Nick Uniejewski Launches Digital Ad Calling for “Better Democrats”

New digital ad emphasizes affordability and calls for “better Democrats” willing to challenge the status quo in Springfield.

Chicago, IL – Democratic State Senate candidate Nick Uniejewski announced the launch of his campaign’s first ad focused on affordability and the need for Democrats in Illinois to do more to address rising costs.

The ad delivers a direct message: “it's not that we need more Democrats in Springfield—we just need better ones.” With housing costs rising and everyday expenses putting pressure on everyone, the ad calls for leaders willing to challenge broken systems and fight for real solutions.

“We need Democrats who aren’t satisfied with the status quo while costs keep rising,” said Uniejewski. “People deserve leaders who will fight to make housing more affordable and ensure our communities remain places people can afford to live.”

Uniejewski’s focus on affordability earned him the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune, which called affordability “the issue of this political moment” and highlighted his urgency and housing expertise.

Uniejewski’s campaign is 100% grassroots and does not accept corporate PAC contributions, relying on individual supporters and volunteers across the 6th District.

The ad will run on digital and streaming platforms ahead of the March 17 election.
