I helped pass ethics reforms that banned lawmakers from lobbying while in office, strengthened lobbyist disclosure requirements, restricted campaign fundraising during session, and established a one-year lobbying ban after leaving office.

I will continue fighting to extend Illinois' revolving-door lobbying ban from one year to five years to further strengthen public trust in government.
