🚨New @LCVoters report shows that Illinois was a national leader in clean energy this year – and that our state’s investments in wind and solar are helping consumers with skyrocketing utility bills. I’ve been proud to partner with @ilenviro to push for this progress.

You have the power! Tell your legislators to co-sponsor and vote "YES" on the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act. They need to know that Illinoisans believe in a strengthened power grid, consumer protections, and climate action.
