“It's not that we need more Democrats in Springfield—we just need better ones.”
An Out-of-Touch Incumbent
Instead of fighting with urgency for housing or better transit, our incumbent senator is focused on expanding gambling.

Unchallenged for 30 years—until now

Springfield failed us. We need better fighters.
We don't need to settle for second best. We deserve leaders with the courage to fight.
