Due process is being ignored, agencies are acting unconstitutionally, and entire communities are being targeted and excluded. Democracy in this country has become weakened, and we must do something. Learn more
We must use the investigative powers of Congress to hold the Trump administration and others accountable for their actions. We deserve transparency in government. Learn more
My campaign is built on a simple promise: to fight for a government that finally centers human dignity, expands opportunity, and delivers justice to every community. These are not abstract ideals, they are the foundation of strong families, safe neighborhoods, and a resilient democracy. My platform reflects the needs of Illinois families and the values we share: fairness, compassion, and a relentless belief that society must work for all of us, not just the privileged few.

A safe, affordable home should never be out of reach for hardworking people. Learn more
ICE is ravaging our communities. I believe in ending for-profit detention, expanding community-based alternatives, modernizing the immigration courts, and creating a fair path to citizenship for the millions who contribute to our economy and communities. Learn more
