I'm so grateful to see Sunny reunited with her family back at home, and looking forward to telling her story tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who helped elevate her situation, showed up, and helped to get her released.

If you are talking about Sunny Naqvi, but not the Muslim Ban… 👀

US Born Citizen Sunny Naqvi unlawfully detained by ICE for “inconsistent travel.” She is safe and home.

There are 85 countries on the most recent Muslim, African and Latin American Ban as a part of Trump’s 2.0 Muslim Ban.

Honored to be certified by the Young Democrats of Chicago!

From the neighborhoods of the 9th District to communities across our city, young leaders are stepping up to shape the future of our country. I’m proud to stand alongside them as we build a more just, inclusive, and representative future.

My name is Bushra Amiwala, and I look forward to earning your vote

True leadership means lifting others with you, not pretending and lying about being the “only,” having the HIGHEST favorables in a race with 15 candidates, AND calling out the media bias + fear mongering once and for all.

And clearly the voters really appreciated it too.

11 days. One mission.

Early voting has officially started across the district! I’m at Robert Crown in Evanston today - come say hi and cast your ballot.

Remember: PUNCH 34 for the future of IL-09! 🗳️

Amiwala’s pitch? Ignore the noise and don’t count her out - Evanston Now Congressional candidate, despite trailing in the polls, has resisted calls to drop out. Here's why she thinks she can win.

NEW from me: Bushra Amiwala sees your comments telling her to drop out and endorse someone else in #IL09

Her response?

"It’s probably because they think the shy, timid, Muslim woman can get bullied into dropping out and endorsing a different person ... Your vote is not going to go to waste.”

If you’re 17 now but will be 18 by Nov. 3, 2026, you can vote in the March 17 primary.

Register at any early voting site or on Election Day and make your voice heard. Punch 34 for Bushra Amiwala. 🗳️

50th Ward United Working Families showed up strong last weekend! 🙏

Join us this weekend in Skokie and Morton Grove as we take Bushra’s message to voters: affordable healthcare for all, protecting immigrant families, and standing up for working people instead of billionaires.

SNAP isn’t just a budget line item.

I grew up on SNAP benefits in Illinois. It wasn’t a “handout.” It was the hand up that helped me stand here today as a candidate for Congress.

Today, a family of four in Illinois generally must earn under about $53,000 a year to qualify.

The worst DHS Secretary in history has lost her job.

Noem’s legacy will be remembered for lawlessness and violence against the American people, and for disrespecting democratic norms we hold dear.

Congress must investigate these abuses of power and ensure every perpetrator is brought to justice.

Enough is enough. We need:
1. A federal ban on AI freshwater use.
