Illinois Senate Republican Leader John Curran (R-Downers Grove) released the following statement in response to the statement from Gov. Pritzker following the Chicago Bears' announcement they will move forward in Indiana:

[Brenden Moore @brendenmoore13]

Asked by @craigrwall about Republican support for a scaled-back Bears bill, @ILSenateGOP Leader John Curran says “I think that's the only option at this point. This is too late in the session to do a statewide mega projects bill where you don't know what might be going in there.”

I am saddened to hear of the passing of the civil rights, faith, and Illinois leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to fighting for justice and civil rights. I am praying for his family and all who knew him during this time of loss.

Illinois Senate Republicans have introduced a package of legislation aimed at strengthening protections for victims of domestic violence and holding repeat offenders accountable. The proposal comes as domestic violence-related deaths continue to rise across the state.

[Senator John Curran @senjohnfcurran]

This legislative package is just one step towards lowering the domestic violence death rate, empowering and protecting victims and, hopefully, helping to end the cycle of domestic violence that has hurt - and taken - far too many lives.

My statement with @DonHarmonIL condemning violence and calling for peaceful debate:

[Senator John Curran @senjohnfcurran]

The @ILSenateGOP is praying for @charliekirk11 and his family as we wait for more on this heinous shooting. This ignorant intolerance of free speech and opposing viewpoints has no place in an open, just, and free society.

[Senator John Curran @senjohnfcurran]

Thank you to the @ILREALTOR for hosting a ‘Let’s Talk Real Estate’ meeting with some of our local housing business leaders. I look forward to collaborating with them on policies to make Illinois a more affordable place to live, work and raise a family.

I appreciated the chance to talk with @joewalkerWSJ about Illinois for his thoughtful, informative piece on the growing budgetary crisis non-citizen health care is place on states like ours in the @WSJ.
Worth the read.

Progressive governors around the country extended state-funded healthcare to undocumented immigrants. But budget woes are hitting the programs. https://t.co/FFQnUMSSNW

The people of Illinois deserve better.

My condolences are with the loved ones of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark and I am praying for a quick and full recovery for Senator Hoffman and his wife as well as the law enforcement personnel working to apprehend the perpetrator.

[Senator John Curran @senjohnfcurran]

Thank you to all the family, friends and concerned citizens who have checked in on my Illinois Senate Republican Caucus colleagues and I in regards to the assassinations in Minnesota. I am in communication with Gov. Pritzker and ISP to ensure the safety of our elected officials.
