Official BlueSky account for Illinois State Representative Bob Morgan (58th district).
Joining the Council of State Governments, I spoke on a panel yesterday about reshaping how we structure corporate tax incentive programs. Too often, states find themselves in a race to the bottom, competing over who can pay more to bring the most jobs to their state. (1/3)

Constituent services will continue to be a priority of mine, especially as the REAL ID deadline approaches for travelers. Starting February 1st, TSA will begin charging fees for travelers who do not present proper IDs, so I was glad to host a mobile DMV (1/2)

Illinois will not flinch, nor will we falter, when confronted with attacks on our healthcare system by figures like RFK Jr. Today, alongside @GovPritzker, my bill HB767 was signed into law: a first-in-the-nation measure establishing a state-based vaccine-recommending body.

This Thanksgiving, our community is coming together to ensure no one spends the holiday alone and everyone has a seat at the table.

You might think being a State Rep requires a lot of work, but it pales in comparison to running a middle school! That’s why I joined Principal Kaplan at Northwood Middle School to serve as “Principal for a Day" to learn more about what it takes to keep our schools moving! (1/4)

It was a privilege to join the Highland Park community in honoring the heroes among us, those who have served and continue to serve our nation with courage and conviction. Veterans remind us that being American is not about uniformity of thought... (1/2)

I met with Dr. Lee Francis, CEO of Erie Family Health Centers to discuss the critical role community health centers play in keeping care accessible for all. Nearly 1 in 9 Illinoisans rely on these centers as their PCP, making it essential that we continue meeting patients where they are. (1/2)

I had the opportunity to speak on two panels this week, exploring how policy and innovation are shaping the future of healthcare, and how Illinois is working to address the impacts of Trump’s “Big Ugly” law and its implications for the Affordable Care Act. (1/4)

Last week, I proudly voted for the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act, a major step toward lowering energy costs, strengthening our power grid, and expanding clean-energy jobs. While DC backpedals on climate, our state is moving forward with nation-leading action. (1/2)

Illinois is stepping up where Washington has failed to act. After Secretary Kennedy dismantled the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, I passed HB767, making Illinois the first state to create its own state-based vaccine-recommending body grounded in science, not politics.
October 31, 2025 at 12:57 PM
Yesterday, I passed HB767 out of the House, ensuring that life saving vaccines are accessible to all, and are covered by insurance without copays or deductibles, regardless of any decisions made in Washington. (1/3)

As the federal government enters its 28th day of shutdown, risking SNAP benefits for hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans and leaving federal workers without another paycheck, Illinois continues on its path of fiscal stability. (1/2)

The 58th District has the longest stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline in the entire state, and with that comes a responsibility to ensure our lakefront is protected from erosion and the effects of climate change. I joined Ryan from Lake Forest Open Lands Association for a (1/2)

As a legislator, there’s no substitute for hearing directly from those on the frontlines serving our community. Today’s roundtable with senior service providers and early childhood centers from my district was a powerful reminder of what’s at stake. (1/2)

Yesterday, my intern, Emília, visited me in Springfield to learn more about veto session and all the action that happens during this short, but busy time! Watch to see what she was part of throughout the day, and how you can stay engaged this fall.
