At first light this morning on Chicago’s lakefront, the past and present converged in a powerful way. Decorated World War II veteran Carl Lituri, now nearing his 100th birthday, led the annual Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremony at Navy Pier, casting a wreath into Lake Michigan in honor of his fallen comrades. Illinois Attorney General candidate Bob Fioretti joined Mr. Lituri and fellow supporters for this solemn tradition, demonstrating in a very visible way that remembrance i

Endorsement from Joseph Cervantez Former Jackson County State’s Attorney Joseph Cervantez has endorsed former Independent Alderman Bob Fioretti for Illinois Attorney General.

He stated, “We need to spend time and resources debating the incumbent and not each other. Bob Fioretti h

On Saturday, December 20, 2025 , the Billy Goat Tavern on Madison Avenue became more than a Chicago landmark-it became a launchpad for hope. With Bob Fioretti’s longstanding sponsorship and hands-on commitment, a core group of dedicated volunteers delivered a festive holiday lunch with Santa, turning a cold December afternoon into a warm, community-first experience for families who need it most, especially across Chicago’s Near West and West Sides. A Day Built on Service-and

Illinois has just had another wake-up call. A young woman was set on fire on the Blue Line by a man with 72 prior arrests who was out on pretrial release for a detainable violent offense. A Chicago doctor was beaten in an elevator by yet another repeat offender who, according to court records, had been arrested a dozen times this year alone and was again on release when he attacked. These are not abstractions in a policy debate. They are the predictable outcomes of a public-s

November 2025 has been a turbulent month. Illinois has established itself as one of the most corrupt states in the United States, and recent developments indicate that we have not yet learned from our past mistakes. Three separate cases from November 2025 expose a troubling pattern: political loopholes, insider deals, and regulatory failures that cost Illinois taxpayers millions while protecting the powerful and endangering the vulnerable. From campaign finance violations by

On Monday, November 17, 2025, a 26-year-old woman was set on fire on Chicago's Blue Line train. She was doused with liquid and set on fire at the Lake/Clark platform. A random passenger. On her way home. She did nothing wrong and ended up in Stroger Hospital with third-degree burns, fighting for her life. The alleged attacker? The system knew exactly who he was and still released him. A Preventable Tragedy According to local news sources, court and police records paint a chi

On November 15, 2025, Bob Fioretti was inducted into the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame, not for playing music, but for fighting to keep it alive. This honor reveals everything you need to know about the man running for Illinois Attorney General: when something matters to people, Bob Fioretti doesn't just talk. He fights. He shows up.

By Bob Fioretti This Veterans Day, Illinois leans in, reflecting on sacrifice, reaffirming gratitude, and recommitting to outcomes that tangibly improve the lives of those who served. Our veterans built the foundation we stand on; our responsibility is to deliver for them in the present tense. On Sunday, November 9, 2025, I attended a special Mass at St. Barnabas Church to honor our veterans. Alumni from Mendel Catholic High School joined me as we recognized the courage, disc

Last week, Bob Fioretti met with aspiring health professionals at Saint Xavier University to talk about a subject too often hidden in plain sight, child trafficking. For many allied health students, the most eye-opening insight wasn't just how trafficking operates in hospitals, clinics, schools, and online but how quickly a vigilant nurse, doctor, or counselor can spot red flags and change a child's trajectory. Awareness saves lives. Silence enables abuse. Why health students

Today marks a historic moment in Illinois politics. Former Speaker Michael Madigan, once the most powerful figure in state government, must turn himself in to federal authorities to face corruption charges. His fall from power is more than just a story of one man’s downfall. It’s a vivid reminder of a system that has too often allowed political power and money to intertwine at the expense of the people. For decades, the phrase “follow the money”  has been the surest way to u
