Indigenous peoples and cultures are a core part of the American story. On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we appreciate the many contributions of Indigenous peoples across our nation.

As a proud UChicago alum, young voters like UChicago Democrats fill me with hope for the future of our party and country. Chatting with them today brought back so many great memories of my time as a student. Keep up the great work!

This fight is a team effort. Today, @illinoisdems.bsky.social are spreading the word in Summit about what’s at stake this election season, and we’re counting on you to spread the word in your community too.

Veterans represent the best of America. We're proud to be endorsed by VoteVets, Common Defense, National Security Leaders for America, and Illinois Veterans for Change.

If every politician was out sick, which characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and Game of Thrones would you choose to fill in for the day?

At the NECA-IBEW Local 702 Electrical Training Center, I saw young people learning trades that will pay good wages with real benefits. Every young person deserves to find opportunities that don’t require a mountain of debt. That’s the vision @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I are fighting for.

In Illinois, where you start should never determine where you finish. That’s the vision @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I share, and what I heard echoed by the Williamson, Union, and Pulaski Democrats.

George McClellan is a former fire chief, current nurse, and the best fighter for better jobs, healthcare, and wages in Illinois’ 114th district. I was lucky to knock doors with George and his lovely wife, Melody. @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I are excited to have him in Springfield.

I’m proud to stand with @ilenviro.bsky.social because the fight to protect our environment can’t wait any longer. I’ll continue to partner with @jbpritzker.bsky.social to bring Illinois into a cleaner, healthier future.

I’m happy to stand with the most pro-union governor in the country. When Republican-controlled states stripped workers of their protections, @jbpritzker.bsky.social fought to enshrine your right to organize. Thank you, @uaw.org, for letting us fight for you.

Every day I go to work, I try to show this kid that the change he dreamed of making is possible if he never gives up. Grateful for another year to serve, make a difference, and make him proud.

In Illinois, we trust women to make their own healthcare decisions. But when Roe v. Wade was overturned, Darren Bailey opposed @jbpritzker.bsky.social's efforts to protect abortion rights. Illinois deserves better than Darren Bailey.

Any time a rural hospital closes or reduces services, it forces patients to drive hours to get the care they need. I'm traveling across Illinois to show the cost of reckless MAGA cuts to healthcare because @illinoisdems.bsky.social won't stand idly by while people suffer.

Harvest season is a reminder of the farmers, American-made tractors, and good-paying jobs that keep Illinois moving.

It's always a pleasure to gather with the Cook County Democratic Party to talk strategy and how we can secure more wins for the people of Illinois.

I was proud to join Woodford County Democrats to honor the people who began the work in their fight to turn the county blue. Let's continue what they started this November.

Our students set the pace and bring the energy to this fight. I'm glad I can count on the College Democrats at Illinois State University to show Illinois what they're made of this November.

The "Cost of MAGA" is expensive. When Republicans cut SNAP, they took food out of the mouths of hungry children and families who were already struggling to make ends meet. @illinoisdems.bsky.social and I are putting working families over tax cuts for the wealthy.

This morning, I got to hear the word at a church that embodies the Gospel and believes in faith in action. Thank you, Center for Hope Ministries for having me this Sunday.

When the fight gets hard, it's faith that keeps me going. I was blessed to join Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church for worship this morning.

Higher wages, lower costs, affordable healthcare. That's what @mcleancountydems.bsky.social want from our government and it's what @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I are fighting to bring them.

The fight has begun, and Rich Township Democrats have been ready for this moment. If you couldn't see the energy we saw that evening, you'll feel it at the polls.

Today, the fight has begun! It’s the beginning of early voting in Illinois. Make your plan to get to the polls and choose a brighter future for Illinois! For more information, visit iwillvote.com/il.

@jbpritzker.bsky.social has led the nation in the fight to hold Big Tech accountable, and he’s continuing to make it a priority by forming the Illinois Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cabinet. Together, we'll usher Illinois into a safer and human-centric future.

My grandfather used to say, "everybody can teach you something, even if it's what NOT to do."

$15 minimum wage. Paid sick leave. 12 credit upgrades. Illinois is now a progressive blueprint for the nation. When Democrats lead the way, we can get big things done.

Part of the reason I'm running for lieutenant governor with JB Pritzker is because I know he's the right person for the job.

Losing my first boxing match taught me to take every moment seriously. In public service, you fight every moment for what you believe in until the bell rings. 🥊

Nerds rule the world. The inspiration I’ve found in sci-fi, video games and fantasy is part of why I do what I do.

I got a bill passed through both Illinois houses to raise the minimum wage for teachers before Governor Rauner vetoed it. I was proud to see that bill become law during my time as deputy governor, thanks to JB Pritzker.
