Since I signed the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act into law in IL:
🟢Solar projects have grown to nearly 80k.
🟢Solar jobs are growing by 58%.
🟢We’re on track to reach 50% renewable energy by 2050.
We’re turning our vision for a clean energy future into reality. Thanks to a recent $25 million grant, my administration will double the number of publicly available charging ports for electric vehicles — a big step towards a greener future.

Here in Illinois, we believe in a woman’s right to make decisions about her body, health and future.
From launching a $1M diaper distribution program to increasing the budget for the Illinois Reproductive Health Facilities Grant program, my budget proposal for maternal health would expand birth equity and reproductive health justice throughout Illinois.
