Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
A year and a half ago I stood before you and promised that if you sent me to the United States Senate, I would fight tooth and nail for you. I promised that I would bring a bold new vision to Washington and not give Donald Trump an inch.
Well, you held up your end of the bargain, and now I’m ready to hold up mine. I am incredibly proud to stand before you today as the next U.S. Senator from the great state of Illinois.
This moment is about more than any one of us. It’s a mandate for change, for bold new leadership, and to put our country back on the path towards progress and prosperity. You’ve entrusted me with a monumental responsibility, and I don’t take it lightly. But I’m ready.
Let’s get to work.

What we found in @Brandon4Chicago petitions … another candidate’s petitions tossed in as well as photocopies. You must file originals. Look for a challenge.

We have no time to lose! On Monday, all three defendants filed petitions to get on the mayoral ballot. The court must rule once and for all: Is it illegal to run for two positions at once? #chicago#quinlanforchicago#lawsuit#politics#saynotothestatusquo
Will they be disqualified from either race, putting the voters' right to choose at risk? If they get kicked off their ballots, we risk handing our house seat to the Republicans during an incredibly crucial midterm election
