#Democracy
Our democracy is a living organism; we, the people, are its soul. In this context, the worth of that democratic soul is revealed in how it cares for the least among us. How might yours help shape that care?

#MAGA is not Christian. America is not a Christian nation. There is no such thing in the Bible.
A movement founded on FEAR is not Christian.
Fact: Grace dissolves fear!
Christian discipleship is founded on spreading the good NEWS of Salvation through believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior!

In March, I visited the Spokane Veterans Home and committed to fighting for a facility that matches veterans' contributions to our state and country.
We will need significant federal funding. However, in my budget, I'm proposing $11 million for design and preconstruction.

Here in Illinois, we’re lowering costs, increasing transparency, and cutting the red tape — all to make our state the best in the nation to live, work, and raise a family.
Hundreds of new laws take effect in Illinois in 2026
Some of the new laws include the end of the statewide grocery tax, seniors not needing to take a driving test until they're 87 and more.

Illinois has accomplished big things for its people.
We’ve lowered prescription drug costs, achieved the highest recorded high school graduation rate in years, signed landmark transit reform, and balanced budgets.
I look forward to getting even more done in the new year.

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.

If Trump and the DOJ have nothing to hide, then why haven’t they released all the files?

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.
