Yesterday, the Senate deadlocked on legislation that would have extended ACA subsidies, and only four Republicans had the conscience for the millions of Americans who rely on the ACA for their care. This is why Democrats needed to keep up this fight when we had the leverage to do so.

HUD funding cuts take effect this January, and the impact on Cook County is real. 1,000 homes will face reduced rental assistance, higher out-of-pocket costs, and increased risk of displacement – putting families at risk. We need solutions now to protect housing stability.

No one should have to choose between affording their healthcare and paying for rent. Yet, millions of Americans will have to because of the “Big Beautiful Bill’s” cuts to Medicaid. When elected to Congress, I will continue to fight for affordable healthcare for all.

Our annual holiday celebration is at Dino’s next Wednesday, December 17th! Come invite your friends and family to my family’s restaurant to kick off the holiday season, share some pizza, and toast to the year ahead. I hope to see you next Wednesday! secure.actblue.com/donate/kmhol...

The ICE activity we witnessed over the weekend in Elgin was outrageous. Peaceful protesters, elected officials, and children were assaulted with tear gas and pepper spray while exercising their constitutional right to protest.

Once again, the Supreme Court had inserted itself in a partisan manner, overturning a lower court decision yesterday and allowing Texas to proceed in creating five new Republican seats, and disenfranchising minority voters throughout the state in doing so.

It has been a pleasure meeting with people from all across the 8th district throughout this campaign and earning their support, and I look forward to continuing to do so in the months ahead! Join our team at kevinmorrisonforcongress.com

It is very disappointing to hear this news today, but unfortunately not a surprise. Without an extension of the ACA subsidies, health care costs will rise for millions of Americans. This is why we cannot continue to cave when the momentum is in our favor.

Join us this coming Sunday for a Cookie Exchange Meet and Greet and House Party in Mount Prospect! It’s a great opportunity to meet friends, ask me questions, and enjoy the holiday cheer with fellow supporters. Please reach out if you have any questions. I hope to see you there!

I got my start in politics through environmental activism, and that commitment still guides my work as Commissioner, as it will in Congress. I’m proud to have signed the Climate Hawks Vote pledge, and I’ll continue to refuse every dollar from the fossil fuel industry.

It's Black Friday! And we have a special offer. Chip in a few bucks today and invest in a candidate who will be 100% dedicated to serving you and your family, this holiday season, and always. www.kevinmorrisonforcongress.com/donate

I hope everyone has had a warm and very Happy Thanksgiving today! We are grateful for our friends, family, community, and all of our loved ones. For all of the hardships our nation has faced this year, let us remain grateful for those close to us and have it strengthen our resolve.

I can’t sit by and watch politicians in Washington continue to lie to hardworking families. Things are getting more expensive - that’s a fact. If elected to Congress, I will work to bring down prices for everyday Americans, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

www.dailyherald.com/20251124/new... After our community stepped up and showed up for three straight meetings and put the pressure on, I was happy to learn yesterday that the Mount Prospect Village Board will take up this conversation,

I’ve spent my entire life giving back to the community that raised me – and I will continue to do so in Congress.

“Commissioner Kevin Morrison, who is running for Congress for Illinois' 8th District, expressed concerns over the tactics federal agents have been using during Operation Midway Blitz.” Watch the full segment @ ABC 7 Chicago: abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

This morning, I took steps to introduce a resolution condemning Senator Durbin and the other Democrats who voted to strip away Americans’ access to affordable healthcare next year. Now, I’m on my way to meet with local leaders to demand ICE ends its reign of terror.

Last night, I called on the Mount Prospect Village Board to fight back against ICE. We did it on the Cook County Board. Mount Prospect can do it, too. #Illinois #Immigration youtu.be/OG0BhNRrvUU?...

As County Commissioner, I’ve banned ICE agents from county property and from wearing masks. Our community deserves to live without fear. I’ll bring that same commitment to Congress – demanding real oversight over ICE and standing up for our communities.

Thank you to Citizen Action Illinois for hosting our IL-08 Candidate Forum Thursday night at Elgin Community College. It was an honor to take part and address the pressing issues facing our communities. Here is the full video where you can watch the forum! www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2rJ...

At a time when we are seeing SNAP benefits cut for our most needy, and right before Thanksgiving, this is a great opportunity to support our local communities and help those in need. Please consider joining Indivisible Elk Grove Township this Saturday. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblee...

Congratulations to Congresswoman Grijalva on her long-overdue swearing-in today. It will be nice to see the House get back to work and with her vote finally seeing the release of the Epstein files go to the floor for a vote.

I am extremely disappointed that some of our Senate Democrats caved and voted with Republicans, giving up the fight for our healthcare. After such a strong performance in last week’s elections, Democrats finally had hope! It made no sense to fold now!

