Chicago needs more housing, and we shouldn’t let NIMBYs stand in the way of building it. I am featured in today’s Tribune about the proposed redevelopment of Emanuel Congregation and why saying “yes in my backyard” is the right move. Read more: www.chicagotribune.com/2026/09/07/l...

Thanks to @nickforillinois.bsky.social for this great explanation about how single stair reform can help us build more missing middle housing and create safer, more affordable places to live!

I don’t own a car, and I don’t want one. What I love most about the CTA is the sense of community it creates. It reminds us that every day, we are moving through the city together. Read my thoughts on transit and making it even better in @chicagotribune.com: www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/08/l...

Letters: Readers share how the CTA makes them happy and how it infuriates them
While the CTA is not perfect, I believe progress is being made.

This race is about whether Springfield keeps doing the same thing or whether we fight harder. The Tribune recognizes that urgency. But the real endorsement that matters to me is—well—yours. 😊 Election Day is tomorrow. Let’s finish strong. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/12/e...

This race is bigger than one Senate seat. It’s about what kind of Democratic Party we want to be. Do we keep protecting the same insiders who have held power for decades? Or do we build a Party that fights harder for working people and the communities being left behind?

For over 30 years, the Machine has protected an out-of-touch incumbent. Now they’re lying to voters to keep her there. Meanwhile, Sen. Feigenholtz won’t debate me and hasn’t shown up to events she committed to where voters were waiting. We'll outwork them. Join us: www.mobilize.us/nickforillin...

I’m proud that these groups could come together to condemn Draft Kings and Meta’s involvement in the Illinois House District 13 race. I wish the 40th and 47th Ward Dems would hold themselves to the same standard with Sara Feigenholtz who is benefitting from the same.

These reforms won’t lower the cost of housing or flip a switch on development overnight, but they will go a long way in encouraging more housing supply, which is sorely needed.
