Thank you for making my Fall Fundraiser a success! Special thanks to all of our sponsors and donors who help drive Democrats forward 💪🏾. There was so much collaboration and community in that room. It shows. video recap.

The work we do in the House is designed to uplift all of Illinois. I was proud to join Rep. Dave Vella and community leaders in Rockford for a roundtable. Listening directly to families ensures our work in Springfield reflects their needs and priorities. hubs.la/Q03LqLK30

This Yom Kippur, we reflect not only as individuals but as a community, committed to building a future rooted in justice, empathy, and care for one another. May it be a year of growth and peace for all.

Congratulations to my good friend Debra Vines and all the families who are a part of The Answer Inc. It is my honor to accept the Legislator of the Year Award. Serving you has been the honor of a lifetime.

From the very start, I believed Lt. Gov Juliana Stratton was the right person to carry Illinois’s voice to the U.S. Senate. EMILYs List's endorsement affirms what many of us support: her fight, her conviction, and her commitment to the people of our state. hubs.la/Q03MlP7j0

Fired up to stand with Congressman Danny Davis in endorsing my friend La Shawn Ford for U.S. Congress! I’ve seen La Shawn’s tireless fight for justice, opportunity & the people who need it most. Winners do the work—and no one does the work like Rep. Ford. hubs.la/Q03MmfN70

Today’s ruling is a both a simple application of law and a strong affirmation of American values. The facts of this case have always been clear: Donald Trump’s war on Illinois is unjustified and illegal. But standing for what’s right takes courage. (1 of 2)

(2of2) I want to thank our Attorney General for having the courage to stand up for our people, stand up for democracy, and stand up for Illinois. Now it’s time for this president and his allies to have the courage to respect Chicago, respect Illinois, and respect the rule of law.

🌈 Today we celebrate courage, authenticity, and love. National Coming Out Day is a reminder that everyone deserves to live openly and proudly. We stand with the LGBTQ+ community today and every day.

Everywhere I go, people tell me the same thing: it shouldn’t feel this hard to get by. As we return to Springfield, I’m committed to tackling energy affordability, protecting our communities, and investing in reliable public transit. Full story: hubs.la/Q03NyLpM0

America is a country that tears the walls of authoritarianism down, not build new ones. The iron fence built by the Trump administration is a slap in the face to American values. Full video: hubs.la/Q03NBPBh0

We are not powerless in the face of authoritarianism. The Trump administration’s illegal fence blocking our streets is gone. The fight continues, and I’m ready for the next battle. hubs.la/Q03NKlwc0

We can’t let Donald Trump distract us from real problems working families are facing. Our country is moving in the wrong direction, and it’s thanks to the disastrous policies of the Trump administration. Watch the full press conference: hubs.la/Q03NzzfC0

On Monday, I stood with my community as the Trump admin both figuratively and literally divided us, and communities like ours. The fence outside the Broadview ICE facility served as a symbol of the war Trump is waging on democracy. We demanded they take it down, and it came down!

House Dems presser today before the start of session. 🎥 This is a crucial moment in our democracy. Illinois House Democrats are not afraid, and we’re gonna show up and fight back.

Hearing Paul Wende speak today reminded me what real solidarity looks like. The Ironworkers have always stood for the people who build, protect, and fight for this country—and they’re still doing it today. History will remember whose side we stood on, and I’m proud to stand with
