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.
None of this is possible without the dedication of our volunteers. We’re proud to be in this fight with them. 💙 Join us at ildems.com/volunteer 🌊

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.

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."

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.
