While the Supreme Court decision to undo a great deal of the hard-won progress in the Voting Rights Act, which did so much to secure democracy for minority communities, is undoubtedly a setback, my commitment to preserving human rights in our state remains unchanged.

2 of my Bills that I have been working on for 3 years are on their way to the senate.  HB4990 & HB5078, Protecting Survivors of gender-based violence is so important and I encourage you to reach out to your Senators to pass these important bills.

I applaud passage of HB910, legislation that paves the way for transformative megaprojects across Illinois. This bill ensures that when communities make big bets on major investments, taxpayers can count on real accountability and transparency.
