Before we jump into the work ahead of us in the new year, I want to pause and say thank you.
Because of you, we closed out 2025 strong. We made it clear that IL-03 is not a seat that the far right can buy, bully, or pry away from working families.
I know how many demands the holiday season places on people. I know how difficult it can be to contribute. But you showed up, with your voices, your time, your donations, and your belief in something better.
And now, because of that, we get to start 2026 with the momentum we need to fight for immigrant rights, an economy that protects working families, peace and accountability abroad, and a government that answers to the people, not billionaires or corporations.
This movement only works because you make it work. I never take that for granted.
So thank you for standing with me, for believing in our vision, and for helping power this fight into a new year.
