Daniel Biss for Congress in Illinois’ 9th District
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Daniel Biss for Congress in Illinois’ 9th District — a proven progressive leader who has spent his career taking on entrenched power, delivering real change, and fighting for a government and an economy that work for working people.
A mathematician, community activist, former Illinois state legislator, and current mayor of Evanston, Daniel isn’t just someone who talks about progressive change — he has a record of making it happen.
In the Illinois legislature, Daniel helped pass protections for LGBTQ+ youth, major abortion rights legislation, retirement savings options for hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans, and stronger technology privacy protections. As mayor, he took on money and entrenched power to enact campaign finance reform and helped pass a first-in-the-state Healthy Buildings Ordinance to curb carbon emissions.
Now, Daniel is ready to take that fight to Washington.
His Future We Deserve Agenda takes direct aim at the concentration of corporate and billionaire power that has made life harder for working families. Daniel wants to strengthen antitrust enforcement, crack down on private equity abuse, end corporate tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs and exploit workers, cap credit card interest rates, expand tuition-free public college, and take on Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Big Tech, and Big Oil.
Daniel understands that economic inequality and political inequality go hand in hand. He supports making wealthy Americans pay their fair share, expanding Social Security benefits, protecting Medicare and Medicaid, and Medicare for All. He is also refusing corporate PAC money because he believes elected officials should answer to their constituents — not corporations and wealthy special interests.
And Daniel is serious about changing the rules that allow big money and corruption to dominate our democracy. He supports public matching funds for small-dollar campaign contributions, getting corporate money out of politics, banning members of Congress from trading stocks, ending the revolving door between Congress and lobbying, imposing an enforceable ethics code on the Supreme Court, and establishing 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices.
At a moment when Donald Trump is testing the limits of presidential power, Daniel is also prepared to fight back. His agenda calls for passing the No Kings Act to reject unlimited presidential immunity, restoring Congress’s authority, defending voting rights, protecting abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, and strengthening civil liberties nationwide.
Daniel has been organizing for progressive change since he was 25, when he spoke out against the Iraq War and began organizing for progressive candidates and causes. From the state legislature to Evanston City Hall, he has shown that progressive government can take on powerful interests and deliver results.
Now, he’s ready to bring that fight to Congress.
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Daniel Biss for Congress in IL-09. Together, we can elect another bold progressive who will take on corporate power, defend our democracy, and put working people at the center of our politics.
