I’m supporting Reed Showalter for Congress. Reed has deep roots in our community. He is an Oak Park native with a deep love for, and understanding of, our community and communities across the 7th District.
He is a champion for progressive values. He has never wavered on his commitment to fighting against corporate power buying our economy and our democracy. He is clear on his values and he is someone I trust will never sell those values out for any cost. If you’ve met Reed, you know that he is someone who truly cares about people and about the policies that will affect them.
We all see what is happening in Washington right now. We have a lawless president who will do anything to hold onto power and hurt the people he doesn’t like. And we have a Congress that is not meeting the moment. That’s why I believe Reed is the person we need representing us in Congress right now.
He has worked in the federal government for years, in Congress, at the FTC, DOJ, and White House National Economic Council. He knows how these institutions work, and he will use every possible lever to oppose the horrors of the Trump administration, hold this regime accountable, and start building coalitions for real progressive change when Democrats take back the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
We are in a unique and scary moment in history. And when I think about who I want between my community and Donald Trump, Reed is that person. I can confidently say that Reed Showalter is the best choice for Illinois’ 7th District. I’m proud to support him, and I hope you will join me in supporting him as well.
