Budzinski is the first candidate in IL13 of either party to go up on broadcast television. The six-figure media buy will run heavily in the Champaign-Decatur-Springfield market in the lead-up to the June 28th primary.
Springfield, IL – Today, the Nikki Budzinski for Congress campaign is launching its first TV and radio ads of the election. The TV ad, titled “Rebuild,” is in Budzinski’s own voice and focuses on the core economic issues voters in the district are facing. The radio ads, recorded by State Senator Chris Belt and Urbana City Councilwoman Chaundra Bishop, will run in the Metro East and Urbana-Champaign markets respectively.
Budzinski tells voters about her history of fighting for working people in the labor movement, her track record on issues like helping lead the effort to raise Illinois’ minimum wage to $15 an hour, and her focus on tackling inflation to rebuild the middle class.

The script of the ad is as follows:
I’m Nikki Budzinski – I’m running for Congress to rebuild our middle class.
I was born in Peoria, and grew up middle class – but for too many, it’s slipping away.
I worked for the Firefighters union to get them the support they deserve.
And helped lead the effort to pass Illinois’ fifteen-dollar minimum wage.
Now we need to tackle inflation and cut taxes for the middle class.
So you keep more of what you earn.
And that’s why I approve this message.
