Had a great time in Evanston. Thanks for having me.
Another great night talking with constituents about our work in Springfield. Thank you @RepKamBuckner for joining us to discuss transit in Illinois! @RobynGabel @SenatorFine
Local 1 VP and Commercial Division Director Robert Pawlaszek joined @AldConway, @RepKamBuckner, and Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller at @BOMAChicago Summer Civic Social. Local 1 members keep Chicago’s downtown clean and safe, and an attractive place to live, work, and play.
Wait until MAGA learns there’s español on their very American passports & their multilingual Founding Fathers wrote parts of the Constitution in another language. ¡Ay caramba! ¿La traición? El shock. La decepción. La ironía.
Thank you @RepMaryMiller for co-sponsoring my English Language Unity Act! We must codify President Trump’s executive order making English the official language of the United States into law!!
1 yr ago, Sonya Massey’s life was taken. Today, we honor her by turning pain into policy. Sen. Doris Turner & I passed SB1953 to reform the broken process that failed her. We listened to her family, stood with them, and carried their call for justice. Rest in power #SonyaMassey

@kambucknerchi this Bill is a Love Letter to Billionaires and a foreclosure notice to the rest of us. #legislativegenocide
“This isn’t a policy disagreement. It’s a deliberate, coordinated attack on working people, on seniors, on people with disabilities, on parents raising children on very tight budgets.” – @DLCC Board Member and IL House Speaker Pro Tempore @RepKamBuckner bit.ly/44t77Hn
Always good to be back in Champaign and even better to have my son on campus. “To thy happy children of the future, those of the past send greetings.” At the feet of Alma, grounded in learning and labor. #IlliniNation

“If you see a wrecking ball swinging towards your community and you choose to stay silent, you are not a bystander. You are a part of the demolition crew.” -- Illinois Rep. Kam Buckner on state Republicans' complicity on the budget reconciliation bill msmagazine.com/2025/06/30/mom…
SCOTUS just told fed judges they can’t protect everyone. So much for co-equal branches. The executive can sign orders for the whole country. Congress can pass laws for the whole country. But now the judiciary can only protect a few plaintiffs at a time. That’s not checks and…

Joined Sen. DeWitte & the legendary Jacky Grimshaw at City Club to talk transit. Hard truths, creative solutions, & unfinished business. Riders don’t care about acronyms; they care about outcomes… in a regional system that works and is funded. We will deliver that.
DLCC Board Member & Illinois House Speaker Pro Tempore @RepKamBuckner is right: State Dems aren’t only working to stop Republicans’ reckless agenda in its tracks, they’re also working to find solutions to the issues that are actually impacting Americans – like health care access.
Rep. Buckner (L) at Tuesday's City Club panel on saving Chicago transit: "People don't care about RTA CTA, MMA or NITA. They care about GTW, get to work, GTS, get to school and it's our job, frankly, to GSD, which is get stuff done. If we can't, then WTF?" chi.streetsblog.org/2025/06/17/key…
The attacks in Minnesota are horrifying. Speaker Emerita Hortman and her husband were killed in their home. Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also shot. This kind of political violence shakes the foundation of our democracy. I was fortunate to know Melissa; to witness her…
Congrats to @MikieSherrill. In Nov. voters will choose between a leader who stands up to the oligarch-first agenda or a rubber stamp for chaos. NJ families need a leader who’ll fight for them; not someone pushing higher costs & billionaire tax breaks. The choice is clear.
Let’s get @MikieSherrill elected!
Officer Krystal Rivera is a hero and all she wanted was to protect her city & make it home safe after her shift. She gave her life doing what she swore to do. This is one of those moments where politicians should talk less; we should just listen, mourn & stand with those who…
Kicked off Blues Fest right w/soul, & a lot of love for Chicago. Grateful for the incredible crowd & the leaders who showed up & my friends @Giannoulias & @JulianaStratton for hosting. Smiley Tillmon brought the sound & the city where the blues found its voice brought the vibe.
