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! 🏈🐻

You may have seen some misinformation circulating yesterday. Please see our statement of the facts.

This weekend a River Forest family generously opened their home so neighbors could meet us & hear our story.  This campaign values each & every voice across the district. I will represent our community with compassion, empathy, & a passion for a better future for Chicagoans everywhere.

(1/4) This morning, Trump decided to withhold funding for critical infrastructure improvements to the CTA, another step in his journey to take revenge on Democrats and blue cities.

Government shutdowns help no one. Democrats tried to work collaboratively to deliver a responsible budget that lowers costs for working families and reverses Trump's devastating cuts to Medicaid, but Republicans walked away from the table.

Undoing generations of disinvestment in communities like Austin isn't possible overnight, but moving towards equity in healthy food access is a critical step in bringing growth and investment to Illinois' 7th District.

Congrats Alderman Burnett!

Our children need clean water now, not in 2076.

Shana Tova! Wishing a happy and healthy New Year to all our Jewish friends and family.

Our children are our future, and it’s more important now than ever that we take care of them in every way we can. That begins with bringing clean water back to Chicago and Illinois’ 7th Congressional District.

Peacefully protesting, especially in support of our neighbors & communities, should not & cannot be met with violent force. This extreme escalation flies in the face of our American values rooted in the First Amendment, values we have fought so hard for, & we cannot accept this as the new normal.

Investing in our communities is literally a matter of life and death. In the 7th District, there is a 23-year difference in average life expectancy between the Loop, a predominantly white neighborhood, and Englewood, a predominantly Black neighborhood. That data is staggering.

Former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar was a true public servant. He set the example of good governance in action - putting aside partisan differences and rejecting extremism in the best interest of Illinoisans.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001 and the loved ones they left behind due to an inexcusable act of hate and terror. Our hearts were broken, but our spirits were not as our country united in grief, patriotism, and love for our neighbors.

Political violence is inexcusable in all forms, no matter what. This is not what democracy is about.

Congrats to Red Burnett for his appointment to 27th Ward Alderman! Red comes from a long line of civil servants who’ve represented their communities with compassion, empathy, & vision for the future. I look forward to watching another generation of thoughtful, effective leadership for our city!

It's extraordinary how Trump is refusing to coordinate with Illinois leaders. If he cared about fighting crime, he would double down on efforts like our FBI partnership — not putting our own troops on American city streets.
