Bruce Leon for Congress

Counter Terrorism

<p>We officially launched our campaign with an unforgettable kickoff —&nbsp;<em>Unity in the Community.</em>&nbsp;More than 1,000 neighbors, friends, and families joined us in Skokie for a day of celebration and purpose. From the Jessie White Tumblers dazzling the crowd to the petting zoo, food, and festivities, the energy was incredible.</p>

<h4>Over 1000 Attend Bruce's Unity in the Community Kickoff</h4>

<p><strong>I’m running for Congress.</strong></p><p>Not because I’ve always dreamed of being in politics — but because I believe we need people in Washington who’ve actually built something. Who’ve led teams. Hired people. Faced hard choices. Stuck to their values — even when it wasn’t easy...</p>

<h4>I'm Running</h4>

<p>Bruce believes a fair economy should reward work, not just wealth. Prosperity should not depend on where you are born or who you know. He will fight to narrow the opportunity gap by making the wealthiest individuals and large corporations pay their fair share and investing that revenue in education, job training, and small business growth, smart hand ups that help people stand. <a href="/expand-opportunity-narrow-the-gap#block-cf52c349-a0be-4f49-a8a4-adbe5c68f941"><strong>Click Here For More</strong></a></p>

<h2>Expanding Opportunity and Narrowing the Gap</h2>

<p>Our campaign had a fantastic week.

<h4>Campaigning Our Way</h4>

<p>Years ago, I met a family who was just weeks away from losing their home. They had fallen behind on payments after a medical crisis, and foreclosure was almost certain. They were good people who had worked hard all their lives, but like so many Americans, they had no cushion when life went sideways....</p>

<h4>Housing That Works: Keeping the American Dream Within Reach</h4>

<p><strong>Jewish students at Northwestern did not feel safe. They were harassed, intimidated, and pushed out of campus spaces</strong>. That is the reality. Instead of acknowledging the harm done to these students, Mayor Biss chose to attack the settlement and frame the entire matter as a political conspiracy. That is not leadership. It is avoidance.</p>

<h4>Bruce Leon Responds to Northwestern Settlement</h4>

<p>Having seen what freedom means to people who risk everything for it, Bruce believes America must lead with dignity, diplomacy, and strength. He’ll stand with allies like Israel and Ukraine, support democracy abroad, and promote human rights everywhere. America’s leadership should be measured not by how loudly we threaten, but by how effectively we build peace and protect freedom.</p>

<h2>Renewing America’s Leadership in the World</h2>

<p><strong>NILES, IL —</strong>&nbsp;The Assyrian for Bruce Coalition convened today for an inspiring roundtable bringing together Assyrian civic leaders, faith leaders, small-business owners, and community advocates from across the 9th District. The gathering centered around honest conversation, shared history, and a unified commitment to the future of the Assyrian people—both in the diaspora and in their ancestral homeland...</p>

<h4>Bruce Leon Launches Assyrians for Bruce Coalition</h4>

<p>Every family deserves to feel safe and respected — in their homes, schools, and neighborhoods. Bruce will tackle rising crime and keep dangerous guns off the streets while defending reproductive freedom and fighting for clean air and water. Because safety, dignity, and opportunity all depend on a government that protects people and their rights. </p>

<h2>Securing Safe and Inclusive Communities</h2>

<p>CHICAGO, IL —&nbsp;Democratic 9th congressional candidate&nbsp;Bruce Leon&nbsp;today called for a&nbsp;temporary truce between Chicago, Illinois, and the federal government&nbsp;to protect immigrant families and reduce the risk of further escalation amid ongoing immigration enforcement disputes...</p>

<p>Someone asked me the other day why I’m running for Congress. He told me he’d just bought a house in a gated community in Florida and couldn’t figure out why I’d spend my days at food banks, town halls, and late-night fundraising calls instead of sitting by the beach.</p><p>Here’s why: I’m wired...</p>

<h4>Some people tune it out. I can’t.</h4>

<p>What a joy to join the vibrant celebration of India’s Independence Day Parade this Sunday! Walking alongside friends, neighbors, and community members down <strong>Devon Avenue</strong> reminded me once again of the strength and diversity that make our district so special....</p>

<h4>Bruce Stands Against Hate at Chicago Commission Hearing</h4>

<p>Politics has become a performance — all sound bites and outrage, while real problems go unsolved. Bruce will rebuild trust and accountability so voters — not special interests or flame throwers — decide who holds power. He supports term limits, fair maps, and banning members of Congress from trading stocks, because integrity in government isn’t optional — it’s the job. </p>
