Another great night connecting with our community! This campaign is only possible because of grassroots support from our neighbors, and I will continue working around the clock to earn your vote and your support. Good governance begins with meeting people where they are.

Thank you, Near North Unity Program, for allowing me to share my story with our neighbors on the Near North Side. I really appreciated the thoughtful questions about supporting community violence intervention programs and grassroots change.

"At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division."

Today we honor the legacy of civil rights pioneer Rev. Jesse Jackson. Our hearts are with his loved ones.

On this Presidents’ Day, we reflect on what true leadership for this country means – selfless public servitude, compassion, and a vision for a future that lifts us all up, together.

β€œI shall, when the time comes, try to do right, in view of all the lights then before me.”

Happy birthday to former Congressman for Illinois’ 7th District, Abe Lincoln, whose legacy remains a beacon of hope for Illinoisans and Americans everywhere.

President Trump’s post last night was one of the most disgusting, outrageous, and blatantly racist displays I’ve ever seen. This depravity shows there is no low with him and his own party has a moral obligation to call this out.

Had a fantastic time last night connecting with voters & neighbors at our Fulton Market meet & greet!

I'm grateful for the opportunity to hear directly from our community about what matters most to them & being able to share my plan for a safer, stronger, & more affordable future for IL07.

ICE is creating the very violence in our streets that it claims to be cracking down on.Β It's obvious that cruelty is the point. We need accountability, honesty, and justice now. Enough is enough.

Today's deadly shooting in Minneapolis is appalling. President Trump is empowering ICE to shoot first and ask questions later. That is not policing or border enforcement, it is intimidation that evades accountability and dodges the rule of law.

β€œWe must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, whose legacy of courage & conviction offers hope in a moment of darkness. His dream reminds us that real progress towards equality & justice is an action we must pursue together.
