The Vision Accountability. Ethics. Transparency
Good Government Illinois is committed to:
- protecting democracy
- eliminating voter suppression
- promoting pro-equity, anti-racist government practices
- expanding government efficiencies
- rooting out corruption
- strengthening ethics reforms
- electing strong progressives in state and local government

When I decided to retire from the Clerkâs office, I started Good Government Illinois because I believe in speaking out against corruption and pushing reforms to make government more efficient, transparent, and better meet the needs of the people it serves. I also wanted to support progressive candidates and office-holders who align with these values, which I see as central to a good government. David Orr
