Government & Public Policy

MBJ Network’s Government & Public Policy coverage connects local and regional government with the national policy landscape, highlighting how decisions made in Washington impact communities across the Midwest. With a strong focus on Illinois and Chicago, we amplify community voices, deliver political insight, and examine the social issues shaping everyday life. Our reporting blends local impact stories with nationwide policy discussions providing context, accountability, and a clearer understanding of how public policy affects our region and the country as a whole.
