Happy #Halloween!

Shady special interests groups are lying in an attempt block tax relief for middle-class families. Here’s the truth: A Fair Tax requires millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share and gives tax relief to 97% of Illinois taxpayers. #FairTaxNow

[State Representative Jawaharial Omar Williams @staterepjw]

Special interests backed by the ultra-wealthy will say anything to prevent millionaires and billionaires from paying their fair share. The fact is, a Fair Tax will provide tax relief to the middle class, provide more funding for local schools and pay down Bruce Rauner’s old bills

[State Representative Jawaharial Omar Williams @staterepjw]

Even independent tax groups agree: A Fair Tax cuts taxes for the middle class and makes the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share.

Women have historically been paid less than men for the same work. I voted to stop a discriminatory practice that for too long has locked women into a lifetime of unequal pay.

Our economy is becoming increasingly driven by tech companies. Working across the aisle, I passed the Data Center Innovation Act, which will create new tech jobs and keep our state on the cutting edge of the tech industry.

Under a Fair Tax, 97% of Illinoisans will receive tax relief. #FairTaxFacts

Each year our crumbling roads cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Instead of wasting this money, we should be investing in creating hundreds of thousands of jobs rebuilding our roads and bridges. #RebuildIL

Under a Fair Tax, Illinois would join over 30 other states, including neighboring Wisconsin and Missouri, in asking the wealthy to pay their fair share. #FairTaxFacts

Our bipartisan Infrastructure Investment Bill builds a bridge to a brighter future for Illinois through the creation of 500,000 good-paying jobs. #RebuildIL

[State Representative Jawaharial Omar Williams @staterepjw]

Illinois’ current broken tax system gives the 1% a special deal, while working families pay twice as much of their income in taxes. A Fair Tax closes that gap and requires the wealthy to pay their fair share. #FairTaxFacts

[State Representative Jawaharial Omar Williams @staterepjw]

Equal work deserves equal pay, which is why I voted for legislation that takes an important step in making sure women and men are paid equally.

[State Representative Jawaharial Omar Williams @staterepjw]

I voted to make Illinois a leader in tech jobs by passing new innovative tax incentives that will attract tech companies to relocate to Illinois.

Perpetrators of human trafficking shouldn’t escape justice because of a loophole in the law. I backed major reforms extending the statute of limitations for human trafficking cases, ensuring survivors have the time they need to come forward and traffickers are brought to justice.

This #HispanicHeritageMonth, I am proud to highlight my colleagues who help represent the rich diversity of the House Democratic Caucus.

Early detection is critical to saving lives. This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, make sure you or your loved ones know screening guidelines and are getting mammograms.

Illinois is a national data hub leader thanks to the Data Center Innovation Act. This measure will help attract business and create new jobs in a thriving industry.

[State Representative Jawaharial Omar Williams @staterepjw]

To help grow Illinois’ economy, I backed the Blue Collar Jobs Act. We need to invest in businesses that invest in Illinois workers.

Domestic violence affects more than 12 million people in the United States every year. Survivors deserve our support, and they deserve to be heard. Retweet to show your support! #SeeDV #DomesticViolenceAwareness

[State Representative Jawaharial Omar Williams @staterepjw]

Survivors of human trafficking deserve justice. I backed major reforms that crack down on exploitation of women and children and give law enforcement additional tools to disrupt trafficking rings.
