A few words to cap off the campaign. Although we didn’t get the result we wanted I’m damn proud of the work we did and thankful for everyone that helped us get this far. It was an honor to run to represent the 13th District and meet so many amazing people. www.instagram.com/reel/DWFukhr...

A little rain, won’t slow us down! Now let’s bring this home! Vote O’Brien by St. Patrick’s Day, March 17! ☘️ #VoteJamesOBrien #IllinoisPolitics

Thanks for the congratulations @sierraclubchicago.bsky.social #40thWardDems @indivisiblels.bsky.social #47thWardDems! This video made my day. Although I do have to correct an error in your video…. the total jumped to $189k in negative DraftKings ads! #IllinoisPolitics #VoteJamesOBrien

Another day, another $50,609.66 in negative DraftKings attacks against me. Total now at $189k. And you know what? I don’t care because you can’t buy character and we’re still going to beat their former lobbyist Adam Braun. The 13th District isn’t for sale. #VoteJamesOBrien #IllinoisPolitics

$138,640.14 That’s the amount DraftKings reported spending on negative attack ads against me in the last week because they’re worried I’m going to beat their former lobbyist, Adam Braun. #VoteJamesOBrien #IllinoisPolitics

@jamesforillinois.bsky.social showed up on my doorstep yesterday in -15F wind chill & said he wants to protect Chicago from ICE. Unfortunately I didn't have time to talk, but any candidate that campaigns on ICE has my attention. National Dems: This goes for you too. Abolish ICE.

Huge thanks to @bscactionfund.org and volunteers who braved the arctic cold! Lots of heavy emotions the last few days but I’m channeling my anger into doing everything I can to help. I refuse to accept this as our reality and will bring this same work ethic to make Chicago welcoming for all.
