This Small Business Saturday is a good reminder to shop local whenever possible. Instead of Barnes and Nobles, try TAiLS of a Bookworm or Lit on Fire. Instead of Starbucks, try one of our many local chains like Leaves n Beans. Whatever you do, shop local first!

If I was looking for a house, you best bet I'd be looking at the Everett McKinley Dirksen house. As a coauthor of the national Civil Rights act (as a Republican!), he has always been one of my biggest hometown heroes.

Just a reminder to take some time today and give yourself some self care.
Read a book. Go on a hike. Play a game or binge watch that show. Whatever you do, just relax.

My thoughts on today, Trans day of Remembrance. A functional society should be inclusive to everyone. And when parts of that society are terrified to just exist, we have one in disarray.

One thing I absolutely love about living in the 93rd, is how I can just scoot 10 minutes out of town and see the beauty of our earth.
I also love that the heavens said that trans people belong. 🏳️⚧️💜

Federal acts affect us here at the state level. The 93rd district has a poverty rate on average of 10%, and removing vital lifelines like the SNAP program will only increase that rate.
Government is not a corporation and should not be run as such. But the Republicans seem to think it is.

Out at the Tazewell County Democrats collecting goods for local food pantries, and the community turned out! With still 5 hours left of collecting, I'm so proud of our community.

Congrats to the Democrats. It seems like when you are fighting for healthcare, food, and safety, and actually stand up for those that can't speak, we win elections.
Now let's carry this through next November! And don't ever stop fighting. 💜

I have not met a single voter yet who has told me that trans people have affected their lives negatively. To most people it's a nothingburger.

Today, I feel like we probably still haven't reached the bottom, but it may be in sight.
The blank, dead-eyed apathy where cis people simply didn't want to hear about what was happening to trans people feels like it's letting up.
