Running for Illinois’ 8th Congressional District.

Melissa Bean is more focused on listening to her “donors” than the 8th district. If you’re not AIPAC, she doesn’t want to hear it. But not me, I don’t take dark money or corporate PAC donations. Unlike Melissa Bean, I don’t think with my wallet. #JunaidForUS #IL08

Congratulations, @DonavanMI13 . It was an honor standing with you and celebrating this incredible moment — proud to have been on the ground with you, and talking to voters for a campaign that always put people first. Your passion for this community and dedication to working families have always been clear. I’m excited to see all the Progressive change you’ll make in Congress. Enjoy the victory my friend — you earned it.

Happy Fourth of July, everyone! It was a pleasure to walk alongside the Schaumburg Democrats and so many fellow defenders of democracy today. As we celebrate the 250th birthday of this great nation, let’s remember what truly makes America great: not corporations, not billionaires, but people. We the People are the greatness of this country and the source of its strength. Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Independence Day.

Join me in supporting progressive Paul Nolley as he works to flip IL-16! Bold progressive policies win elections — and Paul will prove it. Let’s build a Democratic Party that stands with working people, not billionaire donors.

Was beyond proud to join Indivisible Des Plaines and Indivisible Elk Grove for Mayday demonstrations. Proud to stand alongside fellow Americans who understand who truly built the foundations of our economy: our unions. Thanks to organized labor, we have an 8 hour work day, child labor laws, weekends off, and so much more. Unfortunately, Trump and MAGA Republicans are attacking these fundamental economic freedoms, and do nothing Democrats are standing by as it happens. Fortunately, I am not alone in standing against this and standing for something better.

No Kings now. No Kings ever. The fight against a broken system made up not only a corrupt president, but corrupt politicians all over, continues. I look forward to standing by your side and standing on the right side of history.

Last night's result is not what we hoped for, but I could not be more proud of the movement we built together. From the beginning, this campaign stood up to the powerful interests that too often dominate our politics and together we built a grassroots coalition of volunteers, organizers, workers, students, and families who believe our government should fight for working people. To everyone who knocked doors, made calls, donated what they could, and believed in this campaign, thank you. While this primary may be over, our work continues, and the energy and solidarity we built together will carry forward as we build a more affordable, just, and democratic future.

Melissa Bean was “Wall Street’s Favorite Democrat” before Citizens United v. FEC unleashed unlimited spending. Now she’s backed by $6.2M+ from AI, AIPAC, and crypto money. Imagine how she’ll side with the people writing those checks. Vote for @JunaidForUs.

If you live in IL-08 and IL-09, grab your friends and go vote for Kat and Junaid! AIPAC has spent millions to stop them both but we have the chance to vote for two leaders who will fight for healthcare and affordable housing in our communities instead of bombing babies abroad.
