“Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke . . . She will need her sisterhood.” Thank you, Gloria. For everything. ♥️

While we didn’t get the result we wanted, I’m so deeply appreciative to all the volunteers and supporters who made our campaign possible! I’ll keep pushing for a Democratic Party that represents the needs of the people and for campaign finance reform. And, I hope you will too. Thank you so much!

I voted. Will you? “When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” -Audre Lorde

The Economic Policy Institute has put together a tool that shows you how our tax dollars—that are being used to pay for mass deportations- could be spent in our communities. Abolish ICE. Establish a functional immigration system. And, invest in our communities. #democraticprimary #ct01 #vote

We have the power to shape our future... we just have to elect people who will work for it! Happy voting, Connecticut. Let's do this! #congressneedsasocialworker #congress #democraticprimary #ct01 #peoplepower

The reason wages aren’t increasing but costs are, environmental policies have stalled, and healthcare is abysmal is because Congress members have been bought by the billionaire class and corporations. #billionaireenergy #democraticprimary #enoughmailers #investinpeople #congressneedsasocialworker

I ask Congressman Larson to sign on to Congressman Jamie Raskin’s letter, calling on the Administration to do everything in their power to secure the release of Dr. Abu Safiya. #congress #palestine #healthcare #gaza

I'm open to term limits and maximum age limits, but until we get money out of politics, the same billionaires, corporations, and special interests will continue to buy our candidates. #campaignfinance #termlimits #congress #corporategreed #democraticprimary

It's never been about the money; it's about the political will. We need to elect people who want to invest in you, not themselves. #vote #congress #democraticprimary #ct01 #congressneedsasocialworker

No U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Israeli government and no taking AIPAC money. #democraticprimary #ct01 #congress #aug11

Jillian Gilchrest @jilchrest.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Going on and on about not taking corporate PAC money when your campaign money comes from billionaires and the CEOs of corporations, private equity, data centers, and hedge funds is disingenuous. Don't allow them to buy this seat! #peoplepower #democraticprimary #congress #corporategreed

Jillian Gilchrest @jilchrest.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

This is the final weekend before early voting. Whatever your comfort level, join us for volunteer activities in West Hartford or Wethersfield! You can door-knock, phone-bank, send texts, or write postcards! #democraticprimary #congress #ct01 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Politicians use immigration. We have the power and money to create an effective immigration system. To change how Washington works, we need to change who works for us in Washington. #democraticprimary #ct01 #congressneedsasocialworker #aug11 #ice

Billionaires and the CEOs of corporations, private equity, data centers, and hedge funds aren't donating to your campaign from the kindness of their hearts. They're trying to influence our politics. #citizensunited #democraticprimary #ct01 #corporategreed #taxtherich

We need to get money out of politics in order to pass policies that will improve everyday people’s lives— increased wages, Medicare for all, environmental reforms, reducing costs. #congressneedsasocialworker #ct01 #peoplepower #congress #democraticprimary

We need a significant federal investment in public education. It is not sustainable to have the costs continue to fall on municipalities. This just increases taxes and exacerbates inequities.#publiceducation #teachers #paraprofessional #ct01 #democraticprimary

So appreciative of the organizers of Dessert & Dialogue, a “speed dating” format that allowed the public to ask candidates questions in small groups. Election Day is right around the corner! Tuesday, August 11th. Early voting, August 3-9, and absentee ballots are available now! #community #vote
