It’s official—we’re FIRST on the ballot for State Senate in the 6th District!

For the first time since 1972, our neighbors have a choice for what kind of Democrat we send to Springfield. With no Republican running, the March 17 Democratic Primary is the election.

This campaign started as one living room conversation. Two hundred salons later (!), it’s a movement for the future we deserve. We all crave connection—and that’s how real change begins. Join us!

Thank you to Indivisible Lincoln Park/Lakeview for an incredible conversation—our 200th salon! We talked health care, fighting corporate power, and the future we deserve.

The old guard’s had their turn—it’s time we elect better Democrats with the courage to fight.

I’ve heard it all: families putting off surgeries, people priced out of their neighborhoods, and neighbors terrified of what Trump’s allies are doing to our country.

And instead of fighting for the people, Senator Durbin sold us out.

We need Democrats who fight for us—not fold under pressure.

We continue to fight the injustice and terror ICE has brought into our neighborhoods—from a preschool teacher taken in front of children in North Center to the inhumane conditions at Broadview. Our communities deserve dignity, safety, and justice.

A day care teacher was taken by ICE in front of kids yesterday. It’s pure evil.

But last night, North Center showed up—because we keep us safe.

Grab a whistle. Record everything. And know that I’ll keep fighting alongside you every day.

URGENT: Springfield is about to wrap veto session and could vote tonight to fund public transit. Call your state legislators and make sure they vote YES on SB2111 to fund Chicago’s buses and trains!

For over 30 years, the political machine has gone unchallenged—and we’re changing that.

Join me and former Congresswoman @marienewman.bsky.social in La Grange for a fundraiser to build a government rooted in compassion, human rights, and bold leadership.

We just turned in our petition signatures to the Illinois State Board of Elections!

Thank you to all of our volunteers and thousands of neighbors across the 6th District—we’re officially on our way to the ballot. This is what people-powered politics looks like.

I’ve watched too many friends get priced out of Lakeview. We can change this trajectory if we build more housing.

Join me Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 5:30 PM at the Center on Halsted to support 188 new homes and new neighbors.

I’m proud to stand with my city and say loud and clear—ICE is not welcome here. Not in Chicago, not in Illinois, not anywhere. #NoKings

After 175+ salons, we’re throwing a Halloween party at Aria Salon!

💅 Mariah “Carrie,” 👻 Joan Rivers, 🎧 DJ Stack, and you!
Join us on Halloween for cocktails, costumes, and community—all to power our campaign against a 30-year incumbent.

Back at Broadview. ICE is terrorizing our communities—tear gassing journalists, abducting people in Budget trucks, and destroying homes in South Shore.

We need leaders who will fight alongside us, not stay silent.

When we launched, the establishment said “wait your turn.”

But instead, we listened to our neighbors—knocking on doors, hosting 175+ salons, and building a campaign rooted in community and joy.

Hope is spreading. Let’s keep it going before midnight: secure.actblue.com/donate/nu-ge...

“I have known Nick since he was an organizer with Indivisible and I’ve seen his commitment to community up close,” said @lenifor48th.bsky.social. “The State Senate needs leaders like Nick who will fight hard, listen to diverse populations, and organize alongside them every step of the way.”

Hear that knock on your door? It could be one of our volunteers—or me! Join us tomorrow (Sunday, 9/28) or next weekend to collect petition signatures. We’ve only got a month left—let’s bring real change to the 6th District together!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Big Gay Sal’s for our Fall Fundraiser! We need better Democrats—ones who put people first, lead with compassion and empathy, and stand shoulder to shoulder alongside you to build something new.

Momentum is on our side, join us! More at: nickforillinois.com

What a week! From salons on housing and food policy, to knocking doors, and reimagining our streets, our volunteers are building the movement we need, block by block.

“Illinois needs leaders who will break from the old guard, lead with heart, and fight for real change.”

I’m honored to have @marienewman.bsky.social’s endorsement and I’ll take that same spirit of organizing, coalition-building, and bold vision for the future with me to Springfield.

It was great to talk with @indivisible-dt-chi.bsky.social last night! We discussed why primaries matter—that’s when we decide what kind of Democrat we want representing us for the future. If we want better fighters in office, we have to change who we send into the halls of power.

The North Side isn’t complacent—it just hasn’t had the chance to vote for real change. What our communities need now is hope for the future and an organizer that brings everyone in.

Trump is threatening our city while some Democrats stay silent. Illinois deserves stronger leaders who will fight back and protect our neighbors. I won’t back down.
