Pritzker Releases 200-Point National Agenda Day After Winning a 3rd Term
The 75-page plan calls for higher wages, restored safety-net cuts and immigration changes as Democrats prepare for the next Congress.
- On Wednesday, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker published a 75-page roadmap titled "Fighting for Illinois: The Day One Agenda," outlining over 200 policy proposals for the new Congress to reverse President Donald Trump's agenda.
- Pritzker spent months directing state agencies to analyze Trump administration funding cuts and programmatic changes affecting Illinois residents, aiming to identify immediate actions for the 120th Congress to reverse the damage.
- Specific recommendations include repealing Medicaid and SNAP cuts from the "Big Beautiful Bill," raising the federal minimum wage above $7.25, and establishing a "comprehensive digital protection framework" for artificial intelligence guardrails.
- U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth and Senator-elect Juliana Stratton pledged support at a Wednesday news conference, with Duckworth promising to back Pritzker "110%" should he pursue a 2028 presidential bid.
- While President Trump remains in office for two more years, Democrats intend to force votes on these measures, challenging him to veto legislation directly addressing everyday family needs.
