You’ve got to govern for all the people of your state.

Whether it’s Chicago or Cairo, we’ve invested in education, infrastructure, and jobs in every part of the state.

We need more people who are willing to reach across the aisle and do the right thing when they’re in office.

Today, I'm proud to sign legislation to keep our children and our communities safe from gun violence.

We will now require firearm tracing in all cases through the eTrace platform and strengthen our gun and safety requirements for households with guns.

This is actually a significant & frightening step in the fascist flex.

If you support someone targeted by Trump the DOJ will turn its investigatory muscle against you.

Change cannot come soon enough.

NYC's largest union—the mighty @dc37nyc.bsky.social—stood with us in the primary when few thought victory was possible. Now they're all in for the general election.

Together, we'll deliver a city where the people who keep it running can afford it too.
