Illinois Democrats are trying desperately to tie their opponents to ICE, including in one key state House race Illinois Democrats had been largely unified against President Donald Trump’s Chicago-area immigration enforcement crackdown. Now, the issue is being used as a political wedge in this spring’s Democ…

This is basically straight up lying to the voters by Jaime Andrade’s campaign, which is smearing his opponent by false accusing them of supporting ICE. Good campaign truth squadding by @olivia0.bsky.social

ENDORSEMENT ALERT: We're excited to endorse Miguel Alvelo Rivera for State Rep. in the 40th District!

For the last five years, he has served as Executive Director of the Latino Union of Chicago, building worker power and fighting back for our communities.

Miguel's campaign put out a press release regarding this mailer that can be found here: www.instagram.com/p/DU4tIf0DVG...

Miguel is the executive director of an organization trusted with organizing and defending undocumented workers, and this sort of activity erodes trust in the sort of leaders and organizations our communities need to turn to for assistance.

This mailer sent out by Friends of Jaime Andrade accusing Miguel Alvelo-Rivera and his allies of being ICE supporters is not only a lie but also dangerous. The People's 32nd condemns this dirty tactic fully.

We just launched our campaign’s first ad.

It’s not that we need more Democrats in Springfield—we just need better ones.

Let’s build the future we deserve. Make a plan to vote on or before March 17.

If you live in or near the area, your attendance is highly encouraged! 🏘️

Alderman Scott
Waguespack Endorses Brendan Reilly for Cook County Board President
Progressive Leader Cites Reilly's
Commitment to Transparency & Reform
CHICAGO, IL - Alderman Scott Waguespack, a progressive leader known for his record of fighting for government transparency and accountability, is endorsing Brendan Reilly for Cook County Board President in the upcoming Democratic Primary election. Reilly and Waguespack have served together on the Chicago City Council since they were both first elected in 2007, and they have collaborated on numerous pieces of legislation including major transparency initiatives, consumer protections, and most recently leading the fight against Mayor Brandon Johnson's budget proposal that would have devastated the local economy.
Now, Alderman Waguespack is supporting Alderman Reilly's campaign to bring much-needed change to Cook County government.

This eyeroll of an endorsement aside, has anything Waguespack's done in the last decade scream "Progressive Leader"?

Affordability — or the lack of it — will define Chicago's housing market this year, experts say Though home sales remain strong, a dwindling number of listings combined with steady demand means more competition among buyers, which could motivate sellers to raise prices.

We need our local leaders in City Council to take the affordability crisis seriously chicago.suntimes.com/real-estate/...

250 salons later, our movement is growing.

What started as conversations in living rooms has become a people-powered campaign for a new kind of Democratic Party—one built by listening, organizing, and fighting for our neighbors.
