Governor JB Pritzker
@GovPritzker
Husband and father. Proudly serving as Illinois’ 43rd governor.
As Governor of Illinois, my oath is to the Constitution of our state and our nation. We don’t have kings in America, and I won’t bend the knee to one.
Proud to report that Illinois is still all in — with my @americaisallin co-chairs, we're stepping in where Trump won't. We’re facing the challenges presented by him and at the same time addressing our most pressing challenges from affordability to climate change.
Did you do well in high school here in Illinois? You're getting into our public universities automatically. We're making it easier to go to college and easier to pay for it now. wglt.org/local-news/202…
Since I signed Rebuild IL into law, our state's infrastructure has been under full-scale revitalization. The results speak for themselves. Together, we're building a new Illinois.
Rebuilding Champaign-Urbana: Five major projects combined represent a total investment of nearly $298.2M, fueled by #RebuildIllinois. Of the projects, one is scheduled to be completed in 2025, with the remaining four wrapping up in 2026. Get the details: prez.ly/u2qd
For 100 years, Union Station has been bringing Chicago to the world and the world right back here. Today’s Centennial Celebration is certainly about its architecture, beauty, and majesty — but most of all, it's a celebration of the most important rail hub in the US.

Thrilled to welcome #AspenIdeasClimate to IL. Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation — our state recognizes our responsibility and opportunity to transform our world for the better. We're building one of the strongest clean energy economies in the nation.
Great news, Illinois. The @ChicagoQuantum led Quantum Connected is in the running for the @NSF Regional Innovation Engines program. Excited to showcase how our state is leading this tech forward and ushering in history-making innovation. bizjournals.com/chicago/inno/s…
Today, I'm proud to welcome Adient to Illinois as they establish a home in Normal to help build our state's growing EV ecosystem. Serving as a Rivian supplier, Adient's more than $8M investment will bring jobs and opportunity to Central Illinois. chicagobusiness.com/manufacturing-…

We're lowering the cost of your prescriptions and protecting Illinoisans at the same time.
Being your governor is an honor, Illinois. It's the stories I hear from people around our state that motivate me to do everything in my power to find ways, whether big or small, to make your lives better.
The Trump administration's decision to end the 988's specialized lifeline is a cruel reversal of proven practices. In Illinois, we stand with our LGBTQ+ community. If you need help and you call 988 here, you'll still be met with compassion and respect. wglt.org/local-news/202…
Illinois has long been a national leader in energy — committed to delivering for our families and businesses. But PJM undermines our efforts and lacks meaningful accountability to the very states it serves. I'm joining a bipartisan group of governors in calling for reform.
Donald Trump is continuing to target our nation’s most vulnerable by restricting access to healthcare coverage. In Illinois, we won’t stand for it. Thank you, @ILAttyGeneral Raoul, for challenging Trump’s unlawful orders that create further barriers to care.
Illinois’ most vulnerable residents would be most impacted by the Trump administration’s rule, which will make it significantly more difficult to obtain health insurance under the ACA. I firmly oppose this arbitrary and illegal rule: tinyurl.com/b6c2rsbr
Illinois' numerous projects, capital investment, and jobs created have earned Cook and Lake Counties positions in the Top 10 Counties Overall according to @SiteSelection Magazine. 🏆 #BeInIllinois bit.ly/4nv7VUO
Welcome back to Illinois. To the 2-106th Cavalry, thank you for your service.
Welcome home to about 155 Soldiers from the Illinois National Guard’s 2-106th Cavalry. They reunited with friends and family in Bloomington after a 10-month deployment to Africa. The Soldiers conducted security ops overseas.
Trump's administration is not only openly flouting the law, but they're also abandoning their responsibility to our students. Today, I'm joining governors across the nation calling upon @EDSecMcMahon to release $6.8B the administration is withholding from schools and students.
I always carry the State of Illinois with me — and I was honored to share a part of that through my challenge coin to Jonathan.
Pharmacy benefit managers have helped drive local pharmacies out of business and increased the costs of your prescriptions. I'm proud to say that's no longer the case here — we’re putting an end to their predatory practices. The nation should follow suit.chicagobusiness.com/health-care/co…
