NEXT WEEK: @RepKellyCassidy and I join @ILCleanJobs for a Data Center Town Hall.
There may be no more relevant and controversial issue right now than data centers, and my colleagues and I are taking the many concerns expressed by those affected by their development seriously. The POWER Act, which I support, will strongly regulate data centers and maximize the role of community input in any development process. We are looking forward to engaging with both industry experts and our neighbors on this important topic.
Hope to see you there at Center on Halsted! RSVP Here: bit.ly/LetsTalkDataCenters

Illinois is drawing a hard line when it comes to medical data. @RepKellyCassidy passed legislation preventing the Prescription Monitoring Program from tracking hormone therapy and medication abortion, reinforcing Illinois commitment to patient privacy and accessible healthcare.

@RepKellyCassidy alongside Illinois House Democrats passed legislation creating the Court Reminder Program, requiring defendants to receive notices by text message on upcoming court hearings, helping to reduce late appearances and additional penalties.
For the last 3ish years, we’ve been working to address the harms of the old system that protected abusive medical professionals. Proud to have helped bring about meaningful change on behalf of survivors. Thanks to @JBPritzker & @SenatorCelina for your steadfast partnership!

This is what MAGA believes the “GA” part of the acronym symbolizes.
It is NOT what our Nation is about.
It is NOT what Chicago is or will ever be about.
Hate has no home here, and racist, bigoted attacks like this aren’t ones we stay silent about.
A burning cross was found in Grant Park on Tuesday, city officials confirmed.
