Illinois Senate Democrats

Springfield may be out of session, but we are never off the clock. We're back in our districts holding town halls, meeting with constituents, and staying connected to the communities we serve.

Have something on your mind? Reach out to your senator.

We didn't balance the budget on the backs of working families. We made the tough choices to fund what matters — classrooms, health care and a community safety net. We've got your back.

For the 8th year in a row, we passed a balanced budget that funds schools, protects families, and keeps Illinois moving forward. This is what responsible governing looks like.

Somehow, making sure people can afford the basics has become a debate. But for most families, this isn’t theoretical – it’s rent, it’s groceries, it’s whether you can go to the doctor without worrying about the bill.

We’re making sure Illinois families don’t have to argue for what should already be a given.

Kids shouldn't have easy access to ni****ne, period. Morrison's bill keeps vapes and other ni****ne products at least 500 feet away from schools and child care centers, because protecting our kids' health isn't negotiable.

We have just two weeks left in session, and Senate Democrats are focused on delivering for working people – passing an 8th straight balanced budget, pushing back against reckless federal cuts and lowering costs for Illinois families.

While Washington is leaving people behind, we’re getting to work here at home. There's more to do, and we're here to get it done.

This is what peak Illinois looks like. From Chicago to Carbondale, Senate Democrats are proud to represent every community that makes this state special.

Motherhood doesn’t look just one way – it's family, chosen family and the people who step up

We’re celebrating moms across Illinois, including the mothers in our caucus who carry that same care, strength and responsibility into the work they do for communities every day.

Happy Mother's Day!
