Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Stone has spent his life bringing people together to solve problems at hand. Stone attended the University of Chicago and got his Ph.D in political science at Harvard University. Stone then returned to his hometown where he served in state congress until the age of 30, when he was elected to the United States senate to represent the state of Illinois, becoming the youngest senator in the history of the United States. Stone built his campaign on uniting his constituents rather than dividing them, maintaining a strong national defense, and putting money back into the pockets of Americans through the decrease of taxes. Stone’s number one priority is uniting the American people, and he has used his experience to get himself to where he is today.
