We now live in a world where one man holds as much wealth as 46% of the world's population. Sen @robertpeters.bsky.social and Rep. Norma Hernandez wrote an op-ed for Crain's Chicago Business about how IL is fighting back by passing the Digital Ads Tax. Read more via the link in our bio.
Robert Peters
@robertpeters.bsky.social
Illinois 13th District State Senator and Candidate for Congress in IL-02
Let it be clear: Susana Mendoza is a profoundly evil person who should not be let within even an inch of the reins of City Hall. Here she is speaking about the death penalty in deeply horrifying terms. Don’t let her goofy TikTok’s fool you. This is who she is.
The smell in the DNC’s big tent is terrible. These right wing super pacs are stinking up the joint.
I am so grateful to be in this fight with Consumer Reports to ban surveillance pricing in Illinois. We have an amazing coalition fighting for working families.
The work continues: This legislation would protect Illinoisans from price gouging and data privacy threats. We need to make sure working families have an easier time buying groceries and putting food on their table.
We worked hard, organized, and built a big coalition, but we couldn’t compete with the millions of dollars from Trump-aligned super PACs in this race. We may have lost this battle, but we're going to keep fighting until we beat Trump and build a better world that we know is possible.
Happy primary election day, Illinois! I'm proud to have endorsed @julianastratton.bsky.social, @junaidforus.bsky.social, @robertpeters.bsky.social, and @danielbiss.bsky.social in their races today. They will fight to take on corruption and lower costs for families.
As the polls close, I am so grateful for every voter, donor, and volunteer who joined this movement. We’ve been outspent more than 11:1 in this race, but we haven’t been outworked. I am so proud of everything we’ve built. PS: If you’re in line to vote, stay in line!
I’m so proud of the campaign we’ve run—but one of the things I’m proudest of is the beautiful, powerful, diverse coalition of support we’ve built. Last day before Election Day and we’re all going all out. Sign up to Get Out the Vote tomorrow: mobilize.us/robertpeters...
We’re proud to announce our endorsement of @robertpeters.bsky.social! Like our local groups that first endorsed him and the supermajority of Indivisibles in IL-02 who voted to back him, we believe Robert is the strongest candidate to lead the fight for our democracy. 🧵
Time for a War Powers Resolution vote. Let’s get everyone on the record.
Out today supporting Robert Peters for Congress! @robertpeters.bsky.social
Trump is dragging us into another dangerous and illegal regime change war. The American people—people from our communities—are the ones who will pay for it. Every one of us must lift our voices forcefully right now against this. NO WAR WITH IRAN.
AIPAC is targeting me because they’re worried I won’t go along with their MAGA-aligned agenda in Congress. They’re absolutely right.
Still thinking about @robertpeters.bsky.social's powerful reflections at our Every Life, A Universe gathering in 2024. It’s easy to see why AIPAC is desperate to keep him out of office – he holds the “radical” belief that safety comes through solidarity, not nationalism or military might.
We proudly endorse @robertpeters.bsky.social for Congress. 🧵
We’re endorsing @robertpeters.bsky.social for Congress. From leading Illinois to become the first state to end cash bail, to serving as the Chair of the Senate Labor Committee, Robert has fought tirelessly for working families across Illinois.
We are taking on the Trump-aligned trifecta of AIPAC, AI, and Crypto super PACs. And we’re gonna win.
Why is Donna Miller staying silent on ICE accountability? One reason: Trump 💰💰💰
This such important reporting on the tech billionaire bros buying Dems in primaries. So-called Fairshake PAC is lying about @robertpeters.bsky.social (using progressives messaging) because he passed a law in the IL Senate to protect seniors from scams and regulate big tech. #endcitizensunited
In Illinois, pro-artificial intelligence PACs are spending to elect legislators from both sides of the aisle — as long as they support their plans to create a national framework for reduced AI regulation and enable the construction of more data centers.
The pro-crypto super PAC, Fairshake, has almost $200 million at its disposal to buy elections in favor of politicians who'll work to make crypto billionaires richer. The crypto industry is afraid of @robertpeters.bsky.social because he's committed to putting working people first. #IL02
Crypto super PAC wades into Illinois House primaries
The seven-figure ad buys provide an early view into how the crypto industry will deploy a $190 million war chest to defeat candidates deemed hostile to its policy interests.

Peters was my state legislator in Hyde Park. He’s as good as I’ve seen in Illinois
Elizabeth Warren is a hero of mine. As right-wing forces try to buy this seat, our movement needs to stay united and fight back. I’m grateful to Sen. Warren for standing with us in this battle.
When Sen. Robert Peters spoke @netrootsnation.bsky.social in ‘23 I was VERY impressed. So of course crypto creeps are attacking him @robertpeters.bsky.social
We've been waiting for the crypto money to drop this election cycle. Now it has, in attack ads against two state senators in Illinois who voted to regulate digital assets. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
Today, State Senator Robert Peters joined TPL, Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), and Citizen Action members for National Nurses United's Vision For A Healthy Society forum in Calumet City! We're discussing what it'll take to truly transform our system and advance health care justice.
Proud to be endorsed by @indivchisouth.bsky.social. This is a campaign that is powered by grassroots organizing, and that’s what Indivisible is all about.
Elizabeth Warren is a hero of mine. As right-wing forces try to buy this seat, our movement needs to stay united and fight back. I’m grateful to Sen. Warren for standing with us in this battle.
Let’s talk about the shady right wing shell PAC trying to buy this seat.
Girl, I Guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is out and they, like me, think you should vote for @robertpeters.bsky.social for Congress. He led the charge that ended cash bail in Illinois! docs.google.com/document/d/1...
