I voted NO on House Republicans’ big ugly bill.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 22(source)

Trump bullied democratic leaders in Ukraine & South Africa, but praised dictators in Saudi Arabia & El Salvador. That’s not leadership—it’s moral failure. #DemocracyMatters

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 22(source)

The Republican budget is a morally bankrupt document that seeks to balance the books on the backs of our most vulnerable citizens – our children, our seniors, and our working families.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 22(source)

The GOP Tax Scam isn't fiscal responsibility—it's snatching food from kids & denying healthcare to seniors in #IL01 & #Chicago to fund tax breaks for the rich. Cuts to SNAP, Medicaid & Medicare would be devastating. I’m fighting to protect YOUR benefits. #ProtectOurCommunity

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 21(source)

Rep. Johnathan Jackson brought receipts proving Rubio has abandoned his principles to capitulate to Trump:

Deeply saddened by the passing of my colleague, Rep. Gerry Connolly @connolly.house.gov . A tireless advocate for federal workers, public transit, and good governance, his leadership and dedication inspired us all. Rest in power, Gerry. Your legacy lives on.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 21(source)

House Republicans scheduled a hearing at 1AM, thinking that we wouldn’t show up, so they could sneak through their crooked agenda. I will stay up to ANY hour to protect American families.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 20(source)

We ride with Congresswoman LaMonica McIver.

Brown v. Board happened less than a lifetime ago, and it’s up to all of us to stand up, speak out, and work toward a quality education for every child.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 17(source)

Across the country, protections meant to prevent discrimination are being dismantled. QUALIFIED individuals are being fired, books are being burned, curriculums erased, and lessons about our history removed from schools, workplaces, and trainings.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 17(source)

71 years after Brown v. Board of Education, the fight for educational justice is far from over.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 16(source)

I was pleased to meet with United Airlines to discuss aviation safety and United’s expanding operations. With over 18,000 employees in Illinois, United plays a key role in supporting our great state and the 1st district.
