Everyone should take a moment to read @JulianaStratton 's impactful op-ed. Juliana is right: No family should be forced to grieve a preventable death as they celebrate the birth of a new life. This is why we need to pass the Birth Equity Initiative.

Investing in Black maternal health is the right move for Illinois

From 2018 to 2020, Black women in Illinois were three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related medical conditions than white women. This initiative aims to make improvements.

A reminder that I proclaimed April as Fair Housing Month in Illinois. My budget proposes an additional $50 million to address and tackle the root causes of housing insecurity. Everyone deserves a safe and stable place to call home.

In my effort to put money back into hardworking Illinoisans' pockets, I’m pushing to eliminate the grocery tax in our state. We’re working towards a fairer economy for ALL Illinoisans.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker: Get rid of the grocery tax. Period.

What grocery tax cut opponents aren’t telling you is that local governments in Illinois have seen a dramatic increase in funding from state government.
