From the workers who forge our steel to those who build and protect our infrastructure, this broad support from Illinois' labor movement is a testament to our shared commitment to fiscal responsibility and economic justice.

#LaborStrong #UnionProud #KifowitForComptroller #ILComptroller #Endorsed

Incredible momentum for our campaign! I am deeply honored to receive the endorsements of both the United Steelworkers District 7 and the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers & Allied Workers Local 11.

Public sector unions built the middle class. They ensure that the people who teach our kids, keep our streets safe, and care for our sick can afford to live in the communities they serve. I stand with them 100%. An attack on their rights is an attack on all workers. #PublicSectorUnions #UnionStrong

No one should have to risk their life for a paycheck. Strong safety regulations and the right to refuse unsafe work are non-negotiable. I'll always stand with workers against any attempt to roll back these vital protections. #WorkerSafety #HealthBeforeProfit

Happy Veterans Day and also celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Marines! We must support our veterans. From veteran to veteran, thank you for your service!

#VeteransDay #MarineCorpsBirthday #USMC250 #SemperFi

Automation and AI should empower workers, not replace them. I stand for policies that ensure technology creates more jobs with better wages, not mass layoffs. The future of work must be built by and for workers. #PeopleOverAI #ProWorker

Congratulations to @abigailspanberger.com and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on their well-earned victories! Both served our country before serving in Congress & they’re showing that women w/ service backgrounds are a winning force for Dems. Let’s keep the momentum going here in IL! #VoteVets #Democrat

New Endorsement Announcement! 📢

Grateful to receive the endorsement of the Painters District Councils 14, 30, and 58! This isn't just another endorsement; it's a powerful statement of my commitment to labor.

What’s spookier than an irresponsible budget?

I am so happy to announce the National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 219 has endorsed me for IL Comptroller! The Letter Carriers help our state economy function and I am so grateful to announce their support of my campaign! #UnionStrong #WorkersRights #Illinois #Comptroller #TeamKifowit

I’m deeply grateful for their trust and support. Our unions are the foundation of Illinois’ economy, and I’m proud to stand with them in solidarity.

The Illinois Federation of Public Employees, Local 4408, represents approximately 1,500 hardworking men and women employed across more than sixty professional titles in twenty State agencies. Their commitment to public service and advocacy for workers’ rights strengthens communities across Illinois.

I’m honored to share that the Illinois Federation of Public Employees, Local 4408, has officially endorsed my campaign for Illinois Comptroller.

I’m the most qualified candidate to keep Illinois’ finances accountable, transparent, and on track.

I’m ready to be your fiscal drill instructor and ensure our state’s financial future stays strong. #KifowitForIL #TeamKiffy #kifowitforcomptroller #ILComptroller

Boots on the ground, not just words on a page. I’m proud to have personally collected nearly 3,000 signatures from Illinoisans who are ready for a Comptroller who works as hard as they do. With years of fiscal experience, leadership, and public service.

We did it! A huge thank you to every volunteer and team member who hit the streets and every supporter who signed. Because of you, we got over 900 pages and around 12,000 signatures! I'm ready to work for YOU to help make a more accountable Illinois! #TeamKifowit #THANKYOU #TeamKiffy

The ongoing ICE campaign in Chicago & the broader area is a deliberate attack on our communities.

This state violence is a profound disruption to our safety and our well-being. It is not normal and must be rejected. I stand with the people of the Chicago area and all communities holding the line.

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

While organized labor is under direct attack from Washington, we cannot have a passive defense in Illinois. The Comptroller’s office must be the backstop to ensure our laws are followed and a robust audit, which requires a certified payroll, should be done before any payment goes out the door.

Protecting higher-ed resources means protecting taxpayer dollars from being mismanaged. I'll bring transparency, Illinois deserves a Comptroller who shows the books, calls out inefficiency, and fights for every dollar to go to its purpose. #ILComptroller #ILHigherEd #higherEd #ILSchools #University

When I’m elected as the next IL Comptroller, I'll stand up for students and schools. When funds are promised, they get released — no delays, no “bureaucracy excuses.” I'll hold the line on waste. ...

As Comptroller, I am dedicated to being the backstop for Illinois, ensuring accountability and protecting our state's resources.

The countless conversations with folks throughout Illinois that fuel campaign. My commitment to public service has always been about one thing: upholding the public trust.
