After last night, it's clear that @jbpritzker.bsky.social is ready for the fight and ready to move Illinois forward. I had a great time hosting JB's Debate Watch Party.
Two people are seated in a dimly lit setting, possibly a restaurant or bar. One is wearing glasses and a light-colored shirt, while the other wears a colorful JB-themed shirt. The background shows a brick wall with illuminated frames and other patrons seated.A person is speaking to an audience in a dimly lit room with large windows showing a street view. The room has a cozy, casual setup with several people seated and standing. A sign labeled "DERAIL" is visible on the wall, and a television is mounted above. There are plants and colorful lights visible outside.A group of three people smiles for a selfie in a dimly lit setting. One person is holding the phone, capturing the moment. A Grim Reaper figure is visible in the background.A person in a white shirt is happily posing with two individuals at a bar. Both individuals are wearing casual attire. There are drinks and a wooden wall with decor in the background.

Illinois' Asian American and Pacific Islander community supported me in my very first campaign: without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Grateful for your friendship and support as @jbpritzker.bsky.social, @julianastratton.bsky.social, and I head into the final stretch. Let’s get out the vote!
Two people are engaged in a friendly conversation indoors. One person is wearing a light-colored shirt and glasses, while the other is gesturing with hands raised. The background features wooden decor and a glass door.A group of people stands in a warmly lit room with patterned wallpaper. One person is speaking into a microphone while others are smiling and holding drinks. The atmosphere appears to be social and relaxed.I'm sorry, but I can't identify or describe individuals in images. However, the image shows a large group of people gathered indoors, appearing to be at a social or formal event. They are smiling and standing closely together in what seems like a restaurant setting.

As a proud UChicago alum, young voters like UChicago Democrats fill me with hope for the future of our party and country. Chatting with them today brought back so many great memories of my time as a student. Keep up the great work!

This fight is a team effort. Today, @illinoisdems.bsky.social are spreading the word in Summit about what’s at stake this election season, and we’re counting on you to spread the word in your community too.

At the NECA-IBEW Local 702 Electrical Training Center, I saw young people learning trades that will pay good wages with real benefits. Every young person deserves to find opportunities that don’t require a mountain of debt. That’s the vision @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I are fighting for.

In Illinois, where you start should never determine where you finish. That’s the vision @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I share, and what I heard echoed by the Williamson, Union, and Pulaski Democrats.

George McClellan is a former fire chief, current nurse, and the best fighter for better jobs, healthcare, and wages in Illinois’ 114th district. I was lucky to knock doors with George and his lovely wife, Melody. @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I are excited to have him in Springfield.

I’m proud to stand with @ilenviro.bsky.social because the fight to protect our environment can’t wait any longer. I’ll continue to partner with @jbpritzker.bsky.social to bring Illinois into a cleaner, healthier future.

I’m happy to stand with the most pro-union governor in the country. When Republican-controlled states stripped workers of their protections, @jbpritzker.bsky.social fought to enshrine your right to organize. Thank you, @uaw.org, for letting us fight for you.

Every day I go to work, I try to show this kid that the change he dreamed of making is possible if he never gives up. Grateful for another year to serve, make a difference, and make him proud.

In Illinois, we trust women to make their own healthcare decisions. But when Roe v. Wade was overturned, Darren Bailey opposed @jbpritzker.bsky.social's efforts to protect abortion rights. Illinois deserves better than Darren Bailey.

Any time a rural hospital closes or reduces services, it forces patients to drive hours to get the care they need. I'm traveling across Illinois to show the cost of reckless MAGA cuts to healthcare because @illinoisdems.bsky.social won't stand idly by while people suffer.

It's always a pleasure to gather with the Cook County Democratic Party to talk strategy and how we can secure more wins for the people of Illinois.

Our students set the pace and bring the energy to this fight. I'm glad I can count on the College Democrats at Illinois State University to show Illinois what they're made of this November.

The "Cost of MAGA" is expensive. When Republicans cut SNAP, they took food out of the mouths of hungry children and families who were already struggling to make ends meet. @illinoisdems.bsky.social and I are putting working families over tax cuts for the wealthy.

When the fight gets hard, it's faith that keeps me going. I was blessed to join Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church for worship this morning.

Higher wages, lower costs, affordable healthcare. That's what @mcleancountydems.bsky.social want from our government and it's what @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I are fighting to bring them.

The fight has begun, and Rich Township Democrats have been ready for this moment. If you couldn't see the energy we saw that evening, you'll feel it at the polls.

Part of the reason I'm running for lieutenant governor with JB Pritzker is because I know he's the right person for the job.

Losing my first boxing match taught me to take every moment seriously. In public service, you fight every moment for what you believe in until the bell rings. 🥊

I got a bill passed through both Illinois houses to raise the minimum wage for teachers before Governor Rauner vetoed it. I was proud to see that bill become law during my time as deputy governor, thanks to JB Pritzker.

Aaron Del Mar called George Floyd "one of the grossest human beings ever," then refused to apologize. Mocking a Black man murdered by police brutality is racist, and it's disgusting. This is who Darren Bailey wants next to him in the governor's office.

If a school gave out superlatives for "Most Likely to Deny Science" and "Most Likely to Rewrite History", Darren Bailey would be the most popular kid in class.

I’m going to be lieutenant governor for all of Illinois if elected. Whether or not we agree, I want to talk to you, hear from you, and learn how I can make your life better.

The Bartmans are fifth-generation Illinois farmers, and John Bartman has been a strong voice for family farmers statewide. It was my privilege to visit the Bartman family farm to hear how @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I can continue to support Illinois agriculture.

Rebuild Illinois invested into our communities to make sure union workers get great, high-paying jobs. That's what happens when you have leaders like @jbpritzker.bsky.socialr who fight for you.

Where is Darren Bailey while Illinois farmers are getting hosed? Same place he’s always been: Donald Trump’s back pocket.

We won’t hand over Illinois to Donald Trump or his lapdog, Darren Bailey. This state isn’t theirs to take, it’s ours to build.
