This week’s #OneMinute Video features Senate President @DonHarmonIL. In a minute, he talks about his district, himself and what he’s most proud about in his 21 years as a legislator and three years as president. Spoiler alert: he nails the trivia. youtu.be/hcgorIACcMk

I testified before the Senate Executive Committee with Senate President @DonHarmonIL in support of HB218, which I initiated to clarify that we can hold the firearms industry accountable for unscrupulous practices under the Consumer Fraud Act.

Giffords Law Center released the 2023 gun safety scorecard. While most states received an F rating, Illinois got an A-. From passing the IL assault weapons ban to regulating gun dealers, G-PAC is proud IL leads the country in gun safety laws. Learn more: giffords.org/lawcenter/resou…

GIFFORDS Law Center's Annual Gun Law Scorecard

For 15 years, we’ve ranked and graded state gun laws. We always find that states with strong gun safety laws have fewer gun deaths.

Enough is enough. It is understandable that confidence in the Supreme Court is at an all-time low. But, now, it is time to take action to improve ethical standards and start repairing that trust. npr.org/2023/04/10/116913180…

Democratic leaders recognize the scope of problems in our healthcare system and the need for urgent solutions. Together we are working to create a world in which Black women do not have to fear for their health, their dignity, or their lives before, during, and after pregnancy.

After Texas Ruling, Democratic States Move to Stockpile Abortion Pills (Published 2023)

A federal judge’s decision to invalidate the F.D.A.’s approval of mifepristone could affect availability even in states where abortion is legal.

We are ecstatic Chicago has been chosen to host the #2024DNC! The Midwestern electorate reflects the values and identities of our party and this nation and will be a critical force in re-electing President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Dems up-and-down the ticket in '24.
