Barack Obama Called Me Outstanding — Watch My New Ad

Ad copy

Barack Obama called me an "outstanding member of the House of Representatives.” My new ad just dropped, and it's personal. Little girls who work at their dad's grocery store aren't supposed to be congresswomen. But I got here by fighting like hell for people. I worked with Barack Obama to tackle gun violence in Springfield. I defended Obamacare in Congress. I've fought to lower costs for working families. I filed articles of impeachment to hold Trump's crony administration accountable. I'm proud of that work. We need fewer billionaires in the Senate and more girls who worked the cash register who just fight like hell for people. That's why I'm running. But I need your help to keep this ad on the air and reach more voters across Illinois before the primary in a few weeks. Chip in $10 today.
