Once upon a time, it was typical for members of Congress to host regular town halls in their districts to meet constituents, answer questions, and discuss important local issues.
But that’s not so typical anymore, folks.
When I defeated Peter Roskam back in 2018, he hadn’t held a single town hall during ANY of his four terms in Congress. And he’s not the only one. Many of my Republican colleagues are afraid of being confronted and terrified of being held accountable.
Before I explain further: Will you chip in $25 to help Democrats win in Illinois and make sure we’re on track to file a strong FEC fundraising report next week?

I’ve always preferred to face things head-on. That was always my tune in business, and I’m still singing it now.
When the former President was impeached, I held a town hall to have an honest conversation with folks about my vote. When inflation took off, I held a town hall to discuss it. I held one on red-lining and segregation in Chicago neighborhoods. And I could go on and on … and on.
The point is: If you get people in a room together, you can have a respectful, thoughtful discussion. I won’t sugar-coat my opinions, but we all understand each other a little better when we’re dealing with the same set of facts.
I’ll continue having those tough conversations wherever I can. But I need your help to continue standing up as a voice for truth, reason, and accountability in Washington.
So, will you cast a (metaphorical) vote for honesty and integrity by pitching in $25 toward my $20,000 FEC End-of-Quarter goal before next week’s deadline?
