Awisi Quartey Bustos

AIPAC doesn’t fund her. Illinois fuels her. Vote — Awisi Bustos for U.S. Senate: Unbought, Unbossed, Unstoppable.

Believe in the future we can build together.

Women like me aren’t supposed to run for the United States Senate.
They told me to shrink. To wait. To step aside

I didn’t listen. I ran anyway.

Because Illinois doesn’t shrink—and neither do I.

I am a single mom.
An immigrant.
A public servant.
A proud daughter of Illinois.

In the 2026 race to replace U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, ballot-qualified candidates like me have been locked out of debates, blocked from media access, and denied open forums.

The establishment made one mistake.
They underestimated a daughter of Ghana forged in Illinois.

Illinois produces leaders who rise from purpose—not privilege.
My journey is no different.

The Democratic Primary is March 17.
Share this message. Amplify this campaign.

On March 17, vote Awisi Quartey Bustos for U.S. Senate.

Because We the People still hold the power.

Together—We Rise.

A spirit that can move mountains ⛰️.

The train is on course, join the movement‼️
