Historic inequities in public university funding have created access, retention and completion gaps— esp. for students of color, #firstgen and rural students. SB13/HB1581 is the future of fair, just, and sustainable public #highered in IL @HouseDemsIL @ILSenateGOP

Our Illinois House Black Caucus is built by Black history; our country, our state, and our communities are built by Black history. Let’s work together to write the next chapter.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Put your feet in the right place, and then stand firm!” It is truly an honor and a privilege to stand firmly with House Democrats on the side of every Illinoisan. We are here, united, for you Illinois. We are your voice, and we are not afraid to fight for you.

ADM has two monitoring wells, and they are both leaking. Just weeks after ADM was cited for violating the Safe Drinking Water Act for a leak in one of their monitoring wells, the company announced a pause on carbon injections due to a leak in their second monitoring well.

Thanks @StateRepAmmons for your efforts to fill every classroom in Illinois with a fully-certified teacher. The passage of #HR0062 will take us a step further in addressing the teacher shortage by creating a path to help recruit and support aspiring teachers into the profession.

Homelessness is not an identity, it's a set of circumstances.

After law school, I worked in the IL State Senate. My first assignment? The Equal Rights Amendment. That was almost 50 yrs ago.
They say to be a legislator, you must be patient. But this is ridiculous. It’s past time: let’s get rid of the arbitrary deadline & ratify the ERA now.

House Republicans have no business putting the fair faith and credit of the United States or the retirement security of American seniors at risk.
Democrats will always protect Social Security and Medicare from Republican sabotage. -NP

Not only did Darren Bailey say he would “roll the red carpet out” for Trump, he CONTINUES to spread the Big Lie and campaign with insurrectionists.
His anti-democracy agenda is too dangerous for Illinois, and voters will reject his extremism at the ballot box. #ILGovDebate

Today, my Administration is meeting my campaign commitment with targeted debt relief to folks from families who need it most.
If you received a Pell Grant while in college and make less than $125,000 a year, you are eligible for up to $20,000 in debt reduction.
