I’m Demi Palecek — a queer working-class veteran and the proud daughter of a Mexican immigrant.
I’ve fought for trans service members, advocated for survivors of military sexual assault, and organized in my own community to feed, house, and protect our neighbors.
Now, I’m running to bring that same fight — for justice, compassion, and accountability — to Springfield.
Corporate PACs or political insiders don’t back this campaign. It’s powered by people like you who believe in courage, service, and care.
If you believe Illinois deserves leaders who show up for their community, not for themselves — chip in today to power this movement.
