It was great to run into Senator Guzman's constituent and my former staff member, Nura, on the blue line on the way back from the rally to fix and fund public transit!
I’m running for re-election to protect our progress and continue solving the problems we face. Let’s keep Illinois moving forward. jbpritzker.com
I spoke with @GOVERNING Magazine about the three year process that lead to the passage of HB3438 in the Senate, a robust package of reforms and funding to make our public transit system safe, reliable, accessible, and integrated. bit.ly/4ehbnOR
As demonstrations continue across Illinois and the nation, it’s important to understand your rights when protesting. @ILAttyGeneral has issued guidance to help ensure public safety while protecting free expression. Read more here: bit.ly/4e5BAQf
Thank you to everyone who came out today for Coffee & Conversation with @senvillivalam. I’m looking forward to answering your questions and telling you about the work I’m doing to fight back against the Trump administration.
Regardless of your immigration status, you have rights. Community organizations listed here have information and resources available. Please reach out to these listed organizations or to our office if you need assistance.
This weekend our West Ridge community was struck by an act of gun violence when a member of our vibrant Orthodox Jewish community was shot while walking to his synagogue. I am devastated this violence took place within our neighborhoods, especially during a religious holiday.
I am encouraged by the group that has been nominated to the @RTA_Chicago Board by @ChicagosMayor. They represent the diversity of perspectives, from business to labor and beyond. go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c29aadb0df…

Good morning! I made the transfer at Clark/Lake to the Green Line on my way to celebrating 90 years of the Metropolitan Planning Council. I had a lot of company as it was great to see folks using public transit to get to their job, school, and much more!
I received a 100% 2024 Scorecard rating from @ilenviro for my voting record on environmental policy. My record demonstrates my commitment to fighting climate change and building a healthier environment for Illinois. #GreenChampion
Join us tomorrow for an important public transit hearing on how transit supports community quality of life, Aug. 9 at 10 a.m. at Naperville City Hall, located at 400 S. Eagle St. Naperville, IL 60540.
Join us for an important public transit hearing on equitable and accessible transit today, July 24 at 10 a.m.!
It was great to be on a packed blue line train this morning on my way to meeting with the Civic Federation to discuss the work we need to do to improve and properly invest in our public transit system!
No one should have to be in a situation in which vital documents such as their birth certificate or driver’s license do not reflect who they are. Read more here: bit.ly/4bzWCo7
#Teamram attended the Skokie Festival of Cultures and the Peterson Elementary walk-a-thon this weekend! It was wonderful to see all the fun and family friendly events we have in our district. Thank you to all the neighbors who came out for a weekend of community fun and support!
Many choose to pursue trade programs after high school, including masonry, carpentry, or plumbing. Making sure that there are options for furthering education is vital for our workers and local economy. Read more here: bit.ly/3V2aX6X
Today we celebrate mothers-figures —the women who raised us and continue to care for us throughout our lives. To all the moms out there, thank you! Rohan, Lokesh, and I are blessed to have my wife, Liz, my mother, and so many mothers in our lives.
Today, the Coalition is in Springfield, IL for PAVE’s Asian American Action Day and @CIOGC's Illinois Muslim Action Day! It’s been beautiful to witness the unity between the Muslim and Asian ally communities as we advocate for fair and inclusive legislation!
