SPRINGFIELD – In response to the governor’s budget address Wednesday, State Senator Adriane Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove) issued the following statement:
“I appreciate the continued emphasis on homelessness prevention and proposed investments in the HOME Illinois initiative presented today. Stable housing is foundational to health, economic security and dignity, and investments that help keep families housed are critical.

SPRINGFIELD — State Senator Adriane Johnson stood alongside representatives from the Illinois Department of Human Rights at a press conference Wednesday to outline her legislation to strengthen and preserve Illinois’ civil rights protections amid growing federal rollbacks.
“As federal agencies retreat from enforcing long-standing civil rights protections, Illinois must step forward,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “This legislation ensures our state remains a place where fairness, accountability and equal opportunity are not optional — they are the law.”
BUFFALO GROVE – Lake County communities will see more than $1.1 million in new investments to improve local parks and outdoor recreation spaces through the Open Space Land Acquisition and Development grant program, thanks to strong support from State Senator Adriane Johnson.
“Parks and open spaces are essential to the health, well-being and quality of life of our communities,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “These investments will help ensure residents of all ages and abilities can safely access and enjoy Lake County’s natural and recreational assets.”
BUFFALO GROVE — State Senator Adriane Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove) released the following statement after Illinois sued the Trump administration over its dangerous immigration enforcement tactics and unlawful use of force:
“I commend Attorney General Kwame Raoul for taking decisive action to protect Illinois residents from dangerous and unlawful federal enforcement practices. No one should fear being stopped, detained or harmed without cause simply for living in their community, and this lawsuit sends a clear message that Illinois will not tolerate violations of our residents’ constitutional rights.
“What we have seen here in Illinois echoes what happened in Minneapolis to Renee Good — where unchecked federal force resulted in devastating harm. These incidents are not isolated. They reveal a troubling pattern of abuse and a disregard for due process, human dignity and public safety.
“I stand with Attorney General Raoul in demanding accountability and reaffirming that in Illinois, the rule of law applies to everyone, including federal agencies.”
