I’m proud of the progress we’ve made with @illinoisedc.bsky.social creating opportunities for communities across the state. When I took office, Illinois ranked 30th in CNBC’s Top States for Business — now we're 12th, our highest ranking ever. Our work's far from finished, with more to come.

Illinoisans have lost access to food assistance because the President wanted to make himself and his friends at Mar-a-Lago even richer. He made families choose between putting food on the table and paying their bills by driving up costs and cutting SNAP.

Talking about my struggles with being overweight still makes me uncomfortable, since weight can carry moral judgment in ways that other health challenges don't. But that fear stops too many struggling from getting treatment that could extend their lives.