In our community, we’ve seen families torn apart, loved ones disappeared by masked men, and protestors thrown to the ground. I won’t stop fighting for compassion, dignity, and justice. In Congress, I’ll fight to end ICE’s reign of terror. No one should live in fear.

I'm calling on Senate Democrats to remain strong! This "not a deal" that is being considered for a vote tonight will culminate in detrimental harm. There is no deal without the ACA subsidies included. Illinois Senate Democrats better vote NO!

This administration still refuses to compromise. Now in addition to cutting SNAP benefits and causing health care premiums to rise, they are now threatening air travel on the cusp of Thanksgiving.

Last night, I was awarded the ‘Rebel with a Cause’ award for my work with Northwest Compass, Inc, a wraparound social services organization for low income individuals and families. It was an honor to be formally recognized, and thank you to Brian Freiman and Sonia Ivanov for hosting me.

Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby themed party at Mar-A-Lago last weekend, and the East Wing of the White House has been reduced to rubble - just to make room for his ballroom and newly renovated bathroom. This is all while federal employees aren’t being paid,

Thank you to the Cook County Democratic Party for hosting us at their annual reception last week. It was a pleasure meeting with folks, and the energy in the room was fantastic! People are ready to take on this administration, and that’s exactly what I’ll do in Congress.

Our communities standing tall in the face of bigotry and hate is what makes America great. Our country is worth fighting for.

Republicans are refusing to budge – keeping the government closed so they can fund tax cuts for the wealthy and increase health care costs for us. New premiums became available on the exchanges this week. I invite you to share in the comments below how that will affect you.

Last week, we celebrated Diwali! It is a time to celebrate light, renewal, and the triumph of good. I was fortunate to attend a celebration in my neighborhood with friends and family. Here’s to wishing joy and peace to all! Happy Diwali!

I'd like to give a huge THANK YOU to all of our volunteers who circulated petition signatures for our campaign these past three months, as well as to the thousands of voters throughout the 8th congressional district who signed our petitions!

I’m running for Congress because we need real leadership – not an administration that is breaking the law at every turn. I hope you’ll join me in the fight.

HUGE news! @walshfreedom.bsky.social endorsed our campaign. He DEFEATED our Wall Street-backed opponent Melissa Bean in 2010, and knows she is not the fighter we need to meet this moment. Can you join Joe Walsh as we take the fight all the way to Washington and Donald Trump?

I toured the Altorfer CAT East Dundee Dealer – and I got to take a look inside at some heavy machinery. Thanks for having me!

In Illinois, we made it clear: we will not bend to authoritarianism. Over 7 million people joined the No Kings protests over the weekend, making it one of the largest demonstrations in United States history. Together, we are making a difference and we must keep up the fight!

It is terrifying, and a disgrace to see ICE agents arresting people in Illinois while hiding their identities. As County Commissioner, I sponsored legislation calling on ICE agents to remove their masks in Cook County – and I’ll keep fighting to protect our communities in Congress.

Huge thank you to the thousands of people who turned up in the 8th congressional district today to the No Kings rallies! I was happy to join thousands of people in Schaumburg, Elgin, and Arlington Heights. Thank you for all of the incredible conversations today!

The Schaumburg Area Democrats held a Meet the Candidates Breakfast last weekend. It was an honor to speak and meet with so many people who are civically engaged, especially in this moment when we need it the most.

The government is still shut down, because Republicans are dead-set on raising health insurance costs for hard working families. Over 30,000 people in our district could see their costs go up, just to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Our volunteers are the BEST! Thank you for coming out to help collect signatures – and a special shoutout to my mom for all her help, too!

Two years after the horrific terror attacks of October 7th, today is the day we have all been waiting for. I celebrate the release of the remaining 20 living hostages from Gaza, and hope they will find comfort and joy in being reunited with their families in Israel.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

One of the best parts of this job? Getting out in our communities and hearing directly from Illinoisans.

Republicans have shut down the government – and if they get their way, 30,000 people in our district will see their health insurance costs go up. We can’t afford another Republican price-hike for seniors and families just to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

Republicans are coming for the Affordable Care Act, and I am proud to stand in solidarity with federal workers during MAGA's government shutdown. I'll never back down from protecting health care for our hard working families.

This Saturday is our final push for signature gathering to get on the ballot! If you’ve been looking for a chance to get involved, join us to talk to voters and get the signatures we need to be on the ballot. RSVP to our campaign manager Brandon: [email protected].

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Mental Illness can affect anyone, and together we can end the stigma. In Cook County, we’ve expanded access to mental health services and invested in community-based care, because no one should have to struggle alone.

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.
