Janet Yang Rohr, CFA

There is nothing better than high school sports. It’s a special opportunity to play with and represent your community. But that shouldn’t mean that it dictates what a student athlete and their family do in their free and weekend time. Whether it’s a Sunday 5K charity race or a college recruiting event, student athletes and their families should have the freedom to decide what is best for them in their free and weekend time - especially on Sundays when school is not even open. I am proud of everyone who worked together and very happy for 1,000s of high school student athletes, who will have access to more opportunities in the near future. More than 1 million in viewership between TV, web and social in one hour alone this evening, and the focus is where it should always be - on the kids. #IHSA

With Representative @jyangrohr after the Illinois Right to Play Act PASSED from committee to the full House of Representatives! There's still more work to be done but this was a great first step.

🧵🚨HUGE NEWS🚨 FOR ILLINOIS SOCCER PLAYERS! ⚽️Last year, I couldn't play high school soccer because my team was in the @GAcademyLeague Champions Cup and I missed the high school cutoff by 3 days. An appeal to @IHSA_IL was declined so I spent the year as team manager and missed out on H.S. soccer. I had to switch out of the Girls Academy to the ECNL to be able to accommodate High School play. The amazing Illinois State Representative @jyangrohr saw my story and heard about other high school athletes who are prevented from the right to play high school sports because of an overlap with club sports and she has done something about it. Representative Rohr just introduced the ILLINOIS RIGHT TO PLAY ACT. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Keep reading the thread below to find out how you can help! ilga.gov/legislation/BillSta… @SoccerGrlProbs @gatorjack72 @ImYouthSoccer @ImCollegeSoccer @girlssoccernet @TopDrawerSoccer @TheSoccerWire @TrustTrost @PrepSoccer @dhpreps @ChiSoccerNews @justwsports

Today I joined Rep. Janet Yang-Rohr in welcoming some very special entrepreneurs to the Capitol to celebrate their small business, Just A Dollup. Congratulations to Rachel Costabile, Ashley McLeod, Ruth Pligge, Bridget Brown, and Erika Kissel on their entrepreneurial journey. They are shining examples of why all people need to be given opportunities to success, especially our people with developmental disabilities. Congrats ladies!👏🏾

Congrats to Rep. @jyangrohr who advanced HB4895 to close gaps on climate change education in Illinois. We worked with Rep Yang Rohr & @StateRepKim & students & teachers to get this done! 70-37! Thanks to all the lawmakers that understand science!
