Running for Illinois’ 8th Congressional District.
A very happy Thanksgiving Day to you all! I am grateful for many things; my family, my friends, and most importantly, YOU!

Although we have all been through hardships over this past year, let us be grateful for our strength and how far we’ve come!

I was delighted to meet Mayor Rodney Craig and discuss the priorities and needs of our community, including improving our local infrastructure, strengthening much-needed services for our families, and ensuring the region continues to grow responsibly.

Donald Trump is after public education, and we cannot let him defund anymore of our children’s futures. Public, FREE education is what helped build this country to be a nation of leaders, and restricting that will only bring more conflicts.

Thank you Congressman Ro Khanna for giving me your endorsement! Congressman Khanna is a true progressive champion, and with his endorsement, we are one step closer to bringing our fight to Congress.

I send my gratitude to the Greater Palatine Area Democrats and all the volunteers who helped us collect petitions to secure our place on the ballot!

Being able to meet you all and thank you in person means more to me than you realize. Let’s win this!

Cutting Medicaid should never be an option. Congress does not have the right to play with people’s healthcare, but it does have the obligation to protect it.

Our campaign is proudly endorsed by @trackaipac.com. Our campaign is 100% funded by the people, and we refuse to take money from an institution that heralds a genocide.

We’ve officially made it onto the ballot! I once again extend my thanks to everyone who has got me to this point; the volunteers, the supporters. Our hard work has led us here, and I couldn’t be prouder.

All that’s left to do is to win this race so we can uplift IL-08!

I am happy our hardworking government officials will finally be able to be paid, but as I’ve stated before, this only makes the American people lose confidence and even hope in our democracy.

I had a great time at the Greater Palatine Area Democrats meeting last week! I enjoyed every discussion and conversation about my campaign and our message of bringing progressive change to the 8th District!

My friends, today we honor the brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to fighting for freedom.

To all veterans and their families, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your service.

Working Americans need real leadership that won't abandon them when times get tough. What happened on Sunday was unacceptable.

Don’t you want your taxpayer money to go to something productive instead?

You shouldn’t have to be an ICE Agent to get student loan forgiveness…

SNAP is returning, but with a catch. It won’t be fully-funded, and there is yet to be a concrete date when it will be back 100% again.

My friends, I encourage you to look out for your neighbors. We can only get through this together.

I am ecstatic to announce an endorsement from my dear friend Senator Rachel Ventura! I am honored to know that Ventura believes that we can make a change in IL-08!

We need to expand Medicaid so that our vulnerable communities are protected.

In Congress, I promise to make sure that Medicaid’s coverage becomes more accessible to those in need, and that these important programs stay funded.

Don't worry, I'll definitely fight for human rights as your Congressman!

I am extremely grateful to receive an endorsement from Christ Kallas, and am thrilled to have his support after he ran a campaign that was deeply rooted in service and integrity. Together, we will continue to put working families first in the 8th District!

I am outraged to hear that the ceasefire in Gaza has been breached by Israel. The world is watching and praying for the ceasefire to hold and for lasting peace in the region.

Food prices have only risen over the past few months. Why should working-class families and people have high taxes while they can barely afford food?

I plan on holding Congress accountable and making sure that these tariffs end and build an economy that works for all of us.

Honored to file my petitions to get on the ballot today in Springfield! Thank you to all the volunteers and supporters that helped us gather thousands of signatures.

Congresswoman Ramirez’s endorsement is one of the guiding lights in my fight to be in Congress. With both her and your support, I know we can win!
October 23, 2025 at 9:55 PM
I am honored to be endorsed by Congresswoman Delia Ramirez and her belief in my ability to fight for YOU!
