Thank you to everyone who joined us at Sulzer tonight, and thank you to @indivisiblels.bsky.social for hosting! It’s always a pleasure to share my story, my platform, and my plans to make Chicago more affordable, accessible, and just. #twill

Great news! Because so many neighbors spoke up, these hostile benches have been replaced with newer, flatter models. This is what good government should look like!

Pictured: my live reaction to the original benches, just after the new Lawrence station opened.

Join my team and I this Saturday and/or Sunday for our first weekend of action since making the ballot! We're going to win this campaign of affordability, accessibility, and justice at the doors, so I hope you'll join us: www.mobilize.us/friendsofrid...

Went back through the archives for this one, turns out Gramps considered running for office himself back in the day (but as a Republican 🤫)

Today, as we celebrate Veterans Day, I'm thinking of the generations of veterans from Chicago and tied to our great city -- folks like my granddad, Gilbert Knapp, who trained at Navy Pier before deploying to the Pacific Theater.

Honored & excited to turn in my petitions at the Springfield State Board of Elections this morning! Whether you helped us knock doors, canvass train stations & farmers markets, or chipped in a few bucks, thank you. We're just getting started.

Hey all! We're in the home stretch when it comes to petition season, and we're going all out. Join my team for a shift this week to help us collect signatures and get on the ballot? forms.gle/6kHKk3m8aqXF...

I joined folks at my neighborhood school's watch yesterday. It's easy, it's organized, and it keeps us safe.

Want to help our communities feel just a little safer? See if a group near you is organizing an 🧊 watch - very likely, they are, and the more eyes (and whistles) the better.

Thanks to everyone who joined us to knock doors & collect signatures this weekend!

We've only got SIX more days to make the ballot. I'll be out knocking doors every day this week across the ☘️lucky☘️ 13th -- want to join? Check out ridgefor13.com / DM me for more info :)

Our campaign is built on grassroots donors -- we raised the most small dollar donations of ANY candidate in this race, and it wasn't close:

Campaign update! I'm so proud to announce our campaign for the 13th District raised over $43,000 in the third quarter from over 350 donors, with donors from every ward in the district.

I'm honored by the belief folks have in our campaign to make Chicago a better place; I hope you'll join us :)

I had such a great time chatting with voters at Apple Fest last weekend in Lincoln Square! Folks are fired up and ready to hear about how Springfield can stand up to the Trump administration and make life better for every Chicagoan.

Great meeting last night from the 19th District Police Council, and a great example of how good data leads to good policy - did you know 10% of all 911 calls are about parking enforcement? Our councillors are working to move the response from CPD to the City Dept of Finance (1/2)

Happy National Voter Registration Day! Register - or make sure you're registered - at www.iwillvote.com.

I've spent my life organizing for Democrats, and working to advance progressive values - and so much of those successes hinge on folks getting out and voting. A quote I shared back in 2018:

So appreciative of the folks who came out to volunteer this weekend! We've knocked thousands of doors, collected hundreds and hundreds of signatures, and shared our message of a positive, progressive future all across the ☘️lucky☘️ 13th District.

A pleasure to join @aldermanmattmartin.bsky.social & @andrefor40th.bsky.social for the annual 47th Ward community bike ride on Friday! No better way to spend an evening than biking the neighborhood & hearing about how good government can materially improve folks' lives :)

Interested in learning more about my campaign & helping me get on the ballot? Join us for our first official Day of Action this Saturday!

Took a break from the doors to add another voice to the chorus.

Chicago is, was, and will forever be, a union town. Had a blast marching with so many today to stand up and speak out for workers. #SolidarityForever
