Congratulations to @abescarr and @IllinoisPIRG for their well-deserved award from @goodgovillinois for their consumer advocacy and democracy reform efforts! As an Illinoisan who scowls at my utility bills every month, I'm grateful for their tireless work to protect us.

So proud of our role in this!People from all walks of life will be able to have a meaningful impact on their favorite candidate's campaign, and candidates won't have to be wealthy or have deep-pocketed friends to have a shot at winning.
