Official account of Illinois’ 48th Lt. Governor. Advancing justice and uplifting women + girls across Illinois. Our only way forward is together. she/her.
While President Trump continues to abuse power and ignore the Constitution, @GovPritzker and I will continue to uphold the Constitution, due process and keeping our citizens safe.
BREAKING: Illinois just beat the Trump Administration in federal court. Their case challenging the bipartisan TRUST Act was dismissed — unlike the President, we follow the law and listen to the courts.
Illinois colleges and universities will be more accessible and affordable for our high school grads! wglt.org/local-news/202…
Reminder: Illinois is the first state to require doctors to screen for Alzheimer’s and other dementia related illnesses starting at the age of 26. We’re looking out for patients and their caretakers.
On this 35th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the work to protect the rights and opportunities of all people with disabilities continues. It’s why the Dignity in Pay Act is now the law in Illinois, ending subminimum wages for workers with disabilities! #ADA35
Former Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White embodies what it means to be a public servant—his dedication to the people of Illinois is an inspiration. The new Jesse White State of Illinois Building will be a lasting reminder of this commitment. Congratulations, Mr. Secretary!
It’s World IVF Day and the advances we have made in safe, effective reproductive healthcare deserve to be celebrated. In Illinois, your right to choose when, where, and how you create a family is a nonnegotiable—we will remain a safe haven.
Trump’s SNAP cuts are going to be devastating to our communities—hear more about what this means from Kim Holmes with the @ILfoodbank.
Happy International Self Care Day! ✨ Take a moment to slow down, breathe, and do something just for you—you deserve it!
We’re 14 days away from the @ILStateFair! Be sure to swing by our tent—we’ve got lots to share! What are you most excited for this year?
It’s always a great time to support a veteran-owned small business! 🇺🇸 Quintin McNair of @TheRealSBBakery bravely served our country for 24 years. Upon struggling with PTSD and depression, he says “baking became my therapy.” Now he’s bringing joy and sweet treats to so many!
Trump keeps breaking promises. He said his tariffs would lower costs—but Americans are paying price. Illinoisans, know that @GovPritzker and I are fighting back: cutting the grocery tax, lowering prescription prices, and making college more affordable and accessible.
Americans largely are paying for Trump’s tariffs, not foreign companies trib.al/DRBBgT0
You can't be what you can't see! Through our Girls Lead program, Chelsea joined @SenDorisTurner's office and got a front-row seat to the hard work that makes Illinois the best place to call home—from agriculture to education and more!
DYK the home of Superman is right here in Illinois? While the man of steel himself is still in the box office, we’re celebrating our super towns across the state. Shout out to Metropolis, IL!
Proud of the trailblazing women who call Illinois home! Congrats to the recipients of @Chi_Innovation's Women in Innovation Awards. Thanks for the doors you open, the seats at the table you create, and the work you do to make a brighter future for us all. 📸: Chicago Innovation
Take care of yourself this week, Illinois. Remember, help is available at keepcool.illinois.gov
It'll be dangerously hot and humid this week, especially Wednesday. Take steps to stay cool: stay inside as much as possible, keep curtains and shades drawn, take cool showers, visit a cooling center if you're uncomfortable at home. keepcool.illinois.gov #ILWx
Areas harmed by violence, excessive incarceration, and economic disinvestment need support—that’s where our Restore, Reinvest, Renew (R3) program comes in. Cohort 2 grantee @HASChicago is investing in their community through multicultural and bilingual mental health care.
Under the big ugly bill, farmers won't be able to partner with markets and empower SNAP recipients to buy nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables. This law hurts Illinoisans every step of the way, from farm to dinner table.
Self care isn’t selfish. Prioritizing caring for your mind, body and spirit is a necessary form of self love. I hope you find time to do so today. #SelfCareSunday
Everyone deserves to be safe, no matter their zip code. I had a great time at the Back of the Yards Coffeehouse supporting Increase the Peace, which seeks to tackle the root causes of violence. (Bonus, celebrating Founding Executive Director Berto Aguayo’s birthday!)
So many small businesses across our state thrive because of the strength of our agricultural community. Nowhere is that clearer than a weekend farmers market! #AgConnectsUsAll
