Jan Schakowsky, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Illinois' 9th district, recently shared her views on several key issues via social media. Schakowsky has been a prominent political figure since replacing Sidney R. Yates in 1999 and has previously served in the Illinois House of Representatives and the Cook County Board of Commissioners.
On March 5, 2025, Schakowsky commented on the impact of the CHIPS and Science Act. She stated that it had "funded cutting-edge research, brought thousands of strong, good-paying jobs back to the U.S., and powered a resurgence in American semiconductor manufacturing." The statement was made during the #JointAddress event (source).
Later that day, Schakowsky addressed economic concerns by challenging current priorities with her tweet: "War on woke? How about you lower costs for the American people" (source).
In another post from March 5, she reflected on recent history by reminding followers that "it was just four years ago when Capitol police officers were violently attacked by a mob of election deniers emboldened by Trump" (source).
