<h2 style="text-align: center;">Lowering Health Care Costs and Taking on the Insurance Giants</h2>I believe health care is a human right. My faith teaches me that every life is precious — and that we’re responsible for each other. No one should have to choose between getting the care they need and keeping a roof over their head.

Priorities List

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Climate, Clean Water, and the Great Lakes</h2>Protecting our air and water isn’t abstract, it’s about kids’ asthma, safe drinking water, and whether our communities can withstand extreme storms.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Protecting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security</h2>Seniors deserve to retire with dignity.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Investing in Innovation and Responsible Technology</h2>I want America to lead the world in innovation, and I want the next generation of jobs and breakthroughs built right here at home. That means investing in cutting-edge industries like AI, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and blockchain — and creating clear rules of the road that protect consumers without smothering innovation.

<h2>I've never backed down from a fight.

I was raised with the values of Tikkun Olam—the responsibility to repair a broken world—and the belief that we are judged not by our words, but by how we treat the most vulnerable among us.</h3>Fifteen years ago, I learned exactly what that responsibility looks like. My husband was in a life-threatening car accident. In a single second, he almost lost his life, and my boys almost lost their father. As we sat by that hospital bed, our insurance company tried to walk away. They tried to cancel our coverage, leaving us under a mountain of medical bills and facing bankruptcy.Our insurance company thought I would back down. Big mistake. They picked a fight with the wrong woman.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/0c114d78-2e49-4e74-936d-d4939d930b2f/181c2c7c-a26d-4307-9346-955870625aae/181c2c7c-a26d-4307-9346-955870625aae.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C2048%2C1536&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">I didn’t just see a legal battle; I saw a moral one. I refused to let a broken system take everything we had worked for. That fight changed me. It turned a survivor into a fighter, and that fighter into a legislator. I didn’t run for office to be someone; I ran to do something. For the last 13 years, I’ve used that same tenacity to pass nearly 200 laws—from taking on the insurance giants to unmasking ICE.I’m running for Congress in IL-09 to prove that when we stand up to powerful interests, we win.What will you fight for? <a href="mailto:info@laurafineforcongress.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tell me about it</a>. Then let’s go get it done, together.&nbsp;

“I'm running for Congress because Washington is failing Illinois families. Trump and the Republicans in Congress want to rip away our access to health care. I personally know what that's like. I've expanded families' access to healthcare and I'll never stop fighting for our future."

Page Intro

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Defending Reproductive Freedom</h2>I believe every person deserves the freedom to make decisions about their own body and their future, without politicians interfering. In my tradition, the health and life of the mother are paramount. These decisions belong to patients, families, and doctors. I’ve fought to make Illinois a national leader in reproductive freedom, and I’ll keep fighting to protect these rights nationwide. <h3 style="text-align: left;">Agenda:</h3><ul><li>Codify access to abortion, contraception, IVF, gender-affirming care, and the full range of reproductive care nationwide</li><li>Shield providers from frivolous and targeted lawsuits</li><li>Fully fund Planned Parenthood and other providers delivering essential reproductive care </li></ul><h3 style="text-align: left;">Record</h3><ul><li>Banned housing and hiring discrimination based on reproductive health care decisions</li><li>Expanded insurance coverage for infertility treatments to include LGBTQ+ couples and single parents</li><li>Championed legislation protecting the right to choose, expanding access to gender-affirming care, and protecting providers from out-of-state criminalization</li></ul><a href="/924af7f1-dc04-4b07-a37d-67e31c111a05#block-6b5b4acc-3ca7-4871-a6a1-b4e363c37a24">Back to top</a>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Immigration and American Leadership Abroad</h2>I believe we can have secure borders and still treat people humanely. Families shouldn’t live in fear, and our immigration system shouldn’t be cruel. My faith teaches me to welcome the stranger and to protect the vulnerable. I also believe America should lead with our values: defending democracy, protecting human rights, supporting allies, and preventing conflict whenever possible. In Congress, I’ll fight for policies that reflect both our security and our conscience.<h3 style="text-align: left;">Agenda — Immigration &amp; Civil Liberties</h3><ul><li>Pass legislation giving DACA (Dreamers) the peace of mind that their ability to stay in the U.S. will never be under threat again</li><li>Reform the asylum and green card systems by increasing the number of immigration judges and asylum officers to reduce backlogs and ensure timely, orderly processing</li><li>Ensure individuals seeking asylum or a green card have a fair hearing, access to legal representation, and a system that adjudicates cases efficiently while upholding the rule of law</li><li>Abolish ICE and replace it with a humane, accountable immigration system that upholds due process, respects human rights, and treats immigrants with dignity. </li><li>Protect civil liberties while supporting safety and resilience</li></ul><h3>Agenda — Foreign Policy &amp; American Leadership</h3><ul><li>Reassert Congressional power over military engagements and tariff policy</li><li>Require the President to consult and seek Congressional approval before any new military engagement or major tariff action</li><li>Promote stability in the Middle East by advocating for a two-state solution so Palestinians and Israelis can live side-by-side in peace and dignity</li><li>Support an end to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza by ensuring food and medicine can reach civilians at scale</li><li>Support a swift, sustainable end to the Russia–Ukraine war that protects Ukrainian security and sovereignty</li><li>Repair relationships harmed by extremist, authoritarian-friendly foreign policy and strengthen alliances that keep Americans safe</li><li>Secure trade relationships that support jobs and small businesses here at home</li><li>Reform USAID and strengthen global public health efforts to prevent the next pandemic</li><li>Rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement and lead international climate and plastic pollution negotiations</li></ul><h3 style="text-align: left;">Record</h3><ul><li>Championed and passed nation-leading immigration legislation that creates a 1,000-foot safe zone around courthouses, increases protections at day cares, hospitals, and schools, and allows individuals to sue federal agents who violate constitutional rights — with penalties for masked agents</li><li>Introduced legislation barring ICE officers hired under the Trump administration from taking state and local law enforcement jobs</li><li>Worked for years through Hands of Peace, bringing Israeli, Palestinian, and American teenagers together to listen, share their stories, and imagine a future beyond violence</li><li>Served as Co-Chair of the Illinois Senate Legislative Jewish Caucus and led efforts to confront antisemitism and political violence</li><li>Supported collaborations between Illinois institutions and Israeli universities on research in public health, mental health, and clean energy</li></ul><a href="/924af7f1-dc04-4b07-a37d-67e31c111a05#block-6b5b4acc-3ca7-4871-a6a1-b4e363c37a24">Back to top </a>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Standing Up to Special Interests to Protect Consumers</h2>I didn’t just take on the insurance giants for my own family — I turned that fight into a career of standing up to powerful industries on behalf of yours. I’ve passed some of Illinois’ toughest consumer protections, and I’m ready to bring that same backbone to Congress.<h3 style="text-align: left;"> Agenda:</h3><ul><li>Pass strong data privacy protections so your personal information can’t be exploited online</li><li>Hold social media companies accountable for how they target kids — and stop designs built to keep teens hooked</li><li>Crack down on junk fees and require real, upfront price transparency</li><li>Ban PFAS (“forever chemicals”) in consumer products — especially products used by children</li><li>Support clear federal rules for cryptocurrency and digital assets that protect consumers and give responsible innovators stable rules (including legislation like the Clarity Act)</li></ul><h3 style="text-align: left;">Record</h3><ul><li>Required baby food manufacturers to test for toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic</li><li>Banned colleges and universities from withholding transcripts because of past debt</li><li>Strengthened safety and inspection standards for trampoline parks to better protect children and teens</li><li>Required transparency so consumers know what travel insurance covers — and what it doesn’t</li></ul><a href="/924af7f1-dc04-4b07-a37d-67e31c111a05#block-6b5b4acc-3ca7-4871-a6a1-b4e363c37a24">Back to top</a>

