This is what a fighter looks like

Our new video dropped—and it captures exactly what this campaign is about:

A fighter shows up.
A fighter listens.
A fighter knocks 40,000 doors because our neighbors come first.
I’m running to deliver for the 6th District—and I’m just getting started.

Every day on the doors, I’m reminded why this fight matters.

This weekend in Lincoln Park, someone told me they’ve lived in the neighborhood for 12 years and never once had their state senator come to their door. They thanked me for showing up and for proving that I’m serious about serving the people of this district—not just talking about it.

Yesterday in Old Town, a neighbor said he’d never had any candidate knock his door before. We talked about how housing costs have exploded and how rising property taxes are hitting families who are already stretched thin. Before I left, he told me he’s voting for me on March 17 because I actually listen—and because I’m willing to do the work most politicians avoid.

And in Lakeview, someone opened the door and immediately shared how frustrated they are watching wealth keep getting redistributed upward—to the wealthiest billionaires—while everyone else struggles to keep up with rent, groceries, student loans, child care, and everything in between. We commiserated for a bit, and I told them exactly why I’m not taking a single dime from corporations in this campaign: I want to fight for the people who live here—not for the corporations and ultra-wealthy interests more focused on protecting their power than building the future we deserve.

But in Illinois, we have a full Democratic supermajority: the House, Senate, and the governor. Yet, all these issues keep compounding. The solution?

We don’t necessarily need more Democrats. We need better Democrats.

Ones who fight hard.
Ones you’ll see in the neighborhood—on my bike, walking down Broadway, or yes, even at a bar.
Ones unafraid to take a swing at the systems that aren’t working—whether that’s the federal government’s overreach or the status quo here in our own party.

I’m ready to be that fighter for you in Springfield.
