| Collapse all
- Fight for Unions
- We need a representative that will represent everyone in district regardless of political party, class, race, gender, & sexual orientation.
- Fight for better wages and jobs
I also believe that everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and equality - no matter whom they love, or how they identify. There is no place for homophobia, transphobia, or even dragphobia within Illinois. When the rights of any group or individual are under attack, it endangers our own freedom, and the freedom of people everywhere. All of us have a responsibility to speak out and stand up against hate and violence in any form.
