I was heartbroken to learn of the murder of Hersh Goldberg-Polin. The courage of his parents, Jon and Rachel, has been a symbol of strength for the families of the hostages during the unthinkable. My prayers are with them today as they mourn. May his memory be a blessing.

Happy Labor Day, Illinois. We have a proud history of standing up for our workers in our state — including the very strike that led to the creation of this day! Whether it's fair wages, safer workplaces, or paid time off, we'll never stop standing up for working families.

When I came into office, I didn't want Illinois just to catch up — I wanted us to get ahead and set the standard. As we advance toward our goal of 100% clean energy by 2050, we need innovation like ComEd electrifying Skokie's fleet and leading the way toward a brighter future.

After more than a decade of neglect, Rebuild Illinois is making history as we modernize our infrastructure and create opportunities for Illinoisans. From our bridges to airports to schools, we’re literally building a better future across our state.

Here in Illinois, we're building a clean energy future where everyone can thrive.   Thanks to our CEJA and Equitable Energy Future Grant Program, we're leaning into that future by training a diverse and skilled workforce that will power our growing clean energy ecosystem.

Getting a quality education shouldn’t mean taking on a lifetime of debt. Since I became Governor, more students than ever have been able to receive a MAP grant thanks to our work to make college more affordable and accessible than before.

Illinois has emerged as a beacon of progress for early childhood development under my administration. We've created nearly 6,000 new preschool spots, expanded home visiting, increased access to childcare centers, and established the Dept. of Early Childhood.

“I want to push this record so far out there that nobody can ever touch it.” And Noelle did just that today with a gold medal win for Team USA. You've made Illinois proud.

What a fantastic day 1! From the Caucus Caucus Preconference to the ELN Mayors Preconference to the opening session of #ECLS24, yesterday was packed full of critical #earlychildhood discussions. Stay tuned as we dive into the Summit today for day 2!

Success in the pursuit of excellence in early childhood will define our future. As I shared with the The Hunt Institute, our investment in Illinois is an expression of our values. It’s about building communities where every child can succeed, no matter their zip code.

When I say Illinois is the #MiddleofEverything, I mean it. From Chicago to Carbondale, folks are coming to see what we have to offer. We’re the Heart of the Midwest for a reason. kfvs12.com/2024/08/19/tou…

When I set out to shape and modernize Illinois' gaming law back in 2019, my focus was on maximizing economic opportunity. The opening of the Hard Rock Casino in Rockford is the embodiment of that vision, which is already paying dividends for the region. rrstar.com/story/news/loc…

Leading the Midwest in workforce development for the second year in a row, Illinois is proving that investing in our greatest asset — our people — pays off.
