Earlier this morning in Springfield, we filed almost 3,000 signatures to get onto the ballot! Thank you to many volunteers who door knocked and gathered signatures over the past several months. You helped make this day a reality. Thank you. #Congress

I stand in solidarity with those being targeted by this Administration and will continue to speak up and speak out against these Un-American actions. #ICE #Illinois

Grateful for recent passing the IL transit bill. This bill prevents service services cuts and saves transit jobs. Last month, I spent time with, who advocated for the passage of this bill and for increased safety measures for their members. Demand change! #transit #illinois

Last night's NYC mayoral election showed that when you focus on working people and improving their lives in a meaningful way, you succeed! Proud to be a pro-labor candidate for Congress! ✊🏾 #UnionStrong #work #Election2025

The parallels between the Hanover Park police officer and this daycare teacher's ICE case are uncanny. Both individuals had valid work visas and both had pending asylum cases. A clear lack of due process and regard for our rights. Impeachement NOW. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/06/aft…

Working people deserve a champion in Congress who will fight for our unions - not against them. I'm honored to earn the endorsement of Elk Grove Village Professional Firefighters Union Local 2340 who represents courageous, hardworking firefighters that keep our communities safe.

Yesterday in Hanover Park, we welcomed back Officer Bojovic after ICE unlawfully detained him in Oct. I'm grateful for his commitment to serving our community, as I remain committed as a Trustee to protect our residents and employees and ensure that their rights remain intact.

Earlier this week, my ordinance banning ICE from Village-owned property passed! 🎉 I don't just talk about being a fighter, I actually am one and work hard to get things done. You can expect the same fire and drive out of me in the halls of Congress. #HanoverPark #Congress

In the last 24 hours, we've seen two devastating mass shootings take place both here and abroad. Once again, college students are left feeling less safe on-campus and those celebrating Hannukah in Australia are met with heartache. My heart goes out to the impacted families.

I was a cong. staffer when the Jan. 6th Insurrection occurred and I remember being so concerned for the welfare my colleagues who barricaded themselves in their offices. As we've learned this past year, Democracy is a fragile thing and we must all do our part to protect it.
