The Comptroller is the state’s chief financial officer, responsible for paying the state’s bills and making sure workers, agencies, schools, nonprofits, and get paid on time. That matters to us because when payments are delayed, it impacts our jobs, our contracts, and the services our communities rely on. We endorse Karina Villa because she has always been a champion for SEIU and working families, holding corporations accountable and fighting to protect workers’ pay and public services across Illinois. She’ll make sure working people are a priority.

El Contralor es el director financiero del estado, responsable de pagar las facturas del estado y asegurarse de que los trabajadores, las agencias, las escuelas, las organizaciones sin fines de lucro reciban su pago a tiempo. Eso nos importa porque cuando los pagos se retrasan, afecta nuestros trabajos, nuestros contratos y los servicios de los que dependen nuestras comunidades. Respaldamos a Karina Villa porque siempre ha sido una defensora de SEIU y de las familias trabajadoras, responsabilizando a las corporaciones y luchando para proteger el salario de los trabajadores y los servicios públicos en todo Illinois. Ella se asegurará de que los trabajadores sean una prioridad.

website: https://driverforchange.com/

For the past six years, Anthony has been a leader at SEIU in Illinois. As Political Coordinator at SEIU Healthcare (HCII), where he was crucial in securing landmark victories including raising Chicago’s minimum wage to $15 an hour and establishing Chicago’s first Civilian Oversight Board over its police department. More recently Anthony has served as Executive Director of the SEIU Illinois State Council, representing more than 160,000 SEIU members statewide. In this role, he lead legislative and political strategy, organizing campaigns, and policy initiatives that center workers’ rights and social justice. A labor leader, he has helped organize one of Illinois’ most diverse unions to fight for workers across race and zip code.

In 2022, Anthony was appointed as a Commissioner for the City of Chicago’s Civilian Oversight body (CCSPA) and subsequently elected President of the Commission. As President of the CCPSA, he’s taken on tough battles and won: pushing to reduce crime, fight for victims, increase police accountability, and give everyday Chicagoans a voice in how they’re protected.

Anthony will bring the voice of working people to the halls of power, not as a newcomer, but as someone who’s lived their struggle and led their fight.

Durante los últimos seis años, Anthony ha sido un líder en SEIU Illinois. Como Coordinador Político de SEIU Healthcare (HCII), jugó un papel crucial en la consecución de victorias históricas, como el aumento del salario mínimo de Chicago a $15 por hora y el establecimiento de la primera Junta de Supervisión Civil de Chicago para el departamento de policía. Más recientemente, Anthony se ha desempeñado como Director Ejecutivo del Consejo Estatal de SEIU Illinois, representando a más de 160,000 miembros de SEIU en todo el estado. En este cargo, lideró la estrategia legislativa y política, organizando campañas e iniciativas políticas centradas en los derechos de los trabajadores y la justicia social. Como líder sindical, ha ayudado a organizar uno de los sindicatos más diversos de Illinois para luchar por los trabajadores de todas las razas y códigos postales.

En 2022, Anthony fue nombrado Comisionado del Órgano de Supervisión Civil de la Ciudad de Chicago (CCSPA) y posteriormente elegido Presidente de la Comisión. Como presidente de la CCPSA, ha asumido duras batallas y ha ganado:

impulsar la reducción del crimen
luchar por las víctimas
aumentar la responsabilidad policial
dar a los ciudadanos comunes de Chicago una voz sobre cómo están protegidos.

Daniel Biss For Congress (IL-9)

En el Distrito Congresional 9 de Illinois, Daniel Biss es la persona ideal para el puesto. No solo protegerá los derechos de los trabajadores, sino que también luchará por reformar las leyes laborales federales para que todos los trabajadores tengan la libertad de organizarse en un sindicato. Necesitamos más líderes progresistas como Daniel en el Congreso, que garanticen la voz de todos los trabajadores, luchen por aumentar los salarios y fortalezcan los servicios públicos de los que dependen nuestras comunidades.

IL Senate / Senado De Illinois

State Senator Lakesia Collins (5th District)

As a former nursing home worker, State Senator Lakesia Collins witnessed the impact

of understaffing and heavy workloads, fueling her passion to become a leader in SEIU

Healthcare Illinois and help pass groundbreaking nursing home reform legislation. As a

single mother of three boys, she understands the importance of safety and stability for

children.

Senator Collins’ journey has also included personal struggles. As a teen, she

experienced homelessness and was forced to couch surf between family and friends.

Understanding the hardships that come along with that instability has been a driving

force behind Senator Collins’ fierce advocacy for Illinois’ youth in care. She is a former

State Representative, appointed to the State Senate in 2023, and has committed her

career to fighting for youth, safeguarding reproductive rights as a member of the Dobbs

working group, and securing opportunities for the 5th district.

Legislative Highlights:

Protecting homeowners by streamlining the process of removing trespassers from private property.
Reducing everyday expenses for families by supporting the gas and grocery tax freeze.
Passing legislation like the KIND Act- developing new standards to allow grandparents or other relatives to support and care for children and relatives in foster.
Expanding access to healthcare and lowering the cost of prescription drugs.
Supporting moms by passing the Birth Equity initiative– which aims to reduce maternal mortality and requires insurance providers to cover post and prenatal care and resources.
Bringing jobs to the district by investing in apprenticeship programs and securing funding for infrastructure projects.
