It’s time to get out and vote!
I had a great conversation with @chrisdmowrey.bsky.social about the ways Trump uses demonization and fear to distract us from all the harm he’s causing. It will not stand. We need to win.
The kids are alright.
Join our people powered movement today! We've got 12 days and we need you knocking doors, making calls and handing out lit at early voting locations. Sign up to volunteer today!!
Kristi Noem has been fired. Good riddance. We have to keep fighting. Now it’s time for some accountability.
Voters in IL-09 won’t be fooled — and we won’t let right-wing groups buy this election.
Happy Birthday Chicago!!
I spent the other day knocking doors with Representative Dan Didech in Buffalo Grove! If you’re in the area, head to Vernon Township to vote!!
I left teaching to organize against the Iraq War and fight for progressive democrats. Now, Trump has pushed America into another reckless and illegal regime change war. All people of conscience must take a clear stand: No war with Iran.
It means so much to have earned the endorsement of Senator Tammy Duckworth. She is a role model and I am constantly inspired by the way she fights for our country with love, courage, boldness and grit.
I'm honored to be endorsed by @shannonrwatts.bsky.social, a leader and activist in gun violence prevention. I'm eager to work hand and hand with Moms Demand Action to stand up to the NRA and push forward sensible gun policy.
These are all early voting locations in or near the district! Take a look at our website for an interactive map with all the voting sites in Cook County, Lake County and McHenry County ➡️
I'm proud to be certified as a Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate! I'm ready to head to Congress to fight for common sense gun laws that focus on protecting lives, not guns.
Great talking to @jenrubin.bsky.social about why we need leaders who will fight for change both inside of government and in the streets
All early voting locations are open. We have 14 days until the election. Let's get out there and make sure all our voices are heard!
Happy Supporter Sunday! Thank you to all of the strong community leaders who are in this fight with me. All early voting locations open tomorrow!!
EVANSTON - Today, U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (IL-09) released the following statement on President Donald Trump’s announcement of wide-ranging military strikes inside Iran: “The American people overwhelmingly do not want another war in the Middle East, and the last thing our country needs is to be drawn into a conflict that would cost lives and destabilize the region. “President Trump’s announcement of ‘major combat operations’ was not authorized by Congress, and I fully support a bipartisan War Powers resolution to reclaim our constitutional authority over matters of war. “I fought for and continue to defend the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which proved that diplomacy, not war, can constrain Iran’s nuclear program and keep Americans safe. Abandoning that approach in favor of reckless escalation puts lives, security, and regional stability at risk. “We must return to diplomacy, uphold Congress’s authority, and prioritize the safety of U.S. service members and civilians above all else.”

“The American people overwhelmingly do not want another war in the Middle East”
AIPAC has spent millions in dark money to slime me and now they’re using another phony shell PAC to meddle in this race.
It’s deceitful and wrong, but their right-wing money cannot buy this district.
Statement from Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss, Democratic candidate for Congress in the 9th District of Illinois, regarding Trump’s war with Iran: “Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have pushed America into another reckless and illegal regime change war. Trump’s unilateral military actions ignore the Constitution and show again why he is unfit for office. Democratic leadership must be clear in its united condemnation of this war, and Congress must use its authority to stop this insanity while moving toward impeaching Trump before he sparks a wider conflict. “Instead of supporting the Iranian people as they bravely rise up and seek change, Trump has abandoned diplomacy and put our service members and civilians at risk. He walked away from negotiations and tore up the Iran nuclear deal. Step by step, he has led us into an unnecessary war. “Now Trump has committed our nation and our troops to another conflict with no clear objective and no exit strategy. At a time when Americans are demanding lower costs, more accessible health care, and real investment in infrastructure, he is diverting taxpayer dollars to an illegal and unnecessary foreign war that puts us all in danger. “Congress must immediately return to vote on and pass a War Powers Resolution, and use every other tool available to stop this escalation. All people of conscience must take a clear stand: no war with Iran.”

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have pushed America into another reckless and illegal regime change war. Instead of supporting the Iranian people as they bravely rise up, Trump’s abandonment of diplomacy puts our service members and innocent civilians in harm’s way. All people of conscience must take a clear stand - NO WAR WITH IRAN.
If we want life to be affordable we need to elect leaders who will fight and win.
AIPAC and its right-wing backers are pouring millions of dollars into attack ads against me.
Don't be fooled by their slimy ads.

In this moment, we need leaders who are fighting in government and on the streets with the people they represent. I’m the only candidate in this race that has done both.

I am honored to have earned the endorsement of the Illinois AFL-CIO, an organization that fights to fix our rigged economy and rebuild a government that works for the people. I look forward to partnering with them to win this election and deliver real results for workers in Congress!
