1-year ago, Illinois banned assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. That’s 365 days of nonproliferation of weapons of war in our communities. Thousands of volunteers and years of advocacy defeated the gun lobby in the Capitol and the courts. (1/5) @MomsDemand

That maximizes how taxpayer dollars are spent. Thank you to CSG for having me, and to Dr. Ben Osswald from UIUC for such a meaningful discussion. (3/3)

As a sponsor of the Interstate Compact Against Corporate Tax Giveaways bill in 2023, I’m proud that Illinois continues to find smarter, more responsible ways to attract businesses while maintaining a fiscally responsible incentive strategy (2/3)

Joining the Council of State Governments, I spoke on a panel yesterday about reshaping how we structure corporate tax incentive programs. Too often, states find themselves in a race to the bottom, competing over who can pay more to bring the most jobs to their state. (1/3)

for my constituents to obtain their REAL IDs. Thank you to our partners at the Secretary of State's office for helping us host this event! Need assistance with DMV services? Please reach out to my office - I’m always happy to help. (2/2)

Constituent services will continue to be a priority of mine, especially as the REAL ID deadline approaches for travelers. Starting February 1st, TSA will begin charging fees for travelers who do not present proper IDs, so I was glad to host a mobile DMV (1/2)

The Trump Administration finds new ways to pull the rug out from under Americans every day. And now they're putting babies in danger. Illinois just enacted a law to provide our own science-based recommendations to protect access to vaccines so families get the care they need.

“Committee member Hibbeln continued to criticize the efforts to change the recommendations. Hibbeln said this was the 4th version of the language presented in 96 hours, and that ‘no rational science has been presented’ to support changing the recommendations.” Deadly insanity🤬.

Illinois families deserve trusted advice about vaccines, guided by experts and established research.  With this new law, Illinois can respond swiftly to any dangerous or anti-science actions at the federal level – and ensure Illinoisans stay protected.

Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday signed legislation that formally establishes a process for state-level vaccine guidelines and expands pharmacy access to COVID-19 and other shots for young children across Illinois. https://t.co/4m5QJ6VeJk

Illinois will not flinch, nor will we falter, when confronted with attacks on our healthcare system by figures like RFK Jr. Today, alongside @GovPritzker, my bill HB767 was signed into law: a first-in-the-nation measure establishing a state-based vaccine-recommending body.

Sending warm Thanksgiving wishes to all! May today remind us of the blessings we share and the continued gratitude this season brings. My office will be closed for the holiday and will reopen on December 1st at 9 AM. Enjoy the holiday!

At a time when local food pantries are experiencing increased strain, this community-led effort is more important than ever. If you or someone you know could use a warm and welcoming place to go this Thanksgiving, please share this event widely.

On Thursday, November 27, 2025, from 12–3 PM, the NorthShore Giving Foundation will host a Free Community Thanksgiving Meal. This event is open to anyone facing hardship or spending the holiday on their own.

This Thanksgiving, our community is coming together to ensure no one spends the holiday alone and everyone has a seat at the table.

‘Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that,’ let us honor the compassion and shared values that define this season as we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday this week. (2/2)

Yesterday, I joined Religious Leaders United for their Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service, which brought together neighbors of all faiths and backgrounds during this season of gratitude. Reflecting on Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s reminder that (1/2)

This is why Illinois is following our public health experts (not the conspiracy theorists now leading the CDC’s website) on keeping you and your family safe. @lschencker @chicagotribune @IDPH @ProtectOurCare

As we head into the holiday season, I encourage everyone to shop local and support these vital businesses, just as my colleagues and I will continue to do through legislation in the upcoming Spring session. (2/2)

In another round of legislative roundtables, I met with my district Chamber of Commerce's to discuss supporting local job growth and removing barriers for businesses in IL. A big thank you to our small businesses for all the work they do to strengthen our communities. (1/2)
