Today is Election Day! So many brave men and women sacrificed their lives for our democracy, lets honor them and exercise our right to vote.

@KwameRaoul No lie here. President Obama praised me before for doing what's right. In the Attorney General race, it's not right to rake in cash from utilities, tobacco firms and others directly dealing with the office. My loyalty is to the people and it's not for sale. #ilag

It was great to to visit the Kilpatrick Renaissance Senior Living today and talk to some people about why I'm running for Attorney General. I plan to stand up and protect consumers against big utilities. Now more than ever we should exercise our rights and go out and vote!

It was an honor to be able to attend the opening of the new Field of Hope at Wells High School. This new field will provide opportunities for students to participate in sports, and will also help to combat violence.

Thank you Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America for your Candidate distinction. As Attorney General I will continue to fight to limit and ban assault weapons in Illinois.

Campaigning this morning at Millennium Station, we're reminding everyone to vote today or tomorrow. Time is growing short to stand up for our democracy and against Donald Trump and the special interests. As Attorney General, I will be your lawyer in this fight. #ilag

Thanks to everyone at the Tinley Park Irish Parade for the warm (and sunny) welcome today. It was a great opportunity to connect with new and old friends while celebrating Irish heritage. #ilag

I was thrilled to join my friend, Senior Pastor Dan Willis, for services at Lighthouse Church of All Nations in Alsip. Such an inspiring house of worship! We were reminded of our obligation to serve God and others by being "oaks of righteousness." #ilag

When a candidate needs sustenance before the last get-out-the-vote push, there's no better place to get it than Valois in Hyde Park. The meal was great, made even better by the friendly staff and the warm family setting. Remember to stand up for our democracy Tuesday. Vote! #ilag

I had the honor of speaking this morning at Apostolic Church of God, led by Dr. Byron T. Brazier. In these troubled times for our nation, we remember the prophet Isaiah, who represents volunteerism and readiness to carry out the Lord's work. Let us learn from his example. #ilag

Thank you to the 49th Ward Dems for the chance this morning to speak at their get-out-the-vote meeting. Together, we can defeat the unconstitutional policies of Donald Trump, end pay-to-play politics, and breathe new life into our democracy. #ilag

[Pat Quinn @QuinnForIL]

It was a pleasure today to address the 49th Ward Dems and to catch up with longtime friends and supporters such as @cookcountyclerk David Orr and @JoeMoore49. who has special dispensation on St. Patrick’s Day to wear the colors of @LoyolaChicago. Go Ramblers! #ilag

Who needs red-light cameras? Pay-to-play Sen. Raoul, that's who. He's taken $20,000 in campaign money from the red-light camera industry. Here I am at 31st and King to say that as Attorney General, I will work for drivers when they are cheated by shady ticketing practices.

The latest utility cash infusion for Sen. Raoul brings his total to more than $78,000. That doesn't count the secret donors to the Super PAC running ads falsely attacking Pat Quinn. Voters need an Attorney General who stands with them, not the special interests. #ilag

[Pat Quinn @QuinnForIL]

Read it and weep: Ameren Illinois and its PAC checked in yesterday with $11,000 for Sen. Raoul. And last week he got $15,000 from Peoples Gas. The big utilities want a pal as Attorney General. They know that Pat Quinn will work for the ratepayers. Let's end pay to play. #ilag

[Pat Quinn @QuinnForIL]

Former State Senator Miguel del Valle said @LisaMadigan has fought unjust rate hikes by utilities. He said: "I know that Pat Quinn can build on that record and he is the last line of defense to make sure that ratepayers get the protection we need." #ilag

[Pat Quinn @QuinnForIL]

My thanks to former State Senator Miguel del Valle, who joined me today outside the offices of Peoples Gas. We spoke about how utilities are engaged in pay to play with donations to Sen. Raoul. As Attorney General, I will look out for ratepayers, not the utilities. #ilag

Today's walkout at Benito Juarez Community Academy in support of sensible gun regulation was inspiring. These students, and others across the U.S., showed Donald Trump what democracy is all about. #NationalStudentWalkout

[Pat Quinn @QuinnForIL]

Today I joined students and faculty of Benito Juarez Community Academy for their walkout to call for sensible gun regulation and an end to violence. Students knelt in memory of the victims of Parkland and others who lost their lives to gun violence. #NeverAgain
