I'm working hard to meet my end of year fundraising goal for my campaign for congress. I wanted to ask you to donate at least $100 toward my campaign by the end of the week. I know it's the holidays, so whatever you can do is helpful: t.ly/aMDHr

This weekend, I heard the people of the 7th Congressional District loud and clear: we are ready for a new day-- It's time for leadership and unity in IL-07.

No, Kina. Being antisemitic is antisemitic. Throwing around words like genocide- when Israel was just attacked and is defending itself against terrorists- is irresponsible and wrong.
Melissa Conyears Ervin doesn't support a ceasefire, y'all. Condemning the Israeli/US government is not antisemitic. Cutting off water & stopping the food supply will kill thousands of innocent people, including children. You're disappointing for not calling for a ceasefire.

So disappointing. Over the top rhetoric like this fans the flames of hatred and makes it harder to stop the terrible cycle of violence. Using the word "genocide" against Israel is not only ridiculous, it's a dog whistle for antisemites. Israel has a right to defend herself.
Our government is making a policy choice to fund the human rights violation of those trapped in Gaza right now. It is cowardly not to speak up and stand up in this moment. History will reflect that. My deepest wish is for a ceasefire. 🙏🏾
