POLITICAL THEATER
Earlier this week, House Democrats wasted taxpayer time and resources to endorse a vendetta agenda against President Trump. We could not stand by while Democrats put on a political show, so we walked out. The people of Illinois didn’t send us here to grandstand, House Republicans are here to work on the pressing issues facing our residents like high taxes and public safety.

FISCAL OUTLOOK
A new report from CGFA shows how Illinois stacks up against other states in terms of taxes, spending, and other metrics. We know that we can do better to make our state more affordable for families and job creators while protecting our most vulnerable residents. House Republicans continue to fight for fiscal responsibility in Illinois so we can once again become a destination for growth.
IMMIGRATION
When we roll out the benefits for those here illegally, it comes at a cost to Illinois taxpayers. Instead of providing health care, driver’s licenses and other services to illegal immigrants, we should be focused on supporting Illinois citizens.
