Serving the people of the 9th District has been the honor of a lifetime.
Today, I voted early in Evanston alongside @DanielBiss. I know he’ll continue standing up for our values and challenging Trump’s corrupt agenda.
Make a plan to vote and take advantage of early voting!
Daniel Biss is a proven leader in our community and the fighter we need to move the 9th District forward.
Today is the day to make your voice heard. Join me in voting for @DanielBiss.

Now this is how you kick off GOTV weekend! Thank you so much to @ewarren, @janschakowsky, and the amazing supporters and volunteers that joined us this morning. 4 days to go, let's win this thing!!
Illinois deserves leaders who put voters first, not AIPAC or out-of-state Trump donors.
I can’t support any congressional candidate who’s funded by these outside interests. That’s one of the many reasons I’m supporting @DanielBiss. Daniel will always put Illinois families first.
For decades, I’ve watched @DanielBiss lead with integrity and courage, and deliver real results for our community.
We need a fighter in Washington who isn’t afraid to take on Trump and will stand up for working people.
Let’s do everything we can to send Daniel to Congress!
I’m excited to endorse @DanielBiss to succeed me in Congress.
I’ve watched him fight for progressive values his whole career—never backing down from a fight against powerful interests or Trump’s abuses.
We need that courage in Congress. Let’s send Daniel to Washington.
I am truly humbled to have the support of @janschakowsky in this campaign. She is an icon, a fierce and fearless warrior for our communities and a true friend.
I have not made a decision about my plans for re-election - I will make that decision in the coming weeks and announce on May 5.
Musk is a liar. Social Security is a life saver, not a Ponzi scheme. #HandsOff
Trump/Musk are attacking Social Security, Medicaid, and our Constitution. The people are stronger and we will not go quietly. #HandsOff
We don’t do kings in America and the people are sick of this Trump/Musk madness. We are fighting back.
Hands off Medicaid, Social Security, and the Constitution.
We are fighting back in Congress, in the Courts, and on the streets. Join the effort this Saturday to tell Trump/Musk: get your hands off our Social Security, Medicaid, data, and more. We don’t do kings in America and the people are not with them. mobilize.us/handsoff/event/7…

Republicans are literally willing to let kids starve and seniors lose their health care if it means the top 1% and big corporations get more tax cuts. Think about that.
ALT The header reads, "MAGA Republicans are slashing necessary programs to fund tax cuts for the rich." Below, their budget priorities are listed as line items: $230 billion in cuts for SNAP/nutrition programs, $880 billion in cuts for health care funding, $330 billion in cuts for public education and workforce training/protection, and $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the rich. To the left, a black and white image of Trump, smirking. The footer reads, "this isn't about efficiency. It's about making the rich richer."

Trump and Co-President Musk are sabotaging Veterans Affairs, causing painful delays in veterans' care. The cruel hiring freeze and firing of staff — including vets! — jeopardize earned benefits to serve Trump donors scheming to privatize VA.

Trump’s Tom Homan says Chicagoans are “very well educated” in knowing their rights. He is right. That’s because of informed and concerned people like you. Read up on our state and local laws that protect all of our communities. chicagotribune.com/2025/01/2…
Count me in, @ChrisStreetProj.
I will always support justice for all. Let's continue standing up to bullies and cowards attacking our Trans communities.
Introducing the Christopher Street Project, the only group in the country solely dedicated to electing champions for the transgender community.
A single principle guides us: cowards have no place in Congress.

An honor to accept the endorsement of @RepSchakowsky.
We've shown what we can do in Wisconsin—breaking records with tens of thousands of volunteers and hundreds of thousands of donors.
Emboldening a grassroots movement is how our party can unite, fight, and win nationwide.
I’m proud to endorse @benwikler to be our next DNC Chair. It’s time to unite, fight, and WIN in this crucial time. Ben understands that people-powered organizing make or break elections up and down the ballot. I encourage all DNC members — especially from Illinois — to join me.
