This is what happens when a camel photo bomb gets a little close. There was so much fun to be had at the Naperville 1st annual Halal festival with State Reps Michelle Mussman and @RepKifowit!

It’s petition season time, and I just got my first signature from my favorite voter (my husband 🙃). Only 1,999 more to go.

It's been a long time coming, but Illinois has now earned our NINTH credit rating upgrade. Our state is back in the A's with all three agencies now — a complete turnaround from the past administration's fiscal failures. And it means saving Illinoisans millions of dollars.

I was elected to the Illinois House in 2016 along with Rep. Teresa Mah who made history as the first-ever Asian American legislator in the Illinois General Assembly. #RepresentationMatters and in 2024 I’m thrilled to see the growth of the Asian American Legislative Caucus!

Annual PSA: here we are, three Asian American Illinois House reps—three DIFFERENT people—(L to R) me, Rep Janet Yang Rohr, CFA and Rep Sharon Chung.

Here are the vote results. As my colleague Rep Gregg Johnson helpfully pointed out during debate, if the 118 members of the House were comprised of scientist, that board would have 114 yeas.

House Resolution 727 celebrates these wonderful young women and encourages the entrepreneurial journey for those with developmental disabilities. Thank you, Speaker, for hosting this lovely group in Springfield today. ilga.gov/legislation/Bi…

Thank you to all of my House colleagues for their support in voting for this legislation to protect students from AI-fueled bullying. Now it’s onto the Senate with Senator Adriane Johnson!

Big news for the future of education in IL: HB 4895-requiring climate change education just passed in the IL House & Senate. It heads to the Gov! Thank you to Senator Adriane Johnson, Rep. Janet Yang Rohr, CFA & Kim du Buclet for their work to move this through the General Assembly. #twill

Closed out #SouthAsianHeritageMonth by making over a 170 phone for Saba Haider , and also made friendship bracelets for AAPI 2024 Democratic National Convention Delegates! Thanks to State Rep. Janet Yang Rohr, CFA for joining us, and we are so excited to see our country's #AAPIDems in Chicago next week!

So impressive that Central Times earned press credentials to the 2024 Democratic National Convention!

Thanks Libby Magnone, for spreading the word. Make your voice heard on the Right to Play Act!

Nice work on all of your advocacy, Libby Magnone. Right to Play Act, HB3037, needs everyone’s support. See below to file a witness slip as a proponent and help make this change happen for Illinois student athletes!

Libby provided great testimony today in committee, especially highlighting how this bill supports girls and young women in sports!

Huge thanks to Ram Villivalam, IHSA, the coaches, athletic directors, principals, advocates, and especially the student athletes and families who helped make this happen. These changes will create more opportunities throughout Illinois and are a real win for all.
