Abdallah Alkodah speaking to community members

From the People. For the People.

No party machine. No corporate donors. Just Abdallah J. Alkodah, an EMT, first responder, and neighbor running as an independent for State Representative in Illinois' 13th District.

Accountable to you, Not a party Show up Listen Fight

Politics forgot the people it was built to serve. We're here to remember.

Abdallah J. Alkodah is an unapologetically Arab-American Muslim, an EMT and first responder, and an independent candidate for State Representative in Illinois' 13th District. He's running with no party backup system because he's not a sellout. He is from the people, for the people, and proudly supported by hardworking residents across the district.

Now the establishment is trying to challenge his petition signatures and keep him off the ballot. This campaign is the fight to let voters decide who represents them, not party machines.

Abdallah Alkodah greeting a community member

A neighbor,
not a politician.

Paramedic / EMT

As an EMT and first responder, Abdallah has spent his career answering when people need help most, riding ambulances through every neighborhood in the district, in every kind of weather, for every kind of family. That work taught him a simple truth: people don't care about your party. They care whether you show up.

He's not a career politician, and he isn't pretending to be. He's running because he's tired of watching working families get talked past while the people who claim to represent them answer to donors three states away.

What we
fight for

This only
works with
you.

A campaign with no party behind it runs on neighbors. Pick a way to help. Give an hour or give a Saturday, both move us forward.
