This fight is personal. I’ve had to battle my own insurance company just to access PrEP, and I know the barriers people face. As I run for State Senate, I’ll defend Illinois’ progress and push it further—because our state proves what compassionate, data-driven leadership can do. Silence = death.

We’ve come so far. Illinois has become a national leader in HIV prevention—we’ve expanded access, invested in care, and set a bold goal of fewer than 100 new HIV diagnoses a year by 2030. Tools like PrEP (a daily pill that cuts HIV risk by up to 99%) make that progress possible.

U.S., Trump administration won't commemorate World AIDS Day this year
The U.S. will not commemorate World AIDS Day this year. This action, along with recent federal funding cuts, could contribute to a resurgence of HIV/AIDS.
Today is #WorldAIDSDay, and I’m more determined than ever. The federal government refused to recognize it for the first time since 1988—a deliberate erasure. But here’s the truth: our community has fought too hard, and we’ve made real progress that no one can silence. www.forbes.com/sites/davewe...

The holidays always starkly reveal how little investment we have in transit. Transit should be reliable on the days we’re collectively the most mobile. But it doesn’t need to be intense levels of service, just smart levels.

Thrilled (and not surprised) to see this endorsement. Anyone who's met @nickforillinois.bsky.social knows he's doing the work and meeting people wherever they are. That's what Chicago deserves from its electeds, and while I'm not a constituent, I'm rooting for him!

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.

Jumped on The Lightning Strike with Mohammed Faheem and Marie Newman this week to talk about the big fights ahead: housing, transit, and our bold plan for Illinois. We need better Democrats—ones unafraid to challenge the status quo.

It’s official—we’re FIRST on the ballot for State Senate in the 6th District!
For the first time since 1972, our neighbors have a choice for what kind of Democrat we send to Springfield. With no Republican running, the March 17 Democratic Primary is the election.

Thank you to Indivisible Lincoln Park/Lakeview for an incredible conversation—our 200th salon! We talked health care, fighting corporate power, and the future we deserve.
The old guard’s had their turn—it’s time we elect better Democrats with the courage to fight.

I’ve heard it all: families putting off surgeries, people priced out of their neighborhoods, and neighbors terrified of what Trump’s allies are doing to our country.
And instead of fighting for the people, Senator Durbin sold us out.
We need Democrats who fight for us—not fold under pressure.

We continue to fight the injustice and terror ICE has brought into our neighborhoods—from a preschool teacher taken in front of children in North Center to the inhumane conditions at Broadview. Our communities deserve dignity, safety, and justice.

A day care teacher was taken by ICE in front of kids yesterday. It’s pure evil.
But last night, North Center showed up—because we keep us safe.
Grab a whistle. Record everything. And know that I’ll keep fighting alongside you every day.

I’ve watched too many friends get priced out of Lakeview. We can change this trajectory if we build more housing.
Join me Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 5:30 PM at the Center on Halsted to support 188 new homes and new neighbors.
