Big news! Thanks to the depth and breadth of support we’ve received, we were able to release our first ad!

I'm not a career politician. I'm a husband, father of three, and business owner, and I've spent my career supporting hundreds of businesses and creating thousands of good-paying, union jobs. Chicago and the 7th District mean everything to me, and I'm ready to go to Washington to take on Trump and deliver results for our community.

Statewide early in-person voting begins today!

I just cast my ballot, make sure to grab your friends and family and head to the polls!

[Jason Friedman @JasonFriedmanIL]

Another great night connecting with our community! This campaign is only possible because of grassroots support from our neighbors, and I will continue working around the clock to earn your vote and your support. Good governance begins with meeting people where they are.

Thank you @1NearNorth for allowing me to share my story with our neighbors on the Near North Side. I really appreciated the thoughtful questions about supporting community violence intervention programs and grassroots change.

The Supreme Court has delivered a decisive victory for the American people by striking down Trump's illegal, unconstituional tariffs. 

Americans across the country have been paying the price for Trump's reckless economic policy and politics of retribution. While we have a long way to go towards lowering costs and building an economy that works for everyone, the Supreme Court's decision has given us a bit of hope that Trump can be reined in. 

In Congress, I will continue fighting tooth and nail to deliver a more affordable future for our neighbors and working families.

"At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division." 

Today we honor the legacy of civil rights pioneer Rev. Jesse Jackson. Our hearts are with his loved ones.

On this Presidents’ Day, we reflect on what true leadership for this country means – selfless public servitude, compassion, and a vision for a future that lifts us all up, together.

“I shall, when the time comes, try to do right, in view of all the lights then before me.”

Happy birthday to former Congressman for Illinois’ 7th District, Abe Lincoln, whose legacy remains a beacon of hope for Illinoisans and Americans everywhere.
