John,

A defining moment is unfolding in Illinois’ 9th District — and I need your help.



I’m running to succeed Rep. Jan Schakowsky in one of the bluest and most diverse districts in the country. 

I’m 27, an elected official, an activist, and a community organizer. I was the first woman of my generation elected to public office. With over 7 years of service, I’m ready to bring a rare combination of youth and experience to Congress.

But powerful forces are trying to stop me.

MAGA billionaires and AIPAC have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race to handpick their preferred candidate and buy a seat in a district they don’t live in. I’m now one of the top-funded candidates and a frontrunner — but I cannot match that kind of money without people like you standing with me.

If you believe IL-09 deserves someone homegrown, someone who knows this community, someone who will fight for everyone who calls it home — I’m asking you to step up.

Will you rush a donation of $50, $25, or whatever is meaningful to you to help me defeat the MAGA billionaires and AIPAC donors trying to buy this seat?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:



Or multiply your impact with a monthly recurring donation!

Thank you for being part of this movement,

Bushra Amiwala

Democrat for IL-09