Special Interests

<h3>Laura's path to public service began with a fight for her family’s future.</h3><img src="https://run.imgix.net/0c114d78-2e49-4e74-936d-d4939d930b2f/b13c3d02-1040-4b0b-a04f-84e13a651eae/b13c3d02-1040-4b0b-a04f-84e13a651eae.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C9%2C3317%2C3495&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Raised in Glenview, Illinois, blocks from where she lives today, Laura grew up believing in education, community, and the responsibility to stand up for others.&nbsp; After graduating from Indiana University, Laura began her career in journalism and broadcasting before going on to teach at Northeastern Illinois University. She and her husband, Michael, built their careers and family, raising their two sons, Jeremy and Jacob. In 2010, Laura’s world changed instantly when Michael was involved in a catastrophic car accident. After spending weeks in the hospital, Michael miraculously survived, although he lost his left arm. The insurance coverage they relied upon to navigate their medical expenses was unexpectedly denied when the company tried to cancel Michael’s insurance policy.&nbsp; While Michael began to recover, Laura was forced to battle a broken insurance system or face bankruptcy and lose their home. Laura stepped up. She studied and earned her insurance license to understand the industry in Illinois and fight against the heartless policies devastating her family.&nbsp;That experience lit a fire in Laura that still burns today. Laura refused to accept a system that failed families like hers. Laura took her fight from her living room to the halls of Springfield, winning election to the State House and then the Senate. In that time, she has built a record as Illinois’ leading champion for healthcare access, consumer protection, and mental health services.Laura wrote and passed laws that provide quality, affordable access to mental healthcare, grow the healthcare workforce, cut red tape to allow patients the medications they need, protect a woman's access to reproductive healthcare.Thanks to Laura's work, Illinois has gone from leading the nation in insurers wrongfully cancelling policies to having some of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country during her time in the General Assembly.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/0c114d78-2e49-4e74-936d-d4939d930b2f/c4072230-1728-4500-aa11-fb1d5891e68e/c4072230-1728-4500-aa11-fb1d5891e68e.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C6000%2C4000&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Laura has fought to expand newborn screening programs, protect infants from toxic heavy metals in baby foods, strengthen protections for children with disabilities, and expanded fertility coverage to all families.&nbsp; She has also tackled environmental threats, banning Styrofoam in Illinois and expanding protections for pollinators critical to our food systems. Through it all, Laura has never forgotten what brought her to public service: the families who need someone fighting on their side. For Laura, every bill, every battle, and every victory is personal – because she knows what it’s like to be the person counting on a system that too often says no. Now Laura is running for Congress to continue her fight to make sure Illinois continues to have a champion in Washington that stands up for families, not special interests.

<h4>Updated 2.28.26</h4>Likely Democratic primary voters in the 9th Congressional District — particularly older voters and suburban voters, with a focus beginning in the outer suburbs and moving toward the city – should spend the next several weeks seeing in broadcast, cable, and digital ads, and reading in mail the following message:Laura Fine, who was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune and the Daily Herald, is the fighter and the winner Democrats need right now.<ul><li>When Laura’s husband was nearly killed in a devastating car accident, she took on the insurance companies who tried to cancel her coverage to avoid paying – and won;</li><li>She took her fight to Springfield, where she beat the insurance companies again – this time on behalf of all Illinois families;</li><li>She went on to become one of Springfield’s most effective legislators, passing over 200 laws;</li><li>She’s been a consistent champion to improve health care in the state<ul><li>She is the only candidate in this race who voted to make abortion a fundamental health care right in Illinois;</li><li>She expanded mental health care programs;</li><li>And she supports Medicare for All, breaking the grip the insurance companies have over the health care system.
