Former journalist running for Congress (IL-09) because we deserve Democrats who actually do something | katforillinois.com
- We just passed $3 million raised, powered by 57,000+ grassroots donors with an average gift of $31. This campaign is built by people, not the ultra rich or special interests like AIPAC. You decide who Congress answers to.
- THIS WEEK: Joining me live on stream this Thursday with NC-04 candidate Nida Allam! We’re talking about running for office as unapologetic, progressive young women. Tune in this Thursday at 7 PM CT on Twitch or YouTube! Drop some questions I should ask below :) @nidaallam.bsky.social
- From the Editorial Board: Kat Abughazaleh made a show of declining (sending a spokesman, for goodness sake) to be part of the editorial board’s endorsement interviews after first informing us she would attend. trib.al/LXhfqMv
- UPDATE!!! The Tribune Editorial Board endorsed the AlPAC candidate in my race partially because she left the IL progressive caucus because she supports unconditional military aid to Israel. In their eyes, it’s “a principled position for a principled Democrat.” www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/03/e...
- If you’re looking for a fun, antifascist sci-fi multispecies buddy comedy book series (with a very good audiobook version), I highly recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl. I’m on Book 3 and it’s been a blast from start to finish.
- Came across the most incredible Heater fan art by @lditko.bsky.social and now I have to figure out a way to print this out to add to the growing Heater Tribute Art Shrine on our windowsill
- If you’re ever wondering what a day at the campaign office is like…
- 43 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION!! Got questions? Ready to volunteer? Here’s our campaign schedule this week:
- CHICAGOANS!!!! Voting is open for the annual snowplow naming contest. And “Abolish Ice” is one of the options. You know what to do (vote): chicagoshovels.org
- This weekend, we kicked off our neighborhood walk on Devon Ave at Ghareeb Nawaz Restaurant, where they said yes to putting up our sign! We are building support one conversation at a time.
