Paul is running to replace Darin LaHood as the Representative for Illinois 16th District. LaHood is a total Trump puppet. LaHood doesn't even look like a serious person. BTW, what's wrong with Trumps thumb?

Today marks 500 days since this campaign began & 100 days until the election.

Thank you to everyone building this movement across #IL16. No corporate PAC money. No lobbyist influence. Just everyday people taking on an out-of-touch incumbent and fighting for what matters.

Let’s go!

We’re building a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and everyone in between who want new leadership and an independent voice in Washington. Together, we’ll protect Social Security, expand Medicare, and create more blue-collar careers and apprenticeships.

Today marks 61 years since Medicare and Medicaid became law. For six decades, they’ve provided essential care to seniors, children, people with disabilities, and millions more. Darin LaHood voted for largest Medicaid cuts ever. I’ll fight to reverse the LaHood cuts and expand Medicare access.

The story of how my grandfather and his fellow vets brought the LZ Peace Memorial in Rockford to life is truly inspirational. It's a vital place where one can reflect on the sacrifices and service of our countrymen.

“All gave some, some gave all.”

Wishing everyone a peaceful Memorial Day!

I stand with the working people of #IL16 & our growing list of endorsements from labor reflects this.

We fight for the people who build this country, not the ones who are actively working to tear it down, divide us & force us to fight for the scraps.

Thank you to IW Local 444 for your support!

An article called the president’s post from earlier today “jaw-dropping.” I would add ‘disgusting’ and ‘beneath the office.’

Any leader who can’t condemn it is pathetic.

Our nation’s moral decline is enabled by leaders like Darin LaHood who know better and stay silent.

I won’t.

Thank you to @ilaflcio.bsky.social and @uaw.org IL State CAP for their endorsements of our campaign! Next November, #IL16 voters will choose between someone who stands with working people and isn’t funded by corporate PACs—or someone beholden to corporate special interests.

📢 Proud to earn the endorsement of Teamsters Local 325, representing 1,000+ workers—drivers, dock workers, landscapers, public employees & more. Unions win better pay & benefits, but decades of attacks mean wages can’t keep up with costs. I’ll always stand with Labor & working families in #IL16.

✅ SUPPORT FROM PROVEN LEADERSHIP

Honored to earn my first endorsement from an elected leader: State Rep. Dave Vella! He knows what it takes to beat a long-time incumbent & has always stood up for working people. Proud to have his support as we fight for real change in #IL16.

Either he doesn't understand it, or he doesn't care. Neither option is okay. I think it might be both. We have to get this Trump puppet out of office. Support Paul Nolley for Congress!!! Paul Nolley for Congress
Darin LaHood doesn’t get to play both sides.

He can’t claim to fight for families while voting to rip away their health care.

The Trump budget is brutal—and LaHood knows exactly what’s in it.

I just read @tinasfon.bsky.social's article in the @chicago.suntimes.com and must respond to this quote from Darin LaHood. We should be preventing the largest tax decrease to the well-off and well-connected!!!!

Today I stood to ask that Medicaid and SNAP be protected from any cuts and Republicans REFUSED to entertain my request. People will be harmed and some will die but Republicans don’t care because billionaires will keep their tax breaks.

Instead of primarying the likes of L. Underwood in Illinois, Dems need to make it our life mission to flip #IL12 Bost #IL15 Miller & #IL16 LaHood. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The entire Illinois GOP delegation of Mike Bost, Darin LaHood and Mary Miller voted for the #BigUglyBill, which threatens to close nine at-risk rural hospitals. See if your hospital is on the list.
