Good morning from Chicago!
This year’s Governor’s Day was the best one yet!
Democrats are the party that gets things done. And there’s no better example of that than what we’ve been able to do here in Illinois.

Donald Trump is trying to cheat the system in Texas, but these Democratic legislators refuse to let it happen without a fight.
Their fight is our fight. I’m proud to stand side-by-side with them as they protect their constituents.

We’re facing a critical moment in our nation’s history.
We cannot stand by and watch as rights are taken away piece by piece. I took an oath to protect Illinoisans, and I will not let doom grifters, MAGA Republicans, or Donald Trump stop me.

The story of Illinois is being told right here in Peoria. We have repaired and expanded infrastructure and brought thousands of jobs to the area, giving working families the resources they need. I am running for re-election to protect that story – to keep Illinois moving forward.

Rockford is on the rise.
It’s a case study of what we can do when we treat our problems as solvable and our future as limitless. We’ve brought new investments and new jobs to the city of Rockford over the last seven years, and we’re ready to keep up the progress.

Our state has come a long way from the days of a 793-day budget crisis.
This week, we passed our seventh balanced budget in a row. We’re prioritizing the needs of working families, creating opportunities for everyone, and protecting the lives and livelihoods of our people.
