Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the transgender community, emphasizing his dedication to strengthening protections in the state amid shifting national politics.

The governor has also signed legislation that modernized sex education in public schools, incorporating lessons on gender identity and related topics for K-12 students. He is a vocal advocate for allowing transgender athletes to compete in youth sports according to their gender identity.
His cousin, Jennifer Pritzker, a transgender woman, is a prominent activist and philanthropist. Jennifer, a former lieutenant colonel in the United States Army National Guard, leads the Tawani Foundation, which supports initiatives promoting understanding and acceptance of gender diversity.
The Pritzker family, one of the wealthiest in the United States, is known for its philanthropic and business ventures, including the Hyatt hotel chain. Their estimated net worth is $41.6 billion.
