This was the right decision and a win for democracy, but we have to remain vigilant. As the Trump Administration attempts to bend the rule of law to instill fear and chaos in our communities, we must continue to hold them accountable.

I'm so honored to have the endorsement of Secretary Jesse White, a political giant and a dedicated public servant. Jesse is a stalwart of the Democratic Party who has been an inspiration to me and to so many others across Illinois. #IL08

Families in Illinois and across the country are concerned about the economy, the job market, rising healthcare premiums, and the threat of war. Instead of empathy, answers, or vision from the President, they got an angry, incoherent word salad. Our nation deserves more.

I helped create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to make sure everyday Americans are protected from being cheated by dishonest financial institutions. Now, the Trump Administration is trying to illegally block the CFPB from being funded. democrats-financialservices.house.gov/news/documen...

I’m devastated to hear of the tragedy coming out of Providence. Everyone deserves to live free from gun violence, especially on our campuses. I’m praying for the victims, their families, and the entire community.

Joined Joan Esposito on @wcpt820am.bsky.social earlier this week to discuss my campaign and my message to voters across #IL08. Far too many believe the American Dream is out of reach, and I'm running for Congress to help fix that.

Supporting small businesses doesn't only mean shopping small. It also means giving small businesses the tools to succeed. I worked with President Obama to pass the Small Business Jobs Act, making it easier for small businesses in IL to access resources. #SmallBusinessSaturday

Violence against our service members is vile and unacceptable. My family is praying for the West Virginia National Guard members who were attacked in DC today. As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, we're thinking of their families and all those who answer the call to serve.

I was proud to serve with Speaker Pelosi as we worked to pass landmark legislation like the Affordable Care Act, Wall Street Reform, and Lily Ledbetter – and I’m honored to have her support once again as I work to build on our legacy of progress for the American people.

If the Obamacare tax credits are allowed to expire, Illinoisans will pay an average of 78% more for health insurance through the ACA marketplace next year. Families simply cannot afford this. President Trump and the GOP must work with Democrats to extend the credits now.

This is the kind of progress we as Americans should expect from our elected leaders. I worked with President Obama and my fellow House Dems to pass Obamacare, and I'm running to represent #IL08 in Congress because you deserve to read more headlines about results, not chaos.
