An Out-of-Touch Incumbent
Instead of fighting with urgency for housing or better transit, our incumbent senator is focused on expanding gambling.
Knock, Knock. Who’s There? It’s Nick!
With just 70 days until Election Day, we’re kicking off 2026 the exact way we plan to win this race: knocking on doors and talking with voters, everywhere, all the time.
We can’t settle for second best. The future of the Democratic Party starts here.
As this year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what we’ve built together—and what this moment demands from Democrats.
50,000 doors worth of gratitude
Over the past year, our campaign has knocked on more than 50,000 doors across all 10 wards of the 6th District.
This video captures the spirit of all of the joy, the work, and the community behind this campaign.
This is the window
I spent the last few days doing what I always do—knocking doors, talking to neighbors, showing up everywhere across our district. And the response said everything.
People are excited not just about a campaign, but about the world we can build when we elect better Democrats who actually fight.
This is what a fighter looks like
🎥 New video just dropped! A fighter shows up, listens, and knocks 40,000 doors. This is only the beginning.
We just hit 200 salons. We're just getting started.
In these dark times, we need leaders who show up year-round—not just before an election.
Join us for our next salon!
Corporate checks are calling the shots
A $5K check from a Trump voter, stacks of corporate cash, and protecting the status quo. We can do better.
What's happening in Broadview is not normal
This is not normal. This is our own government weaponizing itself against its people. These are horrifying times, but they are not hopeless ones. The only way we win is together.
We can fix housing in Illinois
This campaign is about building policies together, not politics-as-usual.
Underdogs fight harder. That’s how we’ll win.
A new poll just dropped, and it shows what we already knew: 50% of voters in this district are undecided.
That means half the district is still waiting for someone to fight for them — let’s do this!
Over 200 donors. $0 in corporate cash.
What we're building is people-powered, joyful, and 100% grassroots.
The housing crisis won’t fix itself
Outdated mandates are making housing unaffordable—and Springfield’s asleep at the wheel.
The Stories That Stay With Me
After 100 conversations, I’m not just hearing problems—I’m ready to solve them.
🎥 Watch our newest video and join the fight.
Unchallenged for 30 years—until now
We’re taking on an entrenched incumbent who hasn’t had a primary opponent in 30 years.
That’s three decades without having to run on the issues. People are ready for a change—and they’re ready for a fighter.
Springfield failed us. We need better fighters.
We don't need to settle for second best. We deserve leaders with the courage to fight.

Memorial Day reflections, a win for housing, and why Springfield needs year-round fighters.
