Every child deserves to grow up free from the fear of gun violence, and every family deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. On September 17, I’m proud to join community leaders, advocates, and residents in Auburn Gresham for an important conversation about reimagining public safety and advancing proven solutions that prevent violence, save lives, and strengthen our communities. Building a safer Illinois takes all of us, and I hope you’ll join us.

Proud to stand with working men and women at the Chicago Federation of Labor’s 2026 Labor Day Reception. Organized labor built the middle class, strengthened our communities, and continues to ensure that working families have a voice, dignity, and opportunity. I’ll always stand with Illinois workers and the unions that fight for them.

I appreciated the opportunity to visit Kido, a child care facility in River North, right here in the 5th District, and hear directly from those doing this important work every day.

It was an insightful visit and a productive conversation about the challenges facing child care providers, including persistent staffing shortages, the work we need to continue at the state and government level, and how we can bring down the cost of child care for working families.

Accessible, affordable, and high-quality child care is essential to supporting our children, families, workforce, and economy. I’m grateful for the perspectives shared and look forward to continuing these conversations as we work toward meaningful solutions.

Next week on September 10th, I am proud to celebrate National Teen Voter Registration Day and the Jesse L. Jackson Youth Voter Registration & Empowerment Day! 🗳️ Empowering young people to register, participate, and make their voices heard strengthens our democracy and builds the next generation of civic leaders. HB 4339 is now the law, let’s put it into action!

Arts and culture are more than an expression of who we are. They are a powerful economic engine for Chicago and communities across Illinois.

I’m proud to share my recent Chicago Sun-Times op-ed highlighting new data showing that Chicago’s creative economy supports more than 212,000 jobs and generates nearly $50 billion in economic activity.

As Chair of the House Museums, Arts, Culture and Entertainment Committee, this work is especially important to me. As the mother of a professional musician, I have also seen firsthand the dedication it takes to build a sustainable career in the arts.

Investing in our creative economy means investing in jobs, neighborhoods, tourism, small businesses, and Illinois’ future.
The arts are not a luxury. They are essential economic infrastructure.

71 years ago today, Emmett Till was brutally murdered at just 14 years old. Today, we remember Emmett, honor the courage of Mamie Till-Mobley, and reflect on a tragedy that awakened the conscience of a nation. His life and legacy must never be forgotten.

08/27/2026

Remembering Emmett Till is more than honoring our past, it is a public responsibility. In my latest op-ed in the Chicago Citizen Newspaper, I reflect on the legacy of Emmett Till and Mamie Till Mobley, the importance of establishing July 25 as Emmett Till Day in Illinois, and why confronting our history truthfully is essential to building a more just future.
