Happy Veterans Day to all who have served. Thank you for defending the Constitution, which we will continue to value --regardless of what some would prefer.

Democrats won all across the country on Election Night. It’s clear that Donald Trump and his Republican Party aren’t reflecting American values — voters made that clear — and it’s going to show come Election Day in 2026 too.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.
We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

So nice to see! Antioch Township Democrats and Grant Township Democrats showed how Democrats care about making a difference. Thanks to volunteering their time for an Adopt a Highway cleanup event, dozens of bags of trash were taken away. Great teamwork!

The number of postcards to swing districts written by Lake County Democratic volunteers is incredible. There is so much at stake, and there's an easy way you can make a difference right now -- we need more postcard stamps. If you can donate postcard stamps, we'd be so grateful.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
