Melissa Bean represents the politics of yesterday. In Congress, she weakened reforms following the financial crisis. Democrats deserve better than the darling of Wall Street. I’ll provide a bold new voice in Congress, fresh energy, and a commitment to working people.

Congratulations on the opening of Masala Dabba, the new Indian grocery store in South Elgin! Small businesses like this are the heart of our communities, and I’m excited to see it become a gathering place for families across the district.

Today is the final day of the fundraising quarter. If you’ve been waiting to chip in, this is make-or-break. Can you please join our campaign with a donation before midnight tonight? kevin-il.org/930

Our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is tomorrow. Can you make a donation to fuel our grassroots campaign before we run out of time? kevin-il.org/929

On the County Board last week, I supported a resolution urging Congress to restore collective bargaining rights for federal employees. In Congress, I’ll keep up that fight. Our federal workers deserve the right to unionize, and I’ll always stand with them.

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean parades are. We had such a fun time walking in the Oktoberfest Parade in Elk Grove Village. It was great seeing so many familiar faces.

We have less than a week until our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline. With an opponent funded by Wall Street, we need the full strength of this grassroots team to help us fight back and match her dollar-for-dollar. Can you chip in to help us finish the quarter strong?

I am honored to be featured alongside so many inspiring LGBTQ+ candidates running for office. As an LGBTQ man, this fight is personal to me. People are ready for new voices who can defend our rights. I’ll always stand up to protect all of us. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Tomorrow, I’ll be on Driving It Home with Patti Vasquez on Heartland Signal/WCPT820 at 5:15pm CT. You can tune in on the radio or at heartlandsignal.com to hear me talk about the important issues that Illinois families care about.

This race is about Main Street versus Wall Street. We don’t need Wall Street’s dream candidate, we need somebody who will fight for working families in Illinois. In Congress, I’ll do just that, because I work for you.

Our new opponent is a lobbyist’s dream. When she lost the election to a Republican, she went straight to work for Big Banks on Wall Street. When the ACA was under attack? Crickets! Melissa Bean can’t be trusted to put Illinois families first.

We have a new opponent – and she’s a relic of the past. During the financial crisis, she sided with Big Banks. I’ve always stood with Illinois families. Now, I need your help to fight for our families in Congress. Can you chip in to our campaign today? kevin-il.org/917/

If you’ve ever been screwed over by a landlord, you understand how unfair it can be. I was the lead sponsor on a bill that passed the Cook County Board, expanding the rights of renters against illegal lockouts and insane move-in fees.

I am honored to receive the endorsement of Equality PAC. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know how much representation matters – especially with LGBTQ+ rights under attack today. I am proud to stand with Equality PAC to keep pushing for equality and justice for all. 🏳️‍🌈

We have just a few weeks left to gather the signatures we need to get on the ballot. If you haven’t already signed, consider dropping by one of our sites in Kane County tomorrow! You’ll be able to sign for candidates up and down the ballot. And If you can volunteer at the Drive-Thru, even better!

Like many, I am reeling from reports of more gun violence at a high school in Colorado. My heart breaks for their community. We must do better for our kids and we cannot accept this as a reality. Congress must act.

Regardless of who we are or what we believe, political violence has no place in America. We can disagree without resorting to violence. Charlie Kirk and I both come from the Northwest Suburbs, and I am praying for him and his family.

I believe that if you earn a full week’s wage, you ought to be able to afford to live. In Congress, I’ll stand up to special interests and fight for us.

Thank you to the Latino Victory Fund for hosting us last week! I’ve spent my career fighting alongside Latino communities, and I’ll never stop working to make sure all families have a fair shot.

I’ve been proud to call Congressman @ericsorensen.bsky.social a friend and mentor since Day 1 of this campaign. I am grateful to have his support, and I look forward to working with him in Congress.

Thank you for supporting my campaign for Congress, @ritchietorres.bsky.social. You are a true champion for working families, and I look forward to fighting alongside you in Congress.

I am honored to have the support of Congressman Mark Takano and so many Members of Congress across the country. I will be a tireless advocate for our shared values in Congress. Thank you, @marktakano.bsky.social!

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Congresswoman @beccabalintvt.bsky.social. “When the right to choose was on the line, Kevin didn’t hesitate—he fought back.” Thank you for the kind words, Congresswoman. I look forward to fighting alongside you.

Here’s what Congressman Mike Quigley said about endorsing our campaign. “As a lifelong resident of the Northwest suburbs, Kevin knows firsthand the challenges hard-working families in his community face every day.” Thank you for the endorsement, Congressman!

