I am very proud to be endorsed by Sunrise Movement Chicago!

We both believe in the power of community and investing in community, while giving back and making a future that is sustainable for the youth of tomorrow.

Seniors deserve their well-earned rest, not their Social Security taken away from them.

I can guarantee that when I’m in Congress, protecting Social Security will be a priority.

Thank you @peaceaction.bsky.social for your endorsement. Their mission of peace is inspiring, and I believe wholeheartedly in their belief in allocating government funds back to the people.

With their support, we’ll bring the power back to working class people who care about human rights.

Medicare for All isn’t as crazy as they want you to believe.

Even through all this darkness, we are able to find some light. Thank you @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social and @progressivevictory.win, for joining us this weekend where we talked to hundreds of voters across the district!

I truly believe that together, we will win a better future for IL-08 and beyond.

Bernie and I agree, ICE needs to go.

Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution immediately. Any Democratic candidate that refuses to speak out and take this position is siding with Trump.

Families are mourning the loss of their children today because of Trump’s actions. This new war will no doubt take countless more and Trump has made it abundantly clear he doesn’t care.

I am outraged by yet another illegal attack by Trump on a foreign nation.

Trump and Netanyahu are warmongers that are putting innocent lives at risk in a regime change conflict.

The United States must prioritize diplomacy, prevent escalation, and protect civilian lives. Endless wars have cost too much already.

We need Congress to stand up to this President and rein in his unchecked power.

President Donald Trump launching attacks on Iran risks another catastrophic war in the Middle East without clear authorization from Congress or the American people.

We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past. War should never be waged recklessly, without transparency, strategy, or accountability.

Proud to have the endorsement of Chicago Area Progressives! This one is near and dear to my heart—we've had a long history together fighting for justice and equality, going back to Schaumburg Area Progressives.

IL-08 needs a representative who won’t blame immigrants, and who will fight for them without strings attached.

The billionaires of today are taking away from the futures of tomorrow. They’d rather you go hungry or lose important healthcare so that their profits are maintained.

This State of the Union was exactly what we have come to expect from Trump...two hours of out-of-touch lies and hatred.

Working people are tired of being told they aren't hurting while billionaires get tax breaks.

When Trump says "Congressional action will not be necessary." What he actually means is:

"I am doing what I want regardless of the law."

Only seconds into the State of the Union, we already heard our first lies. Working people across this country are suffering under skyrocketing prices at home, at the grocery store, everywhere.

If it’s not going back into our communities, we shouldn’t have to pay useless tariffs.

I could not be more honored to announce that Senator Bernie Sanders has endorsed our campaign to put people before Wall Street in the 8th District.

Bernie is a lifelong fighter for progressive values, and I am honored to take his message from the 8th District to the halls of Congress.

We need to fight back against climate change and make America a leader in clean energy. I’m happy that The Sunrise Movement @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social believes in my message on how to make our country cleaner and safer for future generations!
