State Representative Bob Morgan

We took an important step toward tackling Illinois’ pension debt. In partnership with Senator Martwick, we passed legislation to extend the bipartisan, voluntary COLA Buyout Program for an additional 2 years - building on a solution that’s already reduced our pension (1/3)

Taxpayer dollars should never be used to reward attacks on our democracy. Yet today, we’re seeing a dangerous precedent unfold. Trump created a $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” which would allow individuals who claim they were “wronged” by the federal government (1/4)

No one should have to fear gun violence when casting their vote. Yet as political rhetoric grows more extreme and polarization deepens, threats against election officials are on the rise. (1/3) #illinois #chicago #springfieldillinois #banguns #fyp

With less than a week to finalize Illinois’ state budget, one of my top priorities in Springfield is continuing funding for our Nonprofit Security Grant Program. At a time when hate crimes and targeted violence are on the rise, no one should feel unsafe because of who they are or how they worship.

With less than two weeks left in the Spring 2026 Legislative Session, my colleagues and I in Springfield have a lot on our plate to get done before June 1st. #Illinois #Springfield #springfieldil #springfieldillinois #StateBudget

My bill, HB 862, has passed the House - a major step forward for disability rights in Illinois. This legislation creates the Illinois Department of Disability Advocacy and Guardianship, elevating the current commission to a Cabinet-level agency to strengthen accountability and transparency. (1/2)

I passed the Junk Fee Ban Act out of the Illinois House. At a time when families are being squeezed from every direction, hidden fees are making it harder to afford everyday purchases. This bill is simple: the price you see should be the price you pay. (1/2)

The price you see should be the price you pay at checkout. Earlier this week, I passed HB 228, the Junk Fee Ban Act, out of the Consumer Protection Committee, with the goal of requiring all hidden costs, like convenience and service fees, to be disclosed upfront. (1/3)

🚨 The Supreme Court just made it easier to supress your vote, and nobody is talking about it.  In February 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the USPS can't be sued, even when it intentionally refuses to deliver your mail. (1/7) #illinois #pritzker #earlyvoting #election #vote

As the Chief Sponsor of the Illinois Assault Weapons Ban, I have always vehemently opposed the work of the NRA, an organization that prioritizes weapons over human lives. 🧵(1/2)

Today, we're back in Springfield, kicking off the start of the Spring 2026 legislative session, and my focus is clear: affordability and real relief for working families. (1/3)

Today is a BIG day for Illinois! I joined @GovPritzker as he signed the Clean & Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA) into law, a historic win for working families, our clean energy future, and a stronger, more reliable grid. (1/5)

Reforming our transit system is deeply personal to me, so I’m grateful to Governor JB Pritzker, and my colleagues in the General Assembly for helping get this across the finish line. Illinois is on the right path to build a world-class transportation system.

Illinois will not flinch, nor will we falter, when confronted with attacks on our healthcare system by figures like RFK Jr. Today, alongside @GovPritzker, my bill HB767 was signed into law: a first-in-the-nation measure establishing a state-based vaccine-recommending body.
