“Representative Nichols is a strong supporter of the Arab American community and fights for the rights of all people regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or color,” said Hassan Nijem, president of the Arab American Chamber of Commerce.

“Nichols is one of the most aggressive members of the Illinois House when it comes to fighting for the rights of constituents,” said journalist and media consultant Ray Hanania. “He is a principled legislator who treats everyone fairly and has delivered much to his district constituents during his first term in office.”

Nichols is endorsed by the Arab American Democratic Club of Chicagoland.
