Grateful to be delivering my seventh State of the State and Budget Address today.

For 207 years, Illinois governors have stood before the General Assembly to do what our first constitution mandated with messages reflecting the unique times they've served.

Tune in at 12 PM CT.
Folks, I'm delivering the 2025 State of the State and Budget Address on Feb 19 at 12 PM CT.

I’ll be discussing what we’ve done together to demonstrate fiscal responsibility, deliver for working families, and set up Illinois for success.

Mark your calendars.

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate emergency response in a natural disaster, education and healthcare for disabled children, gang crime investigations, clean air and water programs, monitoring of nursing home abuse, nuclear reactor regulation, and cancer research.

Unlike certain departments of government efficiency, our spending will reflect reality.

We are proposing cost-saving operational efficiencies, consolidating unnecessary funds, eliminating dormant boards and commissions, and overhauling state purchasing to save taxpayers money.

The days of unchecked health insurance greed are coming to an end here in Illinois.

We're dismantling predatory practices one by one to lower the cost of health care for working families.

This year, we’re banning prior authorization for all behavioral health care.

A sudden illness or accident shouldn't leave you with a lifetime sentence of poverty.

Today I'm announcing a second batch of medical debt cancellations, made possible through our landmark program established last year.

Over 100,000 Illinoisans have now seen their debt erased.

Corporations are hiking up prices to drive profits, while everyday Illinoisans are stuck with the bill.

It's not right — and we're calling them out and doing something about them in our state.

We’re taking more steps to increase access to health care and lower the costs.

One of the biggest challenges people are facing is housing.

The Director of Housing Solutions proposed a slate of reforms to unlock new financing, attract capital, incentivize builders, and eliminate barriers.

This year, we put those recommendations to work.

There's one thing teachers and parents alike are citing as an impediment to our students' success and mental health: cell phones.

This session, we're moving forward with legislation requiring school districts to adopt a cell phone policy that bans their usage during class.

We can't lose the forward momentum we're making in our students' success.

Our historic investments in Evidence-Based Funding have led to higher test scores and graduation rates.

I believe in building on what works - our budget proposes an increase in our commitment.

Here in Illinois, we're making education more attainable, affordable, and accessible.

We want to make sure our students can apply to our public universities with no fees and full confidence.

And enabling community colleges to offer the programs for in-demand career paths.

Going along to get along doesn't work.

Just ask the Trump-fearing red state Governors dealing with the same cuts we are.

I won't be fooled twice.

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.
