son Jordan and daughter Taylor in Peoria.
