The GUARD Act

  Friend, Everyone deserves to live independently and with dignity. But for too many of us, the very real fear of scammers who target our elderly and most vulnerable makes that right to live independently a challenge for many of us and our loved ones. That's especially true around the…

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ days

  Friend, when we tell you the election year is coming up fast – we mean it. We’re officially less than 100 days from the Illinois congressional primaries. This will be the first time I'm on the ballot this cycle. My team and I are working hard on the ground doing voter outreach and s…

The Department of Defense is coming after me

You can bet this was ordered by Donald Trump and carried out by Pete Hegseth. But right now, that's besides the point.   The Department of Defense is coming after me because they don’t like what I have to say. When I was 22 years old, I swore an oath to the Constitution. I've upheld t…

Big Pharma plays games. I’m fighting back.

  Friend, Ever found yourself standing at the medicine cabinet, counting pills? Not for health reasons, but because you're trying to stretch your prescription just a few more days? You’re not alone. I hear about it all the time, including from my local pharmacist at Jewel-Osco in Moli…

Add your name: Hegseth has to go

  Team, Pete Hegseth has to go. It's that simple. If this feels like an old story, that's because this isn't new -- despite every warning possible, Hegseth continues to arrogantly share highly classified military plans over unsecured chats. Every single post in these reckless group ch…

A quick note of gratitude, and a next step.

  Friend, I just wanted to say thanks. Whether you’ve chipped in, signed a petition, or simply stayed informed, your support makes a real difference in this work. This job can be intense sometimes. Just the other day, I witnessed Marjorie Taylor Greene shouting out her colleagues for …

What I’m doing, and how I hope you can help

I'm glad I caught you, friend. I know the last thing you want to think about is fundraising during the end of a holiday weekend. But midnight tonight marks an important fundraising deadline. At the moment, we’re still coming up $2,513 short of our online fundraising goal. Will you rush in a donat…

A fight powered by you

  Friend,  My roots run deep in IL-17— my parents met in Peoria, I grew up in Rockford, and now I’m proud to live in the Quad Cities with Shawn and our dogs, Petey and Oliver. It has been my life’s privilege to give folks here the support they needed to get ahead. The future of IL-17…

Sharing my favorite holiday recipe (HINT: 🎃)

  Friend, As we near Thanksgiving, it's important to take stock of our situation and those around us. We are all in the same storm, but we are NOT all in the same boat. That's why, if there’s anything we need more of us in the world, it’s kindness and compassion. Some people in this w…

Affordable healthcare is a human right

A provision you might have missed:

Make it six months or a year?

  Friend, It’s that time of the year again. I recently received the renewal notice for my campaign’s PO Box, and my mind raced back to one of the toughest early decisions I had to make as a new, inexperienced candidate back in October 2021. Should I rent the PO Box for six months – en…

Leading the fight for our soybean farmers

  American agriculture is the pride of the agricultural world. And Illinois is the soybean farming capital of our country, friend. Over 43,000 strong soybean farmers call our state home. It is even our official state bean! Donald Trump doesn’t know that, but he should. Because his rec…

Electing an ally who shows up

A tradeoff that made plenty of sense:

Republicans are targeting our seniors

  413%.  That’s how much health insurance premiums could increase in districts like ours, friend -- hitting older Americans the hardest. And it’s not a hypothetical.  That’s the real math that Republicans -- who have control of the House, Senate, White House, and the Supreme Court -- …

Yes, it is discrimination

This is not how democracy works.
