We must denounce hate and evil in all forms against the Jewish people. Joining the Jewish Caucus, please see our official joint statement: we rebuke the horrific attacks witnessed yesterday at Bondi Beach, Australia, as the community celebrated the first night of Hanukkah
Political violence is NEVER the answer.
Whether you disagree with a political figure on the right or on the left, we should all be able to immediately and unequivocally condemn gun violence in moments like these.
Praying for a full recovery of Charlie Kirk.
I am being briefed by law enforcement following the violence directed at Charlie Kirk during his visit to Utah Valley University today. We will continue to share updates.
Those responsible will be held fully accountable. Violence has no place in our public life.
Americans of every political persuasion must unite in condemning this act. Our prayers are with Charlie, his family, and all those affected.
Iโm truly honored to have the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune for my re-election. Their support reflects our shared dedication to the issues that matter most.

10/7. One year.
One year ago we awoke to horrific news of Hamasโ terror attack on Israel. Over 1,200 murdered in just hours, hundreds kidnapped including American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, recently killed in captivity.
Today, we remember.

Today, we recognize the workers who keep America running and who, for generations, have fought to secure the right for working Americans to organize for fair wages, safe working conditions, quality benefits, and a voice in their workplace.
My Capitol office was vandalized yesterday in a vile act of hate in which the posters of the more than 100 people still held hostage in Gaza (including 8 Americans) were ripped from the wall, shredded and tossed across the hallway.
Congratulations to our newest State Representative from the 57th District of Illinois, Rep. Tracy Katz-Muhl. Already a dynamic, proven leader from the community, she is ready to hit the ground running next week when we return to Springfield for the 2024 Legislative Session.๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
This is devastating news and must be universally condemned by all. Our Jewish and Palestinian communities in IL are already broken after this week.
Illinois will never, ever accept this evil, and must all do our part to keep our neighbors safe.
The Illinois Legislative Jewish Caucus is shocked and saddened to learn of the massive terrorist attack against Israel that is still playing out at this moment.ย
We stand with Israel as she stood with the U.S. during our most horrific moments.ย ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐บ๐ธ
