I’m Peter Janko, and I’m officially running for State Representative in Illinois’ 69th District.

I currently serve as the elected Democratic State Central Committeeperson for Illinois’ 11th Congressional District, now in my third term since first being elected in 2018, where I’ve spent years doing one thing: turning political access into real-world results for working families.

I didn’t get into this work to make statements. I got into it to get things done.

I have worked with legislators at both the state and federal level to deliver results. Together, we secured funding for passenger rail service to Rockford, restoring a long-awaited connection for northern Illinois and also helped pave the way for the repeal of Illinois’ grocery tax on food and medicine, easing the burden on families across the state.

But the work isn’t finished. My next major initiative is the RAVE Act (Responsible Age Verification for Entry), a smarter, safer way to protect kids online without sacrificing the privacy of Illinois families. To make it a reality, I need your support. Join me, and let’s continue building solutions that put the needs of Illinois residents first.
