Don't let a crowded ballot, a big bank account or who has most yard signs decide your vote. A crowded ballot means you don’t have to settle. Instead of voting for the loudest voice, this is an opportunity to move past name recognition and choose the best candidate for the job. 🧵

Your representatives are hired to serve residents and follow the Constitution. You have a choice on March 17th. You can vote for a representative that will fight for: 🔷 Free, high-quality healthcare 🔷 Affordable housing 🔷SNAP benefits Punch 32 so I can work for you!

I'm Jazmin J. Robinson. I'm running for Congress. I do comedy, jiu-jitsu, ride horses. I care deeply about supporting my community by advocating for your rights and writing policies that work FOR you, and NOT for special interest groups. 🗳️Vote for me on March 17th!

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a pioneer for civil rights. He believed our country could be better and he fought tirelessly for this belief. Rev. Jackson’s legacy will live on through the millions he inspired. My deepest condolences are with his family and all who knew him.

This Saturday, I protested with others outside of the Broadview ICE facility. Congress has the power to shut these detention centers down, yet they do nothing. I can't just stand by and watch while our elected officials keep failing us by refusing to stand up to these atrocities.

I spoke with Simone Boutet on the ways that I'd be prioritizing the 7th District’s most vulnerable communities. My plan is to: 🏗️Update aging infrastructure 🏥Fund nonprofit health clinics through grant money 🍎Open food pantries where there are food deserts 🧵

Last night at Chicago Black Voter Project’s candidate forum, I shared my progressive strategy w/ residents. I voted Yes last night & would vote Yes in Congress for: 🏥 Universal Healthcare ⛔Banning PACs & lobbysts 🌼 Supporting the Block the Bombs Act 🚫 Abolishing forced prison labor 🔹 Reparations
