Running for Lt. Governor means getting to do what I love most:
Meeting Illinoisans where they are and listening to what they need.

However you're spending today, with family, friends, or quietly at home, I hope it's filled with warmth.
Happy Easter, Illinois.
@jbpritzker.bsky.social knows that behind every policy that we fight for there is a family like mine trying to hold it together and to build a better life.
.@jbpritzker.bsky.social and I believe in a different way forward—that's why I'm proud to be his running mate.
The odds of a kid who grew up like I did, and looks like I do, having the opportunity like this one aren’t all that high.

Lower costs.
Affordable education.
Clean energy.
That's the future @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I believe in.
My life changed when a friend of mine asked me to sit down with a guy named JB Pritzker.
I haven't looked back since.

@jbpritzker.bsky.social and I are going to make you proud.
A fighter through and through.

Had the chance to sit down with Mayors from across Southern Illinois today.
None of our progress downstate happens without their leadership. Not a single bit of it. On behalf of Illinois — thank you.
A great conversation with Tahman Bradley on The Point on WGNNews.
If you walk away with anything from our interview, I want it to be this:

So great spending time with the Will County Democrats last night! My first job in politics was as an organizer, and I’ve seen firsthand that organizing works.
Thank you for moving Illinois forward — one door at a time.
I still believe we can create the beloved community — and so does @jbpritzker.bsky.social. That's why we're in this fight.
Grateful to have attended a deeply meaningful Sunday service at the Apostolic Church of God.

It was a great night with the Palos Township Democrats!
The reason Illinois is so well-equipped for what we're seeing right now?
We knew how to stand up to a bully.

After the devastating 2023 tornado, @jbpritzker.bsky.social r and @illinoisdems.bsky.social moved fast to help rebuild the airport and save countless jobs. That’s leadership worth celebrating.
Thank you, Crawford County Dems, for hosting me, and for all your incredible work.
Because that worked out so well the last time.

There is nothing more important we can do than have face-to-face conversations with our friends and neighbors.
It was a pleasure to join the Greater Springfield Democrats for their Meet and Greet.
Right now, I know turning on the news can seem like a rollercoaster of sorrow.
But I'm running because I still believe that the state, nation, and world we see outside these four walls is not the best that we can make it.
Christian smiles with Senator Durbin.
Senator Durbin has been a giant in Illinois politics all my life.
I was glad to help celebrate him and his decades of public service with the Peoria County Democrats.
CUT.
THE.
CHECK.
