Five years ago, CEJA set the standard for building a clean energy future that creates jobs, strengthens communities, and puts consumers first. I was proud to be at Climate Week NYC to showcase our continued progress from solar to wind to our nation-leading nuclear fleet.

Real public safety means real second chances. The @thisisUIC and @ENDPPIL forum on ending permanent punishments dug into the changes that make both possible. Thank you to JEO Director Yaacov Delaney and the legislators and panelists for sharing their insights!

When experts and industry leaders sound the alarm bell, we should listen. I'm establishing the Illinois AI Cabinet to assess the risks AI poses to Illinoisans' safety, identify safeguards, and determine how we respond. We're not waiting for Congress or this White House to act.
Governor JB Pritzker today signed Executive Order 2026-07 establishing the Illinois Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cabinet, a group of individuals from across industries and fields that will assess the various risks posed by AI to the safety of Illinoisans.

This World Alzheimer's Day, I'm proud Illinois is leading the way in Alzheimer's and Dementia related care—both for patients and their caregivers.
Illinois is leading the fight against Alzheimer's - first state to require Alzheimer's training for primary care providers so more patients are diagnosed earlier - First state to mandate insurance coverage for Alzheimer's medication without step therapy so patients get treatment sooner - Designated AARP Age-Friendly State
