It really bothers Republicans that @JBPritzker and Democrats in Illinois have balanced four budgets in a row since Rauner left. #ILGovDebate

This chart really, really bothers Republicans in IL. When Bruce Rauner was in charge of the state budget, accounts payable reached nearly $17 billion + $1 billion in interest on those bills. Under @JBPritzker & Dems, those same accounts payable are now at historic lows.

We're a long way from Bruce Rauner's $17b disaster. State of IL ended fiscal year last Thursday. Latest Accounts Payable report from @ILComptroller shows continued progress as a result of @GovPritzker budgets. Full report from Comptroller Mendoza here: illinoiscomptroller.gov/financial-repo…

Illinois continues to be national leader lead in vaccination roll out— #1 in vaccinations per capita among top 10 most populous states. And #2 in percent of doses delivered that have been administered.

#ILGovDebate reflection: Bailey taking shots at teachers & public education while simultaneously demanding his own private school be shielded from “politics” is stunning. If you don’t support public education, you don’t support kids. And you don’t deserve to be Governor.

An incredible privilege. That's how I described day one 8 yrs ago. As this storied chapter closes, I remain forever grateful to the people of #IL48, friends, family & supporters. We accomplished big things together. Much more to do. Onward! - - T+A+W+B--you made it all possible.

1⃣You spent millions & threw everything at me but the kitchen sink 2⃣I don't dispute your numbers So given that we beat you not once - not twice - but three times in 8 yrs, I'm thinkin' maybe your tweet illustrates more about your own shortcomings than mine.

Not surprised @AndyManar opted for a pay raise from taxpayers (and JB's East Jackson Street LLC?) instead of facing voters again in a district that increasingly opposes his liberal record. Last Nov, here's how his district voted: ✅Trump +18% ✅Fair tax -34% ✅Durbin -12% #twill

That’s 9 upgrades under @GovPritzker’s leadership.

When a top fed govt official refers to all of us as “consumers” at an announcement at the White House of a national emergency declaration due to a global pandemic.

It was 10 yrs ago today—about a month into 1st term in the IL Senate—I cast my vote to make marriage equality the law of the land. Love is love. No government should ever have the power to deny any individual’s ability to love. 🏳️‍🌈

Congrats to Springfield Ald. Doris Turner. A compassionate, accomplished leader who gets things done, she stood w/ me--and the small towns & urban neighborhoods in #IL48--through my 8 yrs. Doris knows the turf. She is my friend. Proudly, now she's my Senator! 📷@justinlfowler

This from today is disgusting. @GovPritzker’s family came to America to avoid the killing of Jews in Eastern Europe. Arbeit macht frei is German for "work sets you free" & is known for appearing at entrance of Nazi concentration camps. Ignorance? Hate? Both? Just disgusting.
