People First Healthcare Plan | Jillian Gilchrest for Congress

Families in Connecticut and across the nation are suffering through a healthcare system that is too expensive, too hard to use, and too protective of its own profits to change.

We have the power to shape our future... we just have to elect people who will work for it! Happy voting, Connecticut. Let's do this! #congressneedsasocialworker #congress #democraticprimary #ct01 #peoplepower

The reason wages aren’t increasing but costs are, environmental policies have stalled, and healthcare is abysmal is because Congress members have been bought by the billionaire class and corporations. #billionaireenergy #democraticprimary #enoughmailers #investinpeople #congressneedsasocialworker

We need a campaign finance system that puts voters at the center of decision-making and makes it possible for everyday, working Americans — not just the wealthy or well-connected — to run for office and represent their communities. #peoplepower #vote #rowcforchange #congressneedsasocialworker

Public Financing for Congressional Campaigns | Jillian Gilchrest for Congress

I ask Congressman Larson to sign on to Congressman Jamie Raskin’s letter, calling on the Administration to do everything in their power to secure the release of Dr. Abu Safiya. #congress #palestine #healthcare #gaza

Absolutely lovely time engaging with our interns and volunteers during the campaign. Check out what Amber, a rising college senior, had to say! #community #campaign #democraticprimary #ct01

My Experience on Jillian's Campaign

When I first joined Jillian Gilchrest’s campaign, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect.

Jillian received the highest grade of all four Democrats running in Connecticut's 1st Congressional District, according to the @politicalintegrity.us @stockingthecapitol.org #integrity #campaignfinance #moneyinpolitics #peoplepower #ct01

I'm open to term limits and maximum age limits, but until we get money out of politics, the same billionaires, corporations, and special interests will continue to buy our candidates. #campaignfinance #termlimits #congress #corporategreed #democraticprimary

Final weekend before early voting! We are so grateful for all of our amazing volunteers! #peoplepower #congressneedsasocialworker #democraticprimary #aug11

It's never been about the money; it's about the political will. We need to elect people who want to invest in you, not themselves. #vote #congress #democraticprimary #ct01 #congressneedsasocialworker

No U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Israeli government and no taking AIPAC money. #democraticprimary #ct01 #congress #aug11

Going on and on about not taking corporate PAC money when your campaign money comes from billionaires and the CEOs of corporations, private equity, data centers, and hedge funds is disingenuous. Don't allow them to buy this seat! #peoplepower #democraticprimary #congress #corporategreed

This is the final weekend before early voting. Whatever your comfort level, join us for volunteer activities in West Hartford or Wethersfield! You can door-knock, phone-bank, send texts, or write postcards! #democraticprimary #congress #ct01 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Politicians use immigration. We have the power and money to create an effective immigration system. To change how Washington works, we need to change who works for us in Washington. #democraticprimary #ct01 #congressneedsasocialworker #aug11 #ice

Gilchrest took a swipe at Bronin specifically about getting individual donations from billionaires and executives. “He’s taking money from multiple billionaires. He talks about new energy,” Gilchrest said. “He’s got a new billionaire energy.” #democraticprimary #ct01 #greed #congress #vote

1st Congressional District candidates square off in final debate

Rep. John Larson and challengers Luke Bronin, Jillian Gilchrest and Ruth Fortune took part in the last debate before the Aug. 11 primary.

Billionaires and the CEOs of corporations, private equity, data centers, and hedge funds aren't donating to your campaign from the kindness of their hearts. They're trying to influence our politics. #citizensunited #democraticprimary #ct01 #corporategreed #taxtherich

Only one woman has represented Connecticut's 1st Congressional District. Let's make it two! #vote #aug11 #democraticprimary #connecticut #congressneedsasocialworker

We need to get money out of politics in order to pass policies that will improve everyday people’s lives— increased wages, Medicare for all, environmental reforms, reducing costs. #congressneedsasocialworker #ct01 #peoplepower #congress #democraticprimary

Candidates for CT's 1st Congressional District clash in fiery debate

U.S. Rep. John Larson, Luke Bronin, Jillian Gilchrest and Ruth Fortune faced off in a debate more about the political moment than policy.

We need a significant federal investment in public education. It is not sustainable to have the costs continue to fall on municipalities. This just increases taxes and exacerbates inequities.#publiceducation #teachers #paraprofessional #ct01 #democraticprimary

I refuse to be bought. I’m running for Congress to represent you. CT’s 1st Congressional district Democratic Primary Election is August 11. Early voting Aug 3-9. #peoplepower #congressneedsasocialworker #aug11 #democraticprimary

I am so honored to have @jilchrest.bsky.social's endorsement in this fight. Jillian and I see firsthand up in Hartford the way progressive priorities are killed year after year. That's why I am in this race, to get tax fairness, education funding, and universal healthcare over the finish line.

Thanks to all those who participated and volunteered in yesterday's Scavenger Hunt! #congressneedsasocialworker #aug11 #ct01 #community
