  • Melissa Bean for Congress BBQ

    June 14, 2026 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

    Melissa Bean is a business leader, former Congresswoman, and current Democratic nominee for Illinois’ 8th Congressional District. Originally from Des Plaines, she served three terms in Congress from 2005 to 2011, working with President Obama to pass critical legislation, including the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), Wall Street Reforms, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Known as a pragmatic problem-solver, Melissa served as a Vice Chair in the New Democrat Coalition, earning a reputation for working across the aisle to find consensus and deliver results. After her time in Congress, Melissa held senior leadership roles at JPMorgan Chase and Mesirow Financial. Now, Melissa is running to represent Illinois’ 8th District once again, to preserve the American Dream and American Values, and to bring experience, common sense, and a commitment to working families back to Washington.
