Happy Birthday to one of my favorite Chicagoans and history-maker President @barackobama.bsky.social !   From signing the Civil Rights History Project Act pictured here, to rescuing our economy from the Great Recession, President Obama showed us the true meaning of hope through action.

Today, we’re putting the public interest over special interests in Illinois. We aim to bring down costs for families, keep corporations accountable, and instill confidence in consumers who’ve been asked to shoulder a financial weight unreasonably imposed upon them.

CBS News Chicago Article Headlined: Gov JB Pritzker signs bills protecting consumers from unfair home and auto insurance premiums and rate hikes.

🎉It’s official: Since the launch of our coordinated campaign Organize Illinois 2026 in June, we’ve knocked over 100,000 doors! With over 100 youth fellows, 20 field offices across the state, and over 600 community events hosted, we’re building the movement that will win in November.

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.

Families shouldn’t have to deprive their kids of the necessities for the school year due to rising costs. We listened to parents — and the state is stepping up. Starting Friday for ten days, shoppers will pay zero state sales tax on essentials like clothing and school supplies.

USPS is supposed to deliver ballots—not decide who gets to vote. That's why I called on the Postal Service Board of Governors to remove Postmaster General David Steiner and demanded answers about USPS's apparent effort to implement President Trump's election mail voter suppression efforts.

U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) says the Trump administration's cuts to renewable energy are directly helping Iran. Saying there's now widespread "chaos," he calls for an end to the fighting. "There is no military resolution to this whatsoever."

We’re easing financial burdens so families can get ahead of rising prices. We've eliminated medical debt and the grocery tax, lowered premiums on auto and homeowners insurance, and banned junk fees. And our work continues today by providing a back-to-school sales tax holiday.

Fox 32 Article Headline: Gov. Pritzker promotes Illinois' back-to-school tax holiday.

When an international student in Burr Ridge experienced delays with a re-entry permit, my office worked with USCIS to help move the case forward. My casework team advocated on the constituent's behalf and the permit was approved, ensuring the student can continue their studies.

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.
