Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His call for justice and equality continues to guide our work, here in Illinois and across the nation. On this day of remembrance, let's continue the work of building a more just future for all.
We will never forget the first responders in New York and Washington who risked their lives and ran toward danger. We will never forget the heroes of Flight 93 who stood up to hijackers. 24 years later, we still mourn those lost and find strength in all who help others.
There are moments that require absolute moral clarity and principled application of the rule of law. This is that moment, I too dissent.
The Supreme Court’s decision to limit the ability of judges to stop unconstitutional orders will cause irreparable harm.
Please join @bobmorganil.bsky.social, @staterepkatzmuhl.bsky.social and I on Tuesday, July 8th from 6-7:30 PM at the Northbrook Public Library Pollak Room for an end-of-session legislative town hall!

Today, we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his courageous advocacy of equality, fairness, and peace throughout the United States. Dr. King’s fight for justice and the impact that he made on the Civil Rights Movement will never be forgotten.
Our state faces real challenges, stemming in part from unprecedented uncertainty at the federal level. As we navigate those challenges, I will continue to fight for the values and the rights that we as Illinoisans share - no matter what happens in Washington. #twill
I am honored and humbled that the voters of Illinois’ 17th State House District have again and trusted me to represent our community in Springfield.
AI technology has created a host of new opportunities and innovations, but also dangers. That is why I sponsored and worked hard to pass several pieces of legislation that took effect this year including protecting children and workers from exploitation.
