Amiwala Touts Local Connections, Progressive Policy Platform In Crowded 9th District Race

Amiwala Touts Local Connections, Progressive Policy Platform In Crowded 9th District Race

"Unlike others" is a lie. There are many candidates who are anti-AIPAC & anti corporate PACs. AIPAC hates Daniel Biss and vice versa. Mike Simmons is another example of an anti-AIPAC candidate. Bushra Amiwala has sent out dozens of anti-AIPAC emails for months. Here she is rejecting a corporate PAC:

Transcript of Remarks by Bushra Amiwala (IL-09) at Press Conference Calling Out AIPAC & Corporate PAC Influence on Our Elections January 15, 2026 — Federal Plaza, Chicago Watch the full video here for comments from fellow congressional candidates Kina Collins (IL-07) and Joey Ruzevich (IL-06):

If you live in Skokie, Niles, or Evanston, your property tax assessment likely just went up. Why? Because the system is shifting the burden from vacant commercial buildings downtown directly onto your home. This Thursday, Jan 15th, the Board of Review is hosting a FREE appeal seminar.

Born and raised here. Elected here. Fighting for us. Authentic leadership. This profile breaks down why my local roots and people-first platform matter in a crowded IL-09 race, from Books Not Bombs to economic justice, fair taxes for small businesses, and real immigration reform.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about priorities This Thursday, I’m standing with @kinacollins (IL-07) and @joeyruzevich (IL-06) to draw a line in the sand. We are building a movement funded by people, not lobbyists. Our representatives should answer to voters, not donors.

New data shows commercial property values in our district were just hiked by 40%. When assessments skyrocket, landlords pass that cost directly to your favorite coffee shop or small business. The result? Another 'For Lease' sign where your favorite coffee shop used to be.

“This endorsement isn’t just a recognition, but a rallying cry for a nation in peril. We’re proud to stand with Bushra Amiwala in the fight to reclaim our democracy from AIPAC’s grip…We applaud her leadership..” - Casey Kennedy & Cory Archibald Co-Executive Directors

📍Spent the evening in Edgewater, connecting with folks at Eli’s Tea Bar. Biggest topic that came up that evening: Environmental justice!

From Chicago. For Chicago. Bear down

So much enthusiasm in McHenry County today- thank you Indivisible Crystal Lake & The Illinois Migrant Council for hosting an ICE Out For Good Rally

📍Spent the afternoon in Evanston, meeting voters where they’re at, learning about what concerns them Today’s biggest topic of concern: affordable health care

Why can’t republicans admit when someone on their side commits a terrible act

Congresswoman Robin Kelly is stepping up on Capitol Hill, moving to file Articles of Impeachment against Kristi Noem to hold federal officials accountable. Unchecked power has consequences. Members of Congress must support impeachment — today.

They said “Self Defense.” The Mayor said they lied. 🤥 The official story in Minneapolis isn’t adding up. DHS claims one thing. Witnesses claim another. A woman lost her life today. We need the truth. Release the body cam footage. 📹

One AI Data Center uses as much power as 100,000 homes. ⚡️🏘️ ComEd explicitly listed "Data Centers" as the reason your bill is skyrocketing. While they build massive server farms to train AI, you are paying for the grid upgrades. They get the profit. You get the 47% rate hike.

In 2024, corporate giants spent $16 Billion to hand-pick their politicians. Amazon alone spent $17 Million. They offered me $56,500 to play the game. I rejected every penny. People > PACs. Join the movement in bio. 🇺🇸

Five years ago today, U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died after responding to the violent January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, defending our freedoms as Congress carried out its constitutional duty. abcnews.go.com/US/ahead-5-y...

Small businesses aren’t “failing.” They are being pushed out. While we pay full price, Amazon and Mega Corps get millions in tax breaks to set up shop right down the street. Why are we subsidizing Mega Corps to destroy local Skokie/Evanston/Chicago businesses?

📍Meet & Greet #220 in Park Ridge with folks who’ve lived in IL-9 since elementary school and are back as young adults. We talked a lot about what a member of Congress does, and the burden of student loans. Biggest topic of the evening: ways affordability can be addressed at the Federal level

We’ve all seen the headlines, but Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell: The U.S. plans to "RUN the country" during the transition. We have over 40,000 Venezuelan neighbors in Chicago counting on us to speak up. Democracy, not colonization.

OOTD: 3 layers of heat tech, 2 pairs of socks, and 1 very loud message for Congress. The Chicago wind chill is no joke, but neither is this campaign. We are out here freezing because our community matters. ❄️ Sign up to canvass @ bushraforcongress.com

This is the second time Trump has launched unconstitutional airstrikes without Congressional approval. First Iran, and now Venezuela. Our taxpayer dollars are being used to invade countries for their resources, while our communities lack healthcare, affordable groceries and quality public schools.

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of two leading national Pakistani-American organizations, PAKPAC and APPAC, as we head into the March 2026 Democratic primary in Illinois’ Ninth District.

I’m honored to have the support of Maggie Wunderly, a Bernie Sanders appointee to the DNC Rules Committee, and Laura Sabransky, an elected Bernie Sanders delegate. These are leaders who know what real, people-first progressive values look like and who have been in the trenches fighting for them.

Watch two millionaires try to scare you out of healthcare. They scream “Socialism” because they are terrified of a system that puts Patients over Profits. My platform is clear: ✅Medicare for All ✅No Surprise Bills ✅Health Justice Read the full plan @ bushraforcongress.com

Only Congress can declare war. Only Congress can levy tariffs. Only Congress can say how taxpayer dollars are spent. That’s how co-equal branches of government work. Congress chose to cede its power. I'm going to Washington to take it back.

📍Meet & Greet #215 in Chicago with hardworking small business owners continues to remind me of the unspoken struggles of owning a small business. So proud of these community leaders. Biggest topic of the evening: Cost to attend college! 📚

They hoped you wouldn’t notice this. The “Press 3” option on the 988 hotline wasn’t just a feature - it was a lifeline for LGBTQ+ youth.…And in July, the Trump Admin quietly deleted it

We are failing our children. ICE is poaching taxpayer dollars from public schools. That money is supposed to fund essential mental health and food programs that students depend on. Taking food from children is wrong. Doing it to fund an American gestapo is despicable

We just pulled off the biggest canvass IL-9 has seen this winter! With over 30 people eager to knock doors, we’re proud to bring people power, energy and excitement back in the political process 💪🏽 Join us: bushraforcongress.com / or DM to volunteer
