First Trans Person To Run For State House In Illinois
Current IL House 93 candidate

https://www.zoeycarter.us/
One thing I absolutely love about living in the 93rd, is how I can just scoot 10 minutes out of town and see the beauty of our earth.

I also love that the heavens said that trans people belong. 🏳️‍⚧️💜

Today is Veterans Day. A day to honor the people who risked everything to give us the promise of Life, Liberty, and the unfettered Pursuit of Happiness. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your sacrifice. Let's now celebrate you on this Veteran's day.

The gales of November remembered.

Peace to our neighbors of the lakes on this, the 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald.

Federal acts affect us here at the state level. The 93rd district has a poverty rate on average of 10%, and removing vital lifelines like the SNAP program will only increase that rate.

Government is not a corporation and should not be run as such. But the Republicans seem to think it is.

I did a little research on what countries have a lower GDP than Elon Musk's net worth after his pay increase. So here we go.

Indonesia, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Switzerland, Taiwan, Belgium, Ireland, Argentina, Sweden, Israel, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Austria, Thailand,

BREAKING: You are an amazing person, and you can do anything you put your mind to. You got this!

Earlier this week I officially submitted my paperwork for my campaign to be the 93rd district's next state representative. This district has been my home for my entire life, and not once have I contemplated leaving it.

Out at the Tazewell County Democrats collecting goods for local food pantries, and the community turned out! With still 5 hours left of collecting, I'm so proud of our community.

Congrats to the Democrats. It seems like when you are fighting for healthcare, food, and safety, and actually stand up for those that can't speak, we win elections.

Now let's carry this through next November! And don't ever stop fighting. 💜

Today is election day for many parts of the US. Make sure you head out and vote blue, vote democrat, or vote progressive. Whatever you do, JUST GO VOTE.

To all of the amazing trans parents out there, Happy Trans Parent Day!

I'm proud of y'all. 💜

I have not met a single voter yet who has told me that trans people have affected their lives negatively. To most people it's a nothingburger.

There is hope for a more just world.
Today, I feel like we probably still haven't reached the bottom, but it may be in sight.

The blank, dead-eyed apathy where cis people simply didn't want to hear about what was happening to trans people feels like it's letting up.

I hate Midwestern Halloween. What do you mean you're corn?

Happy Halloween and a blessed Samhain to all!

Translation: I took a beautifully simple 85 year old bathroom, spent an ungod amount of money to make it look absolutely tacky and unsightly.

To those who are planning on making a political statement on Halloween with ramen or cup mac n cheese, flyers, ect......don't.

Let the kids have a fun, magical night with as much candy, chocolate, and mild mischief as possible.

What does democracy look like?

Not this. This is heinous.

To my fellow white trans women, especially the fortunate ones in places like Seattle and other blue cities in blue states, fight and protect those of us who are less fortunate.

Today we finished up some door knocking before the start of this week! Petition season is wrapping up, and I am so incredibly grateful for all the support up until this point!

This fight has just started. Let's keep it going so we can have A Better Illinois, together.

Let's go transsexuals!*

*Let's just scoot past that TDOV is the same day every year. Also, I love how even the president of the United States is sexually attracted to us, as the only reason to point this out is because the only thing on his mind is what we do in bed. Girl.

Hey y'all! We just have two weeks left until the end of petition season, and our team has put together a goal of $1000 to hit by then!

While millions of Americans lose food, healthcare, jobs, and encounter rising costs everywhere, our administration is tearing down chunks of the white house for a vanity project meant for the ultra wealthy.

If you would like to know how much people dislike this regime, I just want you to know that the Libertarians were at today's protest. On our side.
October 18, 2025 at 9:10 PM
Thank you for the amazing day @transupfrontil.com! Our rights are not to be trampled on, and I will fight to make sure trans and queer Illinoisans have the same rights as any other human, especially our LGBTQ+ Black and Brown residents and our trans youth.

ADHD isn't a joke or a gag. It's a legitimate disability that affects so many people around the world. As someone who struggles with ADHD, and with the healthcare system's lack of assistance with people like me, I know how disabling it can be.

I feel like if you didn't grow up on Country Crock, shelf stable 'maple' syrup, Crisco, and Goldhen eggs, you shouldn't be an elected official.
