One person can make a difference by working well with others says Rumler (D-Moline). Running a very grassroots, volunteer driven campaign, Rumler believes in something his parents taught him, &ldquo;if you have an opinion voice it, if you want to see something changed, do something about it.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>  <!--more--> Rumler&rsquo;s changes include&nbsp; securing more funds for the Quad Cities and gaining trust back in the state of Illinois government. The Quad Cities received $92 million which sound like a lot, Rumler says but other areas with similar populations like Peoria ($120 million), Decatur ($170 million), Champaign ($200 million), and Rockford ($260 million) received a lot more on a $25 billion capitol bill.<br \/> &ldquo;The Q-C area got the short end of the stick that goes back to our representation,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;That deals with building those relationships with your colleagues and credibility.&rdquo; <\/p><div id=\"holaa-3549332272\" class=\"holaa-ad-inside-articles-2\" style=\"margin-top: 2px;margin-bottom: 2px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"holaa-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/yourlifeiowa.org\/learn\/drugs\/prescription-drugs-are-still-drugs?&#038;utm_campaign=FY2026_SPFRx_PrescriptionDrugs&#038;utm_content=Solo_Debe&#038;utm_medium=display&#038;utm_source=INA%20Spanish\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"287-10562_SPFRx_PrescriptionDrugs_PushBottle_StaticBanner_Spanish_v2_Solo Debe_300x250\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/287-10562_SPFRx_PrescriptionDrugs_PushBottle_StaticBanner_Spanish_v2_Solo-Debe_300x250.jpg\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div><br style=\"clear: both; display: block; float: none;\"\/>\n<p> Through his work at the Chamber of Commerce Rumler is hoping for funds to bring Amtrak to the Quad Cities with a direct route from Chicago. Rumler also stated the importance of getting the Western Illinois Quad City Campus which would cost about $75 million for a true campus, he said. The five counties in the district, Henry, Mercer, Whiteside, Carroll, and Rock Island County would receive the same type of constituent service if he were elected. <\/p>\n<p> On the Roadway Safety and Mandatory Insurance Act (HB 1100), which would have given the undocumented a driving certificate, Rumler said he could not support the bill. &ldquo;it does a great disservice to the people who follow the laws and came here legally,&rdquo; he said. <\/p>\n<p> Rumler said that the undocumented population, already here should be showed the process of becoming a citizen, getting a driver&rsquo;s license, and not making the issue about mass deportation. On English as a Second Language (ESL) programs, Rumler said Ericsson School in Moline, is a great example of success. He noted English Learner Programs (ELL) that adapts the language known with English to make sure that no one falls behind. <\/p>\n<p> For fun, Rumler likes to spend time with his family, friends, and play golf. His favorite book is a book on Afghan culture &ldquo;The Kite Runner&rdquo; and his favorite movie &ldquo;The Good Shepard&rdquo;.&nbsp; His favorite quote is The Serenity Prayer, &ldquo;God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference.&rdquo;  <\/p><div id=\"holaa-3930860017\" class=\"holaa-ad-inside-articles\" style=\"margin-top: 2px;margin-bottom: 2px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"holaa-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/hhs.iowa.gov\/health-prevention\/diabetes-prevention-management\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Diabetes Spanish 300&#215;250\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Diabetes-Spanish-300x250-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div><br style=\"clear: both; display: block; float: none;\"\/>\n<div id=\"holaa-3436066578\" class=\"holaa-after-content\" style=\"margin-top: 2px;margin-bottom: 2px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"holaa-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.desmoinesperformingarts.org\/whats-on\/series\/summerarts\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"HI-SummerSeries-300&#215;250-SP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HI-SummerSeries-300x250-SP.jpg\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citing nothing has happened and a lack of progress in education funding, health care, the capitol bill (the state bill that determines the allocation of funds for the year), and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":876,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"es","enabled_languages":["en","es"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"es":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
