JB Pritzker Rolls Out a Day One Road Map for Congress

November 4, 2026 · 11:30 am ET · Leave a Comment

NBC News: “With Democrats set to take control of Congress with a resounding mandate for change, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is urging his party to act swiftly — with Trump-like speed — to advance an aggressive legislative and oversight agenda. To help them along, he is out with a road map for what Congress should tackle the moment they’re sworn in.”

“Fresh off a victory for a third gubernatorial term and looking toward a potential run for president in 2028, Pritzker is set to release a detailed 75-page plan Wednesday, with ideas on everything from increasing the federal minimum wage to restoring SNAP and Medicaid cuts.”
