if you’ve been asking “where are the next-gen leaders?”

if you’ve been craving someone who actually gets it — who’s sharp, grounded, and ready to fight —

you should check out @katmabu.bsky.social’s campaign.

she’s here. and she’s ready. t.co/UE6sk3A2K1

we need to fight. we need change.
& no one’s coming to save us but us

we deserve better. what we have isn’t working — or at least, it’s not enough

this is what it can look like
if that energizes you, get involved

@katmabu.bsky.social is one of many — but she’s showing the way

what Kat brings — & what many say we need — is a shift in tone + energy

she’s not running scared of elon, trump, or the growing wave of authoritarianism

she’s ready to FIGHT. not just to hold the line — to move it forward

in urgency, language, tone, and strategy. she gets it

it’s boldly transparent.

No corporate money. No performative politics

Kat won’t compromise her values — not on the trans community, not to the system

she doesn’t just support term limits — she pledged to serve no more than 5.

THAT’s values and accountability.

also it’s not just about being young for the sake of being young — it’s about being ready

yes we need new generations of leadership, but gen-z needs candidates & leaders who exemplify its values + meet the current moment

Kat does just that and it’s laid out clearly + thoroughly

Kat does make it clear whose side she’s NOT on

while official endorsements aren’t posted yet, she includes a page of ANTI-endorsements

Elon, Tucker, Libs of TikTok — if they’re mad, she’s doing something right

& here’s the thing: Kat isn’t running against someone — she’s running for something.

FOR affordable housing, for healthcare access, for climate, for labor rights, for a political future that actually makes room for her generation

Kat is 26

the current congresswoman in IL-09 was elected the year she was born

that’s not a dunk — it’s a timeline. that the campaign website quite literally visualizes

as many are saying rn and Kat says herself: the world has changed. our leadership should too

as dems keep losing the culture war, it seems worth noting that Kat gave her exclusive on her launch to Rolling Stone, not Politico or Axios

it’s a signal, and it matters

she knows where people are, how they listen, and what actually breaks through in 2025

bsky.app/profile/roll...

she’s been on the frontlines of political media — talking policy, calling out disinfo, how the right weaponizes attention, + how to cut through it.

we don’t need to train her to effectively communicate or sound like a human — she’s already doing it, on the platforms that matter.

the whole vibe is honest and relatable and real.

she’s not trying to cosplay a politician — she’s just showing up as herself.

we keep saying we want more ~authentic~ leaders who say what they mean and mean what they say.

& that’s her pitch.

her website katforillinois.com is clean, accessible, direct, and reads like it was written by someone who’s actually talked to voters before

none of the consultant-speak — just a clear throughline of who she is: a daughter of immigrants, union member, media watchdog, human.

like her candidacy, this isn’t politics as usual — and isn’t that exactly what people are craving right now?

we don’t need more of the same.

it’s clear Kat’s running a campaign that breaks from the old playbook and actually fits the urgency of this moment.

At a time when this cruel, hateful, & deeply dangerous administration is deciding who deserves dignity, respect, & a real chance here, I refuse to accept their vision and will keep fighting for a country that welcomes — not one that shuts its doors ♥️🧑‍🧑‍🧒🇺🇸
