The 7th District has the largest life expectancy gap in the country. In Englewood, residents can live up to 30 years less than those in Streeterville. That is preventable with the right leadership in Congress.

Thank you @majorityreport.fm for the conversation about my policy priorities.

Honored to earn the endorsement of Illinois Progressives.

This is the fight of our lives. Our district deserves a true progressive who refuses to play small, unites our community, and puts people before profit. It’s time for a new generation of leadership.

@anabelforcongress.bsky.social, a Democratic congressional candidate for Illinois' 7th District, tells WCPT's Richard Chew that her campaign isn't financed by corporate PACs or special interest groups, and she wants more politicians to do the same.

27-year-old Anabel Mendoza used the IL 7th District Dem. primary debate to confront her rivals for being β€œbought and sold” by AIPAC & corporate PAC linked funding, drawing sharp lines over the role of pro-Israel donors in the race.

Melissa Conyears-Ervin has sold out Chicago: retaliating against whistleblowers, using taxpayer resources for personal gain, and siding with AIPAC over the people she’s supposed to serve. And she’s not the only one in this race.

Melissa should resign as City Treasurer and drop out of IL-07.

Grateful to our hosts who welcomed us into their home and helped bring neighbors together. This is what community looks like β€” people coming together, listening, and building something stronger side by side.

β€˜It seemed like time stopped’: Marimar Martinez recounts shooting by immigration agent at Washington forum Marimar Martinez’s testimony comes after weeks of blowback against the immigration enforcement raids that have rattled cities like Chicago.

Marimar Martinez has shown immense bravery in the face of the unlawful actions by Trump’s ICE.

Courage like hers is what we need in the face of this administration’s terror on our immigrant neighbors in Chicago and elsewhere. We can and must abolish ICE.

I’m running a grassroots, people-centered campaign. Our district can’t be bought and I’m proud to be one of the few people in this campaign unafraid of calling out a genocide and rejecting AIPAC donors. #IL07

Any Democrat who does not push to abolish and prosecute ICE must be viewed as a collaborator.

Corporate Democratic politicians defend the status quo, when the status quo is a fascist state.

Instead of defending the interests of their constituents, they defend the interests of capital.
