Yasmeen Deserves Your Vote Because…

I hold federal congressional experience and currently serve as a local elected official in this district, where I have worked hard to pass ordinances that have helped to improve the lives of my residents. I’ve also spent most of my life being raised in the 8th district, so I am deeply rooted and committed to our collective success as a community. Ultimately, I believe that we are in a moment in time where people want a new generation of leaders who are willing to stand up, speak out, and get things done. Through my previous work and legislative actions, I’ve shown that I can meet this moment for the constituents of Illinois’ 8th Congressional District.
