Husband, Father, Entrepreneur at 1871 tech, Founder @thinkbigusa.bsky.social, Governor. Fighting for a stronger, fairer, and safer Illinois.

I got into government because I believe in standing up for the most vulnerable and working families struggling to make ends meet. Right now, the federal government is doing neither.

In Illinois, we won't put our kids' safety in the hands of big tech and its predatory algorithms. That's why I was proud to sign the Children's Online Social Media Safety Act into law to reduce the harmful effects of social media on our kids.

When politicians deliberately put up barriers to the ballot box because they don’t like who might vote, we have an obligation to call it out and fight back. We should all be sounding the alarm.

Donald Trump decided we didn’t have enough money to fund SNAP or Medicaid, but rewarding January 6th insurrectionists is still his priority. A real leader would invest in what defends democracy, not what destroys it.

I've been proud to make historic investments in higher education, and that kind of commitment pays off! This past year, nearly 190,000 students enrolled in our public universities, the highest number in 10 years!

Illinois has always led the way. By making our state a global leader in quantum, we’re turning our world-class talent and research into companies, investment, and good-paying jobs right here at home.

Why should anyone be a Democrat? Raising the minimum wage. Right to organize. Healthcare for all. Thank you for having me on the Lunch with Jamie podcast. Our episode is out now.

We're officially 100 days out from Election Day. We’ve traveled thousands of miles, met people in every corner of Illinois, and had some incredible moments along the way. Here's a look back at some of my favorites.

Gas prices are up. Tariffs are raising grocery costs. People can't afford healthcare ....And measles cases just hit a 35-year high. The bottom line is Donald Trump has been an unmitigated disaster for America.

Donald Trump’s tariffs are hitting Illinois families harder than almost anywhere else in America. A new report found they’re costing the average Illinois household $2,200 while wiping out thousands of manufacturing jobs. Working families deserve better.

Communities shouldn't lose their pharmacies because of greedy insurance middlemen. Here in Illinois, we're taking on predatory pharmacy benefit managers, helping keep local pharmacies open, and lowering prescription drug costs.
