I am running for United States Senate.

For too long, the middle class has been centered on the campaign trail but sidelined when it comes to real governance. 

I’ve spent the last seven years serving as Lieutenant Governor of the great state of Illinois, and I’ve seen firsthand the progress that’s possible when we treat the needs of middle-class families as a focal point, not just a talking point.

As Donald Trump and Republicans continue their relentless attack on Americans  – driving up prices with his trade war, sending masked agents to snatch our neighbors off the streets, and stripping us of healthcare and food assistance – we need new voices in Washington who will stand firm and fight fiercely.

I am that leader, and I promise to fight every day for the people of Illinois.
