Public sector unions built the middle class. They ensure that the people who teach our kids, keep our streets safe, and care for our sick can afford to live in the communities they serve. I stand with them 100%. An attack on their rights is an attack on all workers. #PublicSectorUnions #UnionStrong

No one should have to risk their life for a paycheck. Strong safety regulations and the right to refuse unsafe work are non-negotiable. I'll always stand with workers against any attempt to roll back these vital protections. #WorkerSafety #HealthBeforeProfit

Happy Veterans Day and also celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Marines! We must support our veterans. From veteran to veteran, thank you for your service!

Automation and AI should empower workers, not replace them. I stand for policies that ensure technology creates more jobs with better wages, not mass layoffs. The future of work must be built by and for workers. #PeopleOverAI #ProWorker

Congratulations to @abigailspanberger.com and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on their well-earned victories! Both served our country before serving in Congress & they’re showing that women w/ service backgrounds are a winning force for Dems. Let’s keep the momentum going here in IL! #VoteVets #Democrat

What’s spookier than an irresponsible budget?

I’m honored to share that the Illinois Federation of Public Employees, Local 4408, has officially endorsed my campaign for Illinois Comptroller.

Boots on the ground, not just words on a page. I’m proud to have personally collected nearly 3,000 signatures from Illinoisans who are ready for a Comptroller who works as hard as they do. With years of fiscal experience, leadership, and public service.
October 28, 2025 at 6:22 PM
We did it! A huge thank you to every volunteer and team member who hit the streets and every supporter who signed. Because of you, we got over 900 pages and around 12,000 signatures! I'm ready to work for YOU to help make a more accountable Illinois! #TeamKifowit #THANKYOU #TeamKiffy

The ongoing ICE campaign in Chicago & the broader area is a deliberate attack on our communities.

This state violence is a profound disruption to our safety and our well-being. It is not normal and must be rejected. I stand with the people of the Chicago area and all communities holding the line.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

While organized labor is under direct attack from Washington, we cannot have a passive defense in Illinois. The Comptroller’s office must be the backstop to ensure our laws are followed and a robust audit, which requires a certified payroll, should be done before any payment goes out the door.

When I’m elected as the next IL Comptroller, I'll stand up for students and schools. When funds are promised, they get released — no delays, no “bureaucracy excuses.” I'll hold the line on waste. ...

A week of action, conversation, and solidarity across Illinois!

From the campaign trail to community celebrations, it’s been a powerful reminder of the people and values we serve. Just some of the events Team Kiffy and I joined this past week:

I was honored to be invited to speak by @indivisiblekendall.bsky.social at their No Kings Protest.

As your Illinois Comptroller, I will be the backstop for our state’s financial integrity and a crucial check against a federal government that has it out for our state.

IT'S SPOOKY SZN! 👻
My team and I are heading to the most spirited event of the season—the Forest Park Casket Races! 🎃⚰️

Come join us on Sat, October 18th, from 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM to help our campaign collect signatures.

Who's in? #SpookySeason #ForestPark #CasketRaces #Volunteer

Today was a great day meeting and supporting the community all across the state. My team and I started in Homewood for the annual Fall Fest, then ventured to the Burgoo festival in Utica, and ended with a wonderful dinner with the LaSalle County Democratic Party. Great day!

I loved traveling all across Illinois the past couple weeks. Nothing is better than connecting with folks who REALLY care about their communities and are looking for positive change.

Trump’s reckless tricks are hurting IL families and destabilizing our budget. That’s why now more than ever, we need a qualified Comptroller to protect our state’s finances. As a Marine Corps veteran and State Rep for over a decade, I'm ready to fight back and stand up for Illinois.
Governor JB Pritzker issued an executive order instructing state agencies to find up to 4% of their budget that can be cut next year as a result of President Trump's budget bill.

Wow -- what a weekend! I was thrilled to be at the DuQuoin State Fair with hundreds of fellow Democrats. Huge thanks to our Southern IL Dem County Chairs Association & the many chairs who work hard every day to organize their communities in the reddest parts of the state. Your work is appreciated!

Congratulations to the Illinois Democratic County Chairs' Association on another successful brunch this morning! Lots of great conversations with our IL Dems and petition sheets in circulation!
