Chicago, IL – February 10, 2026 — The campaign of Neil Khot, Democratic candidate for Congress in Illinois’ 8th District, announced today the launch of a new television commercial beginning to air across the district.
The commercial tells a deeply personal story about why Khot is running for Congress, rooted in his family’s experience navigating a broken health insurance system. After insurance companies refused to provide his mother with the care she needed, Khot discovered that countless Chicago-area families were facing the same injustice.
Rather than walking away, Khot organized, fought back, and helped take on insurance companies, securing a major victory through Illinois Department of Insurance under Governor J.B. Pritzker. The ad highlights that victory as proof that standing up to powerful interests can lead to real results for working families and seniors.
“This campaign is about accountability,” Khot said. “Seniors deserve care, not roadblocks. Families deserve someone who will fight when the system fails them.”
The spot also draws a clear contrast on health care protections, emphasizing that when Donald Trump and his allies threaten to cut protections seniors rely on, Khot will stand in their way.
The commercial is airing on broadcast and digital platforms throughout the district as part of the campaign’s broader effort to connect directly with voters about affordability, health care access, and protecting seniors.
