I enjoyed meeting with constituents in Streeterville recently!

During these turbulent times, it’s important to come together and remember to support our community.

Joan Esposito is joined by Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley, Democrat representing the 5th District of Illinois. The interview focused on threats against public officials and concerns about political use of federal power ahead of the midterm election. Here are a few highlights from the conversation:- Quigley...

Wishing all of my constituents a safe and Happy Halloween!🎃

I enjoyed celebrating with YMCA Lakeview and Chicago Housing Authority seniors!

Before Election Day on Tuesday, I want to be crystal clear that our elections are safe and secure.

I’m proud to be the first cosponsor on @congressmanraja.bsky.social bill to crack down on #Flock cameras in your neighborhood. This bill will withhold federal transportation funding from any state that uses Flock cameras, automated license plate readers, and other technology for nefarious purposes.

My Washington, DC office is hiring a paid Communications Intern for the Spring 2027 Semester!📣

The Communications Intern will report directly to my Communications Team and get to experience the inner workings of #Congress. If you or someone you know is interested, apply by November 20th!

17 years ago today, President Obama signed the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law.

As Todd Blanche’s DOJ continues their lax enforcement of federal hate crime laws, I’m fighting with the @equality.house.gov to stop these attacks and protect all Americans.

Dolores Huerta paved the way for millions of farmworkers, organizers, women, and Mexican Americans.

I join her descendants, loved ones, and admirers in mourning her loss. May she rest in peace.

To Ms. Huerta, thank you for making our country better🇺🇸

It’s Intersex Awareness Week! Intersex Americans—people who have variations in their chromosomes, hormones, or anatomy—often face discrimination or incompetent care in the doctor’s office.

After weeks of raising concerns with Amtrak about the relocation of the facility to Union Pacific’s Canal Street Yard, I am pleased to hear that FRA will conduct a full environmental assessment. This will give the community a long-overdue opportunity to provide input on the project.

LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. I’m proud to receive 100% from the @hrc.org on their official Congressional Scorecard this year!

As the LGBTQ+ community continues to be attacked by this administration, I remain dedicated to defending equality for all.

Learn more about the scorecard here.

Today is the last day to submit your app for the Congressional App Challenge!

Yesterday, I visited the National Public Housing Museum in Chicago. The museum finally opened last year, after years of advocacy. Their work preserves the history of the many Americans who fought to create public housing in the United States.

On October 22, Chicago Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-05) joined CNN International to discuss Russia’s attempts to interfere with our upcoming midterm elections. The Russian government has paid thousands of pro-Russia social media accounts to sow election disinformation against U.S. candidates supportive of...

A founding member of CEC's Trans Equality Task Force, Vice Chair @quigley.house.gov helped lead the opposition to a set of anti-trans rules proposed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services earlier this year.

Our community is lucky to have a fighter like Rep. Quigley!

October is LGBTQ+ History Month!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎉

In 1970, Chicago’s very first Pride was held in our very own Washington Square Park. I’m working with the LGBT Hall of Fame to secure a plaque that shares this special piece of history.

We must remember what it took to get here, and how far we can go together.

It was great to see so many of my Wicker Park constituents at BooPalooza this weekend!👻🎃

During these turbulent times, it’s incredibly important to make time for our community and remember what matters.

The future of Ukrainian refugees in Chicago is in limbo. Over 100,000 are worried they could be sent back into a war zone. 
 
That’s why I’m leading a letter with @repvalhoyle.bsky.social and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick.

I’m cosponsoring the National Archives Protection Act because our history needs to be protected.

This bill by @kevinmullin.house.gov and @chuygarcia.house.gov will prohibit the closure of records centers by the Trump admin and other politicians—including Chicago’s National Archives facility.
