Gov. J.B. Pritzker is less than halfway through his second term. But that doesn't stop our panel from looking forward. Pritzker has ambitions on a national scale. But after being passed over as Kamala Harris' running mate, those will have to wait.

We discuss the governor's political future.

Also, we recap new laws that repeal the state's grocery tax, change the Biometric Information Privacy Act and limit what employers can demand of their workers when it comes to political and religious meetings.

Host Sean Crawford is joined by Capitol News Illinois' Hannah Meisel and Brenden Moore of Lee Enterprises.

Hannah covers state government and politics for Capitol News Illinois. She's been dedicated to the statehouse beat since interning at NPR Illinois in 2014, with subsequent stops at WILL-AM/FM, Law360, Capitol Fax and The Daily Line before returning to NPR Illinois in 2020 and moving to CNI in 2023.
