The Heritage Foundation recently updated its Election Integrity Scorecard, and Illinois did poorly: It ranked 42nd with a score of 38 out of 100. Tennessee and Arkansas topped the list, followed by Alabama at 83, Louisiana at 81, and Florida at 78. Hawaii finished last with a score of 22, while California scored 26.
Heritage says its September update gave additional weight to proof-of-citizenship measures and state bans on foreign funding of ballot measures.… Continue Reading

Governor JB Pritzker is currently “tackling” the housing shortage in Illinois by proposing the BUILD Act. It is basically a state takeover of local housing regulations in order to do what “the state thinks best.”
The Senate Democrats have problems with this proposal – it didn’t go far enough. Sigh. They introduced a package of proposals that made the BUILD Act seem sunny by comparison. All well-meaning, mind you, but seriously doubling down on the state overriding local housing regulations.… Continue Reading

In this episode of Illinois Family Spotlight, we talk with former Illinois State Representative Tom Morrison, now Vice President of Recruitment and Training for the Big Tent Coalition, about why local and state elections matter and what it takes to run an effective campaign.
Morrison explains that while presidential and congressional races receive most of the attention, local officials make consequential decisions involving property taxes, schools, zoning, utilities, roads, and other issues that directly affect families and communities.… Continue Reading

Illinois has a housing shortage. Which may sound odd since hundreds of thousands of people have left and continue to leave Illinois for other states. But it makes sense when you consider we have fewer carpenters, builders, electricians, etc. to build homes. Only in Illinois.
Anyway, Governor J.B. Pritzker has a solution. Keep in mind this is a governor whose economic policies have driven businesses out of the state and caused people to leave – often to neighboring states like Indiana and Iowa and Wisconsin, but of course Texas and Florida, too.… Continue Reading

John Adams’s test of character, the Pritzker story J.B. tells, and the history the polished biographies leave out
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” — John Adams, October 11, 1798 [1]
John Adams was not advocating a religious test for office. He was arguing that in self-government, our constitution—our laws—cannot replace character. In the same letter, Adams warned that avarice, ambition, revenge, and other passions, if unrestrained by morality and religion, could break even the strongest constitutional restraints.… Continue Reading

Illinois and the Nation Must Prioritize Election Integrity
President Donald Trump’s prime-time address this week presents a timely opportunity to launch a genuine national, bipartisan effort to strengthen election integrity. Unfortunately, top Democratic officials and their allies in the dishonest media have already rushed to criticize the president, dismissing his concerns about voter fraud and election meddling as “false” or “unsubstantiated.”
On his personal X page, JB Pritzker posted a statement in response accusing the President of “spewing lies” and attempting to “gaslight the American people” with “baseless claims” and “shameless propaganda.… Continue Reading

June is the notorious month for U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
We all remember June 24, 2022, when the horrific Roe v. Wade decision, making abortion the law of the land, was overturned and given back to the states.
This past June, a number of decisions were handed down— some very good and some very bad.
We’ll highlight a few of the significant ones:
1.) Birthright Citizenship (Loss)
On June 30th, the U.S.… Continue Reading
