Thanks to the Illinois Nurses Association for giving us the opportunity to to come together and talk about what really matters: dignity, safety, and care for every person. And we did it over several rounds of drag bingo by CHI CHI. Because joy, community, and care belong in the same sentence.

SNAP is back, but working families across the 9th went weeks without basic necessities because Republicans decided to play politics with people’s food and healthcare.

Homeowners are getting hit with insurance hikes while corporations hide the bill. I introduced legislation to make Illinois a leader in challenging these increases. I've passed some of the toughest insurance reforms b/c working families deserve transparency and I’ll fight for the same in Washington.

This "deal" will send premiums soaring for families already drowning in medical debt. For Illinoisans making $45,000 a year, your ACA plan could go from $150 to $700 /month. Protecting billionaires is not compromise, it’s a betrayal. I’d vote NO on this disgraceful bill. #holdtheline

Last night I spent time with a great group of Evanston neighbors at Drinking Liberally, a weekly gathering going strong for 20 years. We talked policy, shared stories, and had plenty of laughs. Our best solutions come from real conversations with people who make this community what it is.

I am honored to have the support of business owner and Mayor George D. Alpogianis in my candidacy for Congress. Small businesses like Kappy’s keep our community thriving, I can’t wait to continue uplifting our small businesses in the 9th District and across the country. Thank you Mayor Alpogianis!

Thank you to every volunteer, campaign office, local elected, and community member who showed up for today’s emergency food drive at Wilmette City Hall.

We had an incredible veto session in Springfield:

✅ Delivering $20 million in SNAP benefits
✅ Keeping our world-class transit systems moving
✅ Protecting immigrant families in schools and hospitals
✅ Strengthening foster care

Grateful to everyone who signed, petitioned, and stopped to chat along the way. Your support made this possible! Thank you for believing in our campaign and our community. Let’s win this together!

"I don’t chase the headlines I get the work done." I was honored to talk to voters at the Citizen Action Candidate Forum earlier this week to discuss the most pressing issues in Illinois and across the country. I’m proud to pass legislation that helps you. I’m ready to do the same in Washington.