I’m honored to have earned the endorsement of Congressman Mike Quigley, Congresswoman @beccabalintvt.bsky.social, Congressman @marktakano.bsky.social, and Congressman @ritchietorres.bsky.social. They know I’ll fight alongside them for families in Congress. Thank you for your support.

With all of the chaos happening in Washington, families deserve someone who cares about helping them get food on their table. As a member of Congress, I’ll cut through the noise to get support for working families.

It was incredible walking in the Septemberfest Labor Day Parade along with the Schaumburg Area Democrats, and so many friends, family, and supporters. I am humbled by the amount of support for our campaign.

Our campaign is facing our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline this weekend. I know it’s a busy holiday weekend, but it would mean a lot to me if you took a moment to chip in to our campaign before our deadline. I am grateful for your support, and I appreciate you. secure.actblue.com/donate/kbm-s...

What a way to wind down the summer! I had a blast at the Addison-Medinah Shriner’s Parade. There’s nothing better than marching with our campaign team and hearing from voters along the route.

Big thanks to the Brown Bag Progressives for having me! I always leave these conversations feeling inspired by the passion folks bring to building a better Northern Illinois.

My statement on the President's recent threats on Chicago:

Big news: the Chicago Tribune just named our campaign one of the top in IL-08! 🚀 This recognition shows the strength of our team. I know that together, we have what it takes to win and deliver real change for our communities.

Our benefits are on the line. In Congress, I will fight to defend them.

It's been another fun weekend gathering signatures at the doors. Thank you to everyone who is helping out to ensure we make it to the ballot!

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments that could overturn marriage equality. This hard-fought right is on the line. In Congress, I’ll fight to protect our freedoms, including the freedom to marry who you love.

I capped off last weekend by attending the Pakistan and Indian Day Celebration. Thank you to all for having me!

Photos from the DuPage County Dems and the Kane County Dems picnics this past weekend. I feel so energized traveling across the district and introducing myself to new voters!

A lot of people have asked why we’re gathering signatures to get on the ballot. Our democracy only works when people step up to be a part of it, and that’s why we’re organizing the community and gathering signatures.

The fight for our democracy is always worth it. The least I could do in return was offer them old-fashioned Illinois hospitality. I’m proud of Illinois for standing up to the undemocratic power grab in Texas.

Texas legislators took refuge in Illinois to block an undemocratic power grab. Over the weekend, they stopped by Dino’s for pizza and a conversation about democracy. As these heroes return to face Gov. Abbott, we stand with them. Illinois has their back.

My team and I had a blast gathering more petition signatures yesterday, and it was a pleasure to speak at the Fight For Our Communities Rally. Thank you to the Schaumburg Area Democrats for hosting us, and to Indivisible Elk Grove Township for putting together another fantastic rally.

It was an honor to welcome members of the Texas House delegation for a meal at my family’s restaurant, Dino’s Pizza. These heroes left their state, their families, and their routines behind to protect our republic from a power hungry President, afraid that his disastrous 1/2

One of my favorite parts of this summer has been the parades. They have such great energy, and I’ve had the chance to meet so many wonderful people along the routes. Here are a few snapshots from the Streamwood Summer Celebration to brighten your day!

Over 100 leaders have stepped up to endorse our campaign for Congress. This campaign is about more than me, it’s about making a real impact on people in Illinois. I’m honored to have the backing of leaders I deeply respect. #IL08

Thank you to everybody who came to our fundraiser this week! I’m so fired up seeing how many folks are committed to our campaign. Here are a few snapshots from our night.

Our volunteers came out in force to gather signatures last weekend. But there’s still work to do and signatures to gather! We’ll be gathering signatures this weekend – text our campaign manager Brandon (773-793-7675) if you can join!

We’re having a fundraiser in Hoffman Estates tomorrow, and you’re invited! This is a great way to get involved with the campaign and show your support. If you can make it, we still have a few spots available. RSVP here: kevin-il.org/0811

Our Petition Signature Canvass Kickoff today was a huge success! I am grateful to all of the people supporting our campaign and volunteering their time to take part in the democratic process. And I found some friends while at the doors! It was a hot one today, but well worth it!

The Taste of Roselle last weekend was amazing! Incredible food, great people, and a wonderful time supporting the community. Thank you once again to the Bloomingdale Township Democrats for inviting me to join their booth. I’m so glad I was able to attend!
