State Senator Mike Halpin says Illinois' new budget includes added support for school lunch programs and a three-month food assistance bridge for families losing federal benefits. Speaking on Wake Up Tri-Counties, Halpin also defended new taxes on digital advertising and social media platforms, saying the revenue could help fund services including mental health care. He said higher education funding remains a top priority, especially for rural students and schools like Western Illinois University. Halpin also discussed efforts to recover back wages, ease substitute teacher shortages, limit eminent domain for CO₂ pipelines, and protect vulnerable adults under guardianship. State Senator Mike Halpin praised three newly signed Illinois laws that strengthen support for military service members and veterans. The legislation aims to boost Illinois National Guard recruitment, help student service members return to college after military leave, and expand access to innovative mental health treatments for veterans. Halpin highlighted Senate Bill 3926, which moves the Breakthrough Therapies for Veteran Suicide Prevention Program Advisory Council to the Illinois Department of Public Health, where it will help expand access to emerging therapies, improve provider training, enhance patient safety, and promote public awareness. He also applauded Senate Bill 3737, requiring colleges and universities to promptly readmit students returning from military service, and Senate Bill 3818, which encourages Illinois National Guard recruitment through a peer referral incentive program. All three laws take effect January 1, 2027. His office can be reached at 309-558-3612. Mike Halpin serves as Illinois State Senator for the 36th District, representing most of Rock Island County and portions of Mercer, Henry, Knox, McDonough, and Warren Counties. An attorney and former State Representative, Halpin previously worked for Congressman Lane Evans, assisting constituents and helping veterans secure military honors. He later earned his law degree from the University of Illinois and became a partner at McCarthy, Callas, & Feeney, P.C., where he focuses on labor and municipal law. Halpin continues to advocate for veterans through his work with Bridging the Gap: Stand Down for Homeless Veterans, providing legal assistance to those in need. During his time in the Illinois House, he supported balanced budgets and sponsored legislation allowing schools to stock undesignated glucagon to help save children's lives.

Can America last?As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, Americans find themselves asking difficult questions. Is this a time for celebration or reflection? Is democracy stronger than ever, or more fragile than we realize? And what responsibility does each generation have to preserve the republic?In this special episode of The Informed Citizen, host Dr. Philip Lindholm travels to the Washington State Capitol for an in-depth conversation with Lieutenant Governor Denny Heck and Jack Miller Center President Hans Zeiger.

In this week's episode, Jennifer welcomes Christina Delisio, a seasoned community leader and former Manchester Planning Board member, who is currently running for State Representative in Massachusetts' 5th Essex District. Christina brings nearly a decade of experience championing local issues, a background in law, public service teaching, and environmental consulting. Raised in Pennsylvania with a deep respect for civic duty, Christina has navigated the complexities of local government, environmental regulations, and family life, making her campaign uniquely informed by hands-on experience and a commitment to public advocacy. This episode explores the mechanics and challenges of running for office in Massachusetts, zeroing in on the obstacles facing candidates in special elections, low voter turnout, and the broader implications of one-party dominance. Jennifer and Christina discuss the need to participate in primaries, the frustrations with cookie-cutter policies from Beacon Hill, and the real-world setbacks caused by inaccessible or mishandled electoral systems. Controversial and compelling moments include candid commentary on local and state government overreach, the troubling decline in competitive races, the lack of diversity of thought in Massachusetts politics, and Christina’s creation of the ACE Network, a grassroots initiative to empower new voices and combat barriers to the ballot. The conversation also delves into the often-overlooked importance of signature-gathering, the process's vulnerability to fraud, and the necessity of courage and initiative in civic engagement, especially for women. "Massachusetts is all about diversity. Until it comes to diversity of ideas or thought, and then it's all done."~Christina Delisio This Week on Political Contessa: Special elections often suffer from extremely low voter turnout. Name confusion between candidates can create misunderstandings among voters. Issues with absentee ballots and election administration errors affect participation. One-party dominance leads to cookie-cutter policies that may not fit local communities. Gathering signatures is costly and vulnerable to fraud, discouraging new candidates. The ACE Network initiative aims to recruit and support new candidates at the grassroots level. Many races in Massachusetts are uncontested, leading to predetermined outcomes. Women need to be asked multiple times to run for office, while men are more likely to self-nominate.

The Author Events Series presents Governor Josh Shapiro | Where We Keep the Light  SOLD OUT In Where We Keep the Light, Josh Shapiro, a leading voice in the Democratic party, shares powerful stories about his family, his faith, and his career in public service. From an early age, Shapiro learned and practiced the power of helping others, values which he carried through successful campaigns for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, Montgomery County Commissioner, Pennsylvania Attorney General, and ultimately the Governorship, which he won in a decisive victory in 2022.  Here, Shapiro opens up about the toughest and most pivotal times of his life in public service – including: when an arsonist set fire to the Governor's residence while he and his family slept inside, when he was under consideration to be Kamala Harris' running mate in the 2024 election, and how experiences in his childhood shaped him to be the empathetic leader and pragmatic problem-solver that he is today.  Reflecting on what he has learned along his journey – knocking on doors, serving his community, and bringing people together to tackle the tough problems we face--Shapiro reminds us of the faith that guides so many and that there is more that unites us as Americans than divides us. Through it all, Shapiro shares the stories of the people who have impacted him along the way and how they've taught him where we keep the light. Josh Shapiro is the 48th Governor of Pennsylvania. He previously served as Pennsylvania's Attorney General, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners, and State Representative. From seeing his parents serve others-his father in the Navy and as the local pediatrician and his mother as an educator-to marrying his high school sweetheart, Lori, and raising four children in the community and traditions they grew up in, to a career fighting for the people of Pennsylvania, Governor Shapiro's life has been grounded in faith, family, and public service.

In this episode, Chris sits down with John McQueeney, State Representative for House District 97 in Tarrant County, Texas and member of the State Affairs Committee covering power grid and electric policy. In the last six weeks alone, John's committee has run three interim data center hearings. He is also drafting the Data Center Responsibility Act for the January 2027 session - the bill that will set the framework for how Texas handles the data center build-out for a generation.
