A historic win for Illinois! @GovPritzker signed the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act yesterday, reinforcing our state's clean energy leadership. Hear from Gov. Pritzker, Sarah (@cubillinois), and Kavi (@votesolar) on how this law will save money through clean energy.
"Our testing also made clear that healthier homes are possible when households have access to efficient electric appliances that reduce the indoor air pollution risks of burning gas at home." bit.ly/4yG6Dvw
“Jenks said wind and solar are essential for affordable electricity, and he wants the federal government to partner with states to develop the energy they need.” bit.ly/4jRA2hF
Thank you to Alderwoman Hadden, State Senator Guzman, and all of the 38 elected officials who spoke out against the latest Peoples Gas rate hike at last week's press conference. Regulators must rein in this company and slash its unreasonable rate hike.

Proud to serve as Co-Chair of America Is All In at #ClimateWeekNYC.
Illinois understands that affordability, reliability, and clean energy go hand in hand.
Unlike the President, this coalition of governors, mayors, and more knows we must act now to address climate change.

The Northern Illinois Transit Authority is a game-changer.
An effective transit system that has expanded service and safety measures while bringing more riders than ever on board, thanks to a new region-wide, low-income reduced-fare program.

Thank you to everyone who joined me, @RepKellyCassidy and @ILCleanJobs at last night’s Data Center Town Hall.
We are more energized than ever to fight for our communities on this incredibly important issue and pass the POWER Act, making Illinois a national leader in data center regulation.
“Since adoption of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, Illinois has been a national leader in addressing carbon emissions, particularly from the energy and transportation sectors.” #CEJAworks bit.ly/4iJxMsl

We delivered over 650 comment cards from residents across the state urging the Illinois Commerce Commission to prioritize cleaner air and more affordable energy.
CEJA was signed into law five years ago today! Since then, solar energy has skyrocketed, 3,220+ Illinoisans completed CEJA’s pre-apprenticeship programs, 14 workforce training hubs opened, and $120+ million has been invested in communities impacted by coal closures. #CEJAworks

Today, members of @ILCleanJobs delivered 600+ comments to ICC Chair Doug Scott urging that the final Future of Gas report prioritize an equitable transition to cleaner, more affordable heat. Thanks to Chair Scott & thanks to @IllinoisPIRG @GreenLatinos @SierraClubIL @faithinplace
The Lake County Board unanimously approved a temporary data center moratorium today! This highlights the need to pass the POWER Act and enact the strongest statewide regulations in the nation.
"The solar array on Zion United Church of Christ’s carport has saved thousands of dollars, which the church spends on its food pantry, providing hundreds of meals every Sunday and hundreds of bags of food each week." bit.ly/4hbKC1i
"There is no catch. It’s just an opportunity,” Hill said. “Having a well-established name [with the Obama Presidential Center] will hopefully help people understand that community solar is a real program that will provide savings." bit.ly/4r1Nste
The job's not done yet, so we're heading back to Springfield!
The POWER Act will establish nation-leading data center guardrails to protect our water, energy, and ratepayers. Join us at the Capitol on Nov 18: bit.ly/vetolobbyday
Nicor wants *another* rate hike! The Illinois Commerce Commission wants to know what you think. Join us on September 15 for a public forum at Lake Park High School in Roselle to tell regulators to oppose the latest rate hike from Nicor: bit.ly/sep15icc

Illinois is one of the few US states that has faced the transit funding crisis and found the courage to address it. The new Chicago-area regional agency will ensure that transit investments are optimized for the whole region. A great day.
A new era for Chicagoland transit. 🚇✨
Beginning today, NITA is officially your regional transit agency, coordinating affordable, reliable, safe transit across the CTA, Metra, and Pace. nita.illinois.gov/about-rta/…

Last year, our state’s transit faced a doomsday scenario: service cuts and fare hikes that would have left riders stranded.
Today, we’re launching the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA) to deliver a reliable, safe, and unified public transportation system for the region.

I'm looking forward to joining @RepKellyCassidy and @ILCleanJobs for a data center-focused town hall on September 22nd.
We will discuss the need for data centers to pay their fair share, and explain the importance of passing the POWER Act to effectively regulate these new projects.
