“I want you to be my mayor.” This conversation in Garfield Park turned into a real talk about financial literacy, education, opportunity, and what people actually want for their families and their future. Chicago deserves more conversations like this.

Affordability isn’t political. It’s personal.

Chicago has lost nearly 1 million people. It’s time to grow again.

Everywhere I go across Chicago, the same themes come up: family, safety, opportunity, education, and a better future for the next generation. Chicago does not need more division. We need leadership that brings people together around what we all want for this city.

This is a crisis we can't ignore. 30% of Chicago students are chronically absent. That’s 90,000 kids not getting the education they deserve. If we want better outcomes, we have to get students back in school. Achievement starts with attendance. Period.

Affordability has to be the priority. That means building more housing, fixing the budget, holding the line on taxes, and growing the economy so people can actually get ahead in Chicago.

I’ll go first! Piece Pizzeria and Brewery in Wicker Park is one of my favorites because Hot Doug’s Atomic pizza with award-winning beers can’t be beat! Tag or share yours below so we can support the places that make your Chicago neighborhood special 👇

This is happening to too many people across Chicago.

Chicago’s credit rating just went down again and it matters. The answer isn’t more spending or higher taxes. That only makes it harder to live here, drives people out, and buries the city deeper in debt. We need to fix the budget responsibly, not ask Chicagoans to pay for mistakes that set us back

Housing is the biggest expense in most people’s lives. If we want Chicago to be more affordable, we have to make housing a real priority, not something that keeps getting pushed from the top of the list.

Healthy cities have people continuously coming and going from near and far. Cities without immigration decay and suffer economically. Immigration policies should reflect these demographic realities. For more, see my new book "Immigration and Urban Vitality: How Newcomers Make Cities Strong."

It’s OBVIOUS—AIPAC candidates will NEVER be in step with the Democratic base. @rephaleystevens.bsky.social is a prime EXAMPLE: she dismissed U.N. findings that Israel committed genocide & won’t commit to holding Trump accountable. That positioning should end a candidacy in EVERY Democratic primary.🤦🏿‍♂️

🌴Good Evening Passed Aways🌴 It's the start of my work weekend and it has been a rollercoaster today! BUT! It hasn't been bad. Honestly? It was more manageable than I am accustomed to. But I am going to try and find purchase in some personal luxuries. Maybe play a game or get in a VC with friends 💀🧡

It's not enough to remember the darker chapters of our past, we have to realize the darker chapters of our present. This moment in history is bigger than politics, this is about who we are and what we intend to leave to our children.
