My New Year's Resolution this year is to read 5 books over 2026. That doesn't seem like a lot, but it's something that I don't really do.

Can you believe there are only 11 days left of 2025?! Can you also believe that we are so incredibly close to our year-end goal of 10k raised?!
Listen, with the holidays, it's hard. But it shouldn't be, and just $10 goes a long way in helping this campaign. So chip in today for a Better Illinois.

Tonight I attended the fundraiser for an amazing human (and future IL Comptroller!) Holly Kim. And i can definitely say that it was a delight! There was caroling, there was karaoke, and there was community.
And if it isn’t clear, the primary is March 17th, and Holly has my vote!

Out at the International LGBTQ+ Leaders conference here in DC! Local change doesn't happen in a bubble, but with the broader community. I'm working for A Better Illinois, a better central Illinois, and better lives across this amazing district, and am proud of the work we have accomplished thusfar.

You can't go to DC and not go to the pinball arcade. A quarter or two a game, a soda and a group of friends. Can't beat it.
And yes, the older ones like the 1975 model I'm playing are the best. Something about that mechanical feel.

This Small Business Saturday is a good reminder to shop local whenever possible. Instead of Barnes and Nobles, try TAiLS of a Bookworm or Lit on Fire. Instead of Starbucks, try one of our many local chains like Leaves n Beans. Whatever you do, shop local first!

If I was looking for a house, you best bet I'd be looking at the Everett McKinley Dirksen house. As a coauthor of the national Civil Rights act (as a Republican!), he has always been one of my biggest hometown heroes.

Read a book. Go on a hike. Play a game or binge watch that show. Whatever you do, just relax.
