Darren Bailey wants to be governor of Illinois. Let's just say, Darren failed the reference check.
Just ask Darren Bailey's former colleague, Rep. Jim Durkin, who served as House Republican Leader for nearly a decade.
I’m proud to have his endorsement.

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

Kristi Noem must resign.
And if she won’t, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

The President trying to cover up his relationship with a notorious child sex trafficker is one of the biggest scandals in political history

I – like Trump and RFK Jr. – do not have a medical degree.
So, when questions surrounding medical treatments emerge, I listen to people who do.
I get my information from doctors and public health experts – and urge you to do the same.

Illinois is stepping up to protect your health.
@GovPritzker has signed Executive Order 2025-04 to safeguard access to life-saving vaccines this fall. Here’s what it means for you. ⬇️
Special thank you to @ISMSLegislative, @ChicagoTM, @UpwardlyGlobal and everyone else whose work led us to this moment. Licensing IMGs means addressing the healthcare workforce shortage by providing opportunities for professionals to provide care here in IL.
We’ve introduced a new pathway to licensure that will better enable internationally trained physicians to provide their services to the people of Illinois.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

✅ Creating regulatory oversight of digital assets.

Incredibly proud of this achievement, which not only protects Illinois behavioral health patients but also safeguards Illinois therapy jobs. Great work, @RepBobMorgan @NASWIL @kylehillman @senvillivalam #twil

#Illinois Governor Signs HB 1806 Creating Nation's Strongest Safeguard Against AI Chatbots in Mental Health - thank you @GovPritzker @RepBobMorgan @senvillivalam @IDFPR and @ACLUofIL for your assistance in making this critical law happen. #AI is a tool, not a therapist. #Twill

When insurance companies suddenly want to increase customer premiums $750 and blame it on their loss ratio, we simply ask them: prove it.
We are seeking accountability from State Farm and a level playing field.
Illinoisans deserve nothing less. chicagotribune.com/2025/07/3…

330,000 Illinoisans will lose their health care coverage thanks to Donald Trump.
And thousands more will see their premiums go up, all the while hospitals will close.
I'll keep fighting back against this cruelty with everything I've got.
