I was born and raised by a single mother who taught me the values of hard work and standing up for what’s right. After being elected as a State Representative, I fought for a fairer and more equitable Illinois by standing up for a woman’s right to choose, opposing right to work laws and fighting for a new education funding system to ensure every child has access to quality schools.

In 2019, I was proud to join JB’s administration as a Deputy Governor to put Illinois back on the side of working families. I led the efforts to make Illinois a national leader in clean energy, ban assault weapons and create and support thousands of jobs by rebuilding our roads, bridges and schools.

Since I first met MK more than 30 years ago, she has been my partner in everything, and I’m so happy that the love of my life is helping to make our state a better place to raise a family. We’re very proud of our two children, and we’re reminded every day that the work we do right now is about making a better life for generations to come.
