AGP Executive Report

Last update: 21 minutes ago

Gun Violence Bill Push: A House committee advanced a measure that would effectively block sales of certain semiautomatic pistols in Illinois, with supporters calling it “consumer product safety” and opponents warning it targets Glock-style designs. Immigration Accountability Fight: A Cook County judge rejected calls for a special prosecutor into alleged misconduct tied to Operation Midway Blitz, saying the state’s attorney can’t be sidelined without stronger proof. AI Money in Politics: An AI industry group is pouring nearly $662,000 into a super PAC effort backing Rep. Rob Menendez, escalating outside spending in the Democratic primary. Housing/Finance Launch: Cindy Koutsovitis rolled out a “Home Wealth Map” platform offering mortgage planning tools and rate projections across five states. Memorial Day & Travel: AAA says Memorial Day travel is expected to be record-level, with Chicago-area congestion likely to spike Thursday and Friday as gas prices stay elevated. Taste of Chicago: The free festival is back in Grant Park July 8-12 with major headliners including Common, Babyface, Beach Bunny, and Julieta Venegas.
