💪🏽Running for Congress in IL-9 ⭐️First Gen Z Elected Official in the US bushraforcongress.com
Some elected person: Eid Mubarak me: *immediate like*
The tragic shooting at largest mosque in San Diego county has resulted in 3 dead: 1. This is not an isolated incident. 2. There is literally an official "anti-Sharia" caucus in Congress. 3. Their goal is a formalized effort to institutionalize Islamophobia and alienate Muslim citizens.

The ugliness being directed at Bushra Amiwala is disgusting. She was the first Gen Z candidate to become an elected official in the US, and the youngest Muslim elected official at the time. She’s been deeply involved in politics here since she was a teen.
Bushra, from one Rogers Park/Skokie kid to another, keep going. I’ve kept this button since I met you in Jan 2018 because I knew you’d keep fighting to make a difference.

5 hours left to vote. If you are in line by 7p, you are allowed to vote. DM me to find your polling place. Punch #34
I'm glad I EARLY voted for @bushraamiwala.bsky.social because I believe in her. You can too by voting for her. Please vote for Bushra Amiwala. I know her since her high school days via PALs. 😊
IL-09, it's Primary Day! Polls are open until 7:00 tonight. Vote your hopes!
Bushra Amiwala@bushraamiwala.bsky.social · 5mo agoThey're spending millions to silence us. I'm not for sale. I didn't ask for their ads. I didn't take their money. $1.4M from real people - single-dollar donations built this campaign. I helped bring Ranked Choice Voting to Skokie. I didn't just talk about fixing the system. I started fixing it.

I’m probably one of the few BlueSky users on here who could actually vote in IL-9. There were a lot of great candidates but I voted for Amiwala due to the following: I wanted someone who was born and raised in the district and already had a track record as a politician.

I was on the ballot at the same time as Biss in 2018. As a 19y old, I earned 15,000 votes, roughly 6,000 being net-new primary voters. I’m proud to give people something to vote FOR, not against. See you at the polls, punch #34
jeiisonline@jeiisonline.bsky.social · 5mo agoTeam Bushra, I've spoken with a variety of your supporters who said they're wrestling with the choice to vote for Daniel Biss because they believed you were too far behind in the polls and Laura Fine needs to lose. What would you say to them in light of Megan Wachspress's revelations about Biss?
Our democracy is in a pretty sorry ass state when all of the replies here are folks who do not live in IL-09 trying to bully this candidate out of her campaign.
Bushra Amiwala@bushraamiwala.bsky.social · 5mo agoWith 2 days left to VOTE, the choice is clear: vote for a candidate whose track record is deeply rooted in this community. This was a distraction and disgusting attempt to misdirect voters. Today is the *last* day to early vote, and tomorrow is Election Day Punch #34 for Bushra Amiwala

They say one vote doesn't make a difference. I’m living proof that it does. In my first win, the margin was just 49 votes. That’s why I don’t skip any community, and I don't overlook any forum. Your voice is the deciding factor in IL-09 Early voting is open. Let’s make history again.
Only 3 days left to vote. It takes 5 minutes to punch #34 Skokie: Oakton College - 7701 N. Lincoln Ave, Skokie Devon: Northtown Library - 6800 N. Western Ave, Chicago Niles: Niles Village Hall - 1000 Civic Center Dr., Niles
When people ask where the "line" is, this is it. We’re tired of the same old "lesser of two evils" politics. It’s time for a representative who is actually UNBOUGHT. One who has been in the trenches with this community for a decade. THREE DAYS left of Early Voting! Punch 34
A message to AIPAC: stick to funding Laura Fine and Daniel Biss, this is a cheap attempt to smear my name
Ryan Ottignon@ryaninevanston.bsky.social · 5mo agoIL-09: Bushra Amiwala is supported in a new digital ad from AIPAC-backed super PAC Chicago Progressive Partnership. First aired on YouTube yesterday. The PAC has previously attacked Abughazaleh. (Appears to be an attempt to further divide the progressive vote.)
