State Representative Patrick Sheehan is calling for reforms to Illinois’ electronic monitoring and pretrial release system after a man accused of carrying eight Molotov cocktails in Mokena was released on an ankle monitor.
Sheehan is co-sponsoring several bills aimed at strengthening the system:
✅ HB 1482 would expand the offenses eligible for pretrial detention.
✅ HB 4125 removes 2-days of free movement for those on electronic monitoring.
✅ HB 4186 would require immediate notification to law enforcement and prosecutors when someone violates conditions of their electronic monitoring.
✅ HB 5757 would require pretrial release to be revoked when a person commits a felony while on electronic monitoring.

State Rep. Murri Briel has stepped down from Speaker Chris Welch’s Workplace Culture and Accountability Working Group amid her ongoing controversy.
What was supposed to address workplace culture in the House has instead become a political stunt resulting in only bad press. Rather than demanding accountability, Speaker Welch seems more focused on managing the fallout from scandal after scandal.

Virginia voters just opened the door for Democrats to redraw maps for partisan advantage, and Illinois Democrats are following the same playbook with HJRCA 28 to cement their grip on power. This is not about protecting voters. It is about protecting political power.

Illinois Democrats pushed through a transit bailout but chose to spend the money on “transit ambassadors” instead of strengthening real police presence on buses and trains. And thanks to the SAFE-T Act allowing dangerous criminals to roam our streets, riders are less safe. #twill

If you want to see what continuing to vote for Democrat has done to Illinois—look no further than Lawndale residents comparing their tax hikes around open flames.
You don’t fix Illinois by electing more Democrats.

.@GovPritzker is accusing Republicans of not denouncing political violence, while he’s the one who’s repeatedly used inflammatory rhetoric.

NBC: Every group that grades the fairness of congressional maps gives Illinois an F and says it's a "perfect model of everything that can go wrong with redistricting." Aren't you a big hypocrite?
PRITZKER: "Democracy is at stake!"
...and we still do not have ethics reform! Illinois taxpayers deserve better!

Gov. Pritzker claims Democrats want to cut taxes for everyday people.
In Illinois, just where are the tax cuts he's talking about? Via @Wirepoints.

We kicked it off with GOP House Leader @TonyMccombie, which is always both productive and lots of fun. She has visited our neighborhoods and understands our priorities.
