“I shall, when the time comes, try to do right, in view of all the lights then before me.” Happy birthday to former Congressman for Illinois’ 7th District, Abe Lincoln, whose legacy remains a beacon of hope for Illinoisans and Americans everywhere.

Had a great time meeting with engaged community members at Indivisible Greater West Loop's 7th District Candidate Meet-Up on Saturday!

President Trump’s post last night was one of the most disgusting, outrageous, and blatantly racist displays I’ve ever seen. This depravity shows there is no low with him and his own party has a moral obligation to call this out.

Had a fantastic time last night connecting with voters & neighbors at our Fulton Market meet & greet! I'm grateful for the opportunity to hear directly from our community about what matters most to them & being able to share my plan for a safer, stronger, & more affordable future for IL07.

Thank you for your partnership, Ravi!

Today's deadly shooting in Minneapolis is appalling. President Trump is empowering ICE to shoot first and ask questions later. That is not policing or border enforcement, it is intimidation that evades accountability and dodges the rule of law.

Here’s what I’ll do in Congress to create more good-paying jobs:

Take care of yourself and your neighbors in this extreme cold! Check out these resources and tips to stay warm.

My nephews remind me every day what we’re fighting for: a better future where every kid has opportunity, safety, and hope.

Thanks for your support, Councilor Lee!

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, whose legacy of courage & conviction offers hope in a moment of darkness. His dream reminds us that real progress towards equality & justice is an action we must pursue together.

Health care is a right, not a privilege, and the health of our most vulnerable communities certainly shouldn’t be a bargaining chip. I will fight to protect vital government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, lower prescription drug costs, and expand access to affordable, quality health care.

Thank you, Alderman Hopkins!

Big news! Thanks to the depth and breadth of support we’ve received, we were able to release our first ad! youtu.be/ImhcAoLmzhU

We shouldn’t be afraid to send our kids to the playground or take the train home after work. As Congressman for Illinois’ 7th District, I will fight for safer neighborhoods and lead on public safety with pragmatism and empathy.

Last evening my team and I were graciously hosted for a press conference at MingHin Restaurant in Chinatown. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the Chinese community for welcoming us throughout this campaign and for supporting our movement. www.chineseofchicago.com/Content.aspx...

I recently had the privilege of participating in a candidate forum at the Proviso Dems’ Toy Drive & sharing my vision for IL07. Thank you, Speaker Welch, & the rest of the Proviso Dems’ Executive Board for hosting, & thank you to everyone in the audience for your engagement & support.

Happy Hanukkah, from our family to yours.

Had a great conversation with community leaders on the West & South Sides. No matter your zip code, everyone deserves ✅ quality education ✅ freedom from gun violence ✅ safe housing, access to healthy food, & clean water Our communities deserve a voice that will fight for their rights, always.

Trump's presidency has been nothing short of devastating for Illinois’ 7th District. capitolnewsillinois.com/news/trump-c...

Team Friedman had a busy week full of listening to neighbors, giving back to our community, and knocking doors in the snow. (Not pictured: celebrating the Bears' 9-3 record!🐻🏈🎉)

Team Friedman spent the weekend knocking doors in River Forest and Oak Park, meeting voters and sharing our vision for IL07 while listening to their unique stories and perspectives. Thank you to all of our volunteers and all the friends we've made out in the field!

Every single voice in this district matters. We've been hearing from neighbors across our community that they need a leader who will finally step up for them and deliver on their promises.

Bear down!

As Congressman, I vow not only to protect our working families and entrepreneurs from being priced out of their homes and businesses by unfair property taxes, but to make property ownership and financial mobility more accessible for everyone in Illinois’ 7th Congressional District.

Had a great weekend with the young and engaged volunteers who joined us for the Teens for Change canvassing event!  If you want to find more opportunities to volunteer with Team Friedman, head to friedmanforcongress.com/volunteer! We couldn't do this without you.

Thank you to our service members for your bravery and commitment to our freedom. Happy Veterans Day. Today, my family and I honor our Uncle Kevin Burke, who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty while defending his country and fellow soldiers.

Thank you Citizen Action/Illinois for hosting us last evening at Malcolm X College for the 7th District Candidate Forum!

As this campaign gains momentum, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the support my team & I have received for our message: the 7th District deserves a leader who will deliver affordability, security, & opportunity for every single one of us.

With grrreat power comes grrreat responsibility! Frankie and Teddy hope everyone has a pawsitively howling good time this Halloween! 🦇🎃

We’re just one day away from our Know Your Rights Workshop with @latinospro.bsky.social and Ald. Walter Redmond Burnett! Join us at Whitney Young at 6:30pm on Oct. 27 to learn more about your rights and resources when interacting with ICE in our neighborhoods.

I’ve spent every day of this campaign crisscrossing the 7th district and meeting voters where they’re at, and what I’ve learned from our community is that for everything that sets us apart, there is more that ties us together.

My family and I send our deepest condolences to Darren, Cindy, and their family as they face the unimaginable loss of Zach, Kelsey, and Vada Rose, and Samuel. Our hearts are with the Baileys.

SNAP benefits, which feed nearly 2M Illinoisans and have already been significantly cut in recent months, will run out by the end of the month if this shutdown continues. Republicans would rather let families go hungry during Thanksgiving than meet Democrats at the negotiating table.

The campaign joined the No Kings rallies in Oak Park & Downtown to fight back against Trump & his admin’s abuse of power. Joining 250k+ neighbors & fellow Chicagoans in protest sent a clear message: democracy is worth defending & everyone in our community deserves respect, dignity, & compassion.

What a win! Thank you to everyone who came out to our Bears watch party last night, it was a blast! This campaign knows how to work hard but also knows how important it is to have fun and celebrate big wins. Let’s keep pushing towards victory, together.

Today, our hearts are with the families in Israel who are finally embracing their loved ones after a tragic two years of separation. The release of the remaining living hostages is a profound relief and a long overdue step toward peace.

👋🏻🏈🎉

Join Jason and Team Friedman at Mother Hubbard’s this upcoming Monday, October 13th at 7pm to watch the Chicago Bears take on the Washington Commanders! Food and first drink on us! 🏈🐻
