Building Together
Marsie for Illinois

Marsie Geldert-Murphey is committed to ensuring every community benefits from smart, inclusive growth, so that together, we build a future where opportunity reaches everyone in downstate Illinois.

Building Downstate Illinois' Priorities Together...

Marsie Geldert-Murphey is a builder.  As a civil engineer, she has spent over 30 years building bridges and roads in the midwest.  With a career dedicated to building infrastructure, she knows firsthand how investing in our roads, bridges, and public works drives economic development and creates good jobs across our district. As a self-made entrepreneur, she’s familiar with the impact that public policy has on businesses and the jobs they provide.  And as a political newcomer, she brings fresh ideas and practical solutions for our region’s issues that put people and progress at the center of everything she does.

Opportunity

District 56 has a proud history of creating jobs that make it possible for families to thrive close to home.

We need leadership that understands how to continue building on that foundation, expanding opportunity for all and ensuring the next generation can stay, succeed, and contribute to the future of our communities.

I’ve had the chance to be part of building infrastructure improvements in most of the communities in the District.  I want others to have those same opportunities, opportunities that spark growth in industries like clean energy, manufacturing, and logistics.

When we invest in our communities we don't just move goods, we move people forward.

Education

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. 

Investing in public education is one of the most powerful ways we can build a community where everyone has the chance to succeed. I’m committed to expanding access to high-quality early care and education, supporting our public schools, and fully funding school nutrition programs, because students learn best when they are healthy, nourished, and ready to succeed.

Advocating for the children and families of this district will help us build safer, healthier, and more connected communities. 

By investing in our children, supporting education, and strengthening our schools we are investing in the future of District 56.
Healthcare Costs in Southern Illinois

Healthcare

Everyone deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare close to home. Yet too many families across District 56 struggle to find the care they need or afford the care they deserve.

Proposed Medicaid cuts threaten access to healthcare for children, seniors, people with disabilities and working families, while placing additional strain on our hospitals and healthcare providers.  I will fight to protect Medicaid, strengthen our healthcare workforce, and support reforms that expand access to high-quality care so no one is left behind.

Healthy families are the foundation of strong communities.  Together, we can build a future where everyone has the opportunity to live with dignity and thrive.

Illinois’ best days are ahead of us, but we can’t build that future alone.
