Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJan 15(source)

Today, our nation commemorates the 97th birthday of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For me, Dr. King is not just a giant of history; he is a living moral compass whose words and witness shaped my family, my community, and my own calling to public service.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govNov 19(source)

Trump talks a big game while families in IL-01 feel the squeeze. Prices are up, health care is still broken, and corruption is running wild in Washington. I’m fighting to lower costs, protect your care, and clean up Trump’s mess so this economy finally works for working people.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govNov 18(source)

I voted to demand the Trump administration stop protecting the powerful and release the complete Epstein Files. Our national conscience demands this truth. Think of the victims whose lives were shattered; they deserve to finally find some measure of peace and justice.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govNov 18(source)

My Gen-Z interns have informed me that Trump is currently #GLAZING the brutal dictator Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia who was responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi

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

Trump and the GOP promised to lower costs; instead they hiked them sky-high! Reckless tariffs, higher health care bills, pricier groceries and utilities. They lied, and working families are paying the price. Democrats are laser-focused on lowering costs; because Americans deserve better.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson’s Statement on the Republican Spending Bill That Fails to Address America’s Health Care Crisis

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govNov 11(source)

On Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women in #IL01 and across the nation who have served our country with courage and dedication. Your sacrifice protects our freedoms, and we remain committed to serving you as faithfully as you have served us. Happy Veterans Day!

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govNov 3(source)

@HouseDemocrats know that the American people deserve better. That is why we are ready, willing and able to quickly reach a bipartisan agreement that reopens the government, ensures #SNAP benefits are paid, and lowers health care costs. #MakeAmericaHungryAgain

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 30(source)

Starting soon! Join me for a town hall at Chicago State University from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. Come be part of the conversation about the work we’re doing together and what’s ahead for our community. If you can’t make it in person, you can still watch live here 👉 facebook.com/repjackson

My office captured several stills from today’s @dhsgov.govmirrors.com video supporting Gregory Bovino. The imagery is deeply troubling; it evokes another era when masked government agents rounded up so-called “undesirables" (I’m sure that’s just a coincidence).

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 28(source)

@RepFields and I founded the Congressional #DEI Caucus to push back against Trump’s attacks on Black students. The data is clear: DEI bans have shut the doors of opportunity; locking THOUSANDS of Black students out of America’s top institutions. #DiversityEquityInclusion

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 28(source)

MAGAs shut down the government to make families choose between #Food and #Healthcare. End the shutdown and 7.3M lose care. Keep it going and 42M lose #SNAP benefits. Either way, @Trump stays well fed. #MakeAmericaHungryAgain #MAHA

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 28(source)

It’s day 28 of the shutdown, and I know many people are worried about what it means for them and their families. Join me this Thursday, October 30, at 6 p.m. CT at Chicago State for an in-person town hall to discuss its impacts and the resources available to help RSVP here: uscongress.app/kP32oet4y

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 28(source)

2 DAYS AWAY! Join us Thursday, October 30, 2025, from 6–7 PM CST at @ChicagoState’s Gwendolyn Brooks Library (9501 S. King Dr.) for an Emergency #TownHall on the GOP-led government #shutdown and key legislative updates on #ICE, #SNAP, and the #VotingRights. jonathanjackson.house.gov

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 27(source)

The in-person town hall originally scheduled for October 28 has been rescheduled for this Thursday, October 30, from 6–7 p.m. CT at Chicago State University. I look forward to hearing from you and continuing the conversation in person. RSVP here: uscongress.app/kP32oet4y

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 27(source)

Thank you to everyone who joined last week’s telephone town hall — I appreciated hearing your thoughts and questions about the government shutdown and its impact on our communities.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 27(source)

@POTUS found $40B to bailout #Argentina’s president, but can’t find $5B to keep food on American tables. Next week, #SNAP cuts will hit 1 in 8 Americans; not because we’re broke, but because this administration is choosing not to use available contingency funds. #AmericaFirst?

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

Yesterday I met with HealthCare Equity Advisory Council and banded together in a discovery meeting to discuss how to best support our hospitals, physicians and the broader healthcare community during the ongoing shutdown.
