Shady special interests groups are lying in an attempt block tax relief for middle-class families. Here’s the truth: A Fair Tax requires millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share and gives tax relief to 97% of Illinois taxpayers. #FairTaxNow
Special interests backed by the ultra-wealthy will say anything to prevent millionaires and billionaires from paying their fair share. The fact is, a Fair Tax will provide tax relief to the middle class, provide more funding for local schools and pay down Bruce Rauner’s old bills
Women have historically been paid less than men for the same work. I voted to stop a discriminatory practice that for too long has locked women into a lifetime of unequal pay.

Each year our crumbling roads cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Instead of wasting this money, we should be investing in creating hundreds of thousands of jobs rebuilding our roads and bridges. #RebuildIL
Under a Fair Tax, Illinois would join over 30 other states, including neighboring Wisconsin and Missouri, in asking the wealthy to pay their fair share. #FairTaxFacts

Early detection is critical to saving lives. This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, make sure you or your loved ones know screening guidelines and are getting mammograms.
Illinois is a national data hub leader thanks to the Data Center Innovation Act. This measure will help attract business and create new jobs in a thriving industry.
Domestic violence affects more than 12 million people in the United States every year. Survivors deserve our support, and they deserve to be heard. Retweet to show your support! #SeeDV#DomesticViolenceAwareness
Survivors of human trafficking deserve justice. I backed major reforms that crack down on exploitation of women and children and give law enforcement additional tools to disrupt trafficking rings.
