This ruling is a significant victory for public safety in Illinois. Our assault weapons ban was enacted to help protect our communities from the devastating impact of gun violence, and this decision affirms that we can take meaningful action to save lives.

Thank you to the advocates, survivors, law enforcement leaders, and my colleagues who helped make this possible. While our work to end gun violence is far from over, we will continue strengthening the safety of our neighborhoods and communities across Illinois.

I’m honored to have earned the trust and support of the voters of the 12th District. I promise to fight every day for them and for all the people of Cook County who need someone standing up for them in these turbulent times.

As a working mom, raised by a single mom who worked hard to make ends meet, this fight has been deeply personal. I know what it means to face out-of-control cost increases, to fear that the water my children are drinking isn’t safe, and to want government to step up to help working families face such challenges.

Thank you to every volunteer, neighbor, supporter, friend, and family member who believed in this campaign and helped make this moment possible. I look forward to finishing the job and winning over the support of voters in the general election this fall.

Here is a photo of the amazing Election Judges at North Park Village who administered in person Early Voting for the 39th Ward.

We also want to thank the 39th Ward Democratic Party volunteers (Dean, Fred, Judy, Mary Ellen, Ray, Pam, Carl, Vittorio, and George) for helping to deliver coffee/donuts and pizzas for the more than 200 Election Judges serving in the 39th Ward on Election Day!
