AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoElection Results: Gov. JB Pritzker won a historic third term, and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton captured Illinois’ open U.S. Senate seat with more than 61% of the vote. Democrats also strengthened their already-large majorities in the Illinois House and Senate, with several races still being finalized. Chicago Schools: Jessica Biggs won the first citywide election for school board president. CTU-backed candidates took several board seats but lost the presidency; the new board faces budget deficits, declining enrollment and tough school-closure decisions. Downstate Divide: McDonough County voters backed exploring a new state separate from Cook County, as did voters in several Adams County townships. The measures are symbolic: every county outside Cook would need to approve the proposal for it to advance. Tax Debate: Cook County voters supported a nonbinding referendum calling for a 3% tax on millionaires, with proceeds split between property-tax relief and public education.
