#CampaignFundsForChildcare is a vital resource for moms like me to run for office. I’m proud to serve as a Vote Mama State Chair, and I’m proud to be in the fight to expand #CFCC w/ @VoteMamaFdn
Our policies have failed families for generations.
We need:
✅ diversity in office
✅ equity in campaigns
✅ more moms in office
We need to make childcare part of the electoral process.
We need to pass #CampaignFundsForChildcare.

All right, let's try something new. If you’re in the United States, send me a text at 773-365-9687 — I want to hear how you're doing, what's on your mind, and how you're planning on voting this year.
I'll be in touch from time to time to share what's on my mind, too.
“If we support more moms in their runs, & we normalize what it looks like to run as a mom... you’ll start to change the conversation at the table,” @liuba4congress said.
”You’ll start to prioritize legislation that will actually help working families.”

It is all of you, the families and individual residents of Illinois, who are making the biggest difference in our fight against COVID-19.
You all are the first line of protection in your communities, in your households, for yourselves.
As Dr. Ezike and I told you yesterday, our rate of rise is looking less and less exponential.
That indicates to us that we are in fact bending the curve.
There is even some evidence we may be moving toward a flatter curve, but we need to keep watching the daily data.
If you're wondering where Biden has been:
He's quietly set up a shadow government, is connecting governors with PPE suppliers, etc
He is effectively already the President of the United States.

My administration is doing everything in our power to support working families & small businesses during this time—which means a lot of new information coming at you every day.
https://t.co/N4dyxlhbBO is your hub for all the resources we’ve developed in response to this crisis.
We're using every tool at our disposal to respond to #COVID19.
But as rumors continue to swirl, I do want to assure all of you: essential services will always remain open.
Grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations — the things we all need — will not be closing down.
In addition to my stops in Belleville and Murphysboro today, Dr. Ezike and I stopped by the @IDPH Carbondale lab and saw first hand how hard our staff is working to process tests.
We have statewide coverage in our efforts to combat #COVID19.
We will get through this together.
We're here at the St. Clair County Health Dept. in Belleville this morning to discuss the statewide response to #COVID19.
From everything we know about the virus, no place and no person is immune.
That’s why it’s crucial that we take significant preventative measures.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! 🍀

We lost an Illinoisan to COVID-19 today & my thoughts are with the family & friends who are grieving this loss.
There are going to be moments during the next few weeks & months when this burden feels like it is more than we can bear. But we will bear it. We will get through it.
Illinoisans are facing unprecedented challenges due to #COVID19, but we're here to help:
✔️ Expanded & sped up unemployment insurance
✔️ Called for moratorium on utility shutoffs & late fees
✔️ Working with food banks & manufacturers
✔️ Filing waiver to expand Medicaid
.@IllinoisDCEO has secured the necessary documentation to declare a statewide Economic Injury Declaration with @SBAgov — ensuring all of our 102 counties qualify for assistance.
Once approved by the SBA, you’ll be able to access this through our DCEO website.
My administration working expeditiously to support working families & mitigate the challenges facing small businesses.
After contacting over 3,000 businesses, Illinois will file for statewide eligibility in the @SBAgov loan program for small businesses facing financial hardship.
