When our service members make the ultimate sacrifice, that should be acknowledged and honored. Four soldiers were removed from the Pentagon's Iran war casualty database, then quietly moved to a new "Overseas Operations" category. It’s shameful and un-American.

That's why I'm proud to cosponsor the Great American Outdoors Act 250 to reauthorize this critical investment and protect our parks for the next generation.
Today marks the 6th anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act! The GAOA Legacy Restoration Fund has funded over 400 projects across the National Park System, supporting more than 72,000 jobs – including at the Lincoln Home National Historic Site in Springfield.
Today, we celebrate 236 years of the United States Coast Guard. Years of service, sacrifice, and showing up in some of the most dangerous conditions imaginable. From search and rescue to protecting our waterways, these men and women do it all. Grateful for their service today and every day.
ICYMI: Last week I visited State Rep. Wayne Rosenthal at his farm in Waggoner to talk through the issues that matter most to Illinois farmers — and what Congress can do to support the farm economy.
August is National Back to School Month! As students, families, teachers, and staff prepare for a new year, we recommit ourselves to ensuring every child has access to a high-quality education and the resources they need to succeed.
Working families shouldn't have to choose between filling up the tank and putting food on the table. That's the reality for too many people right now — and it's exactly why I’m fighting to lower costs every single day.
This week, I presented the flag that flew over the capitol on June 26, 2026 in Carlinville in honor of 62626 Day. It's one of the privileges of this job that never gets old — a chance to pause and recognize what really matters and the people who give this flag its meaning.
Yesterday, I joined Rep. Wayne Rosenthal for a tour of his farm and to discuss how he’s utilizing conservation practices in his farming, the future of year-round E15 and the need for a fairer crop insurance system for our farmers.
Agriculture is the #1 economic driver in Illinois and that’s why I’m so committed to standing up for our farmers.
Seniors on Medicare are already stretched thin. Now this administration is trying to end a program to keep premiums lower. After cutting Medicaid, letting ACA subsidies expire, and now this — it's clear who's paying the price for this administration's healthcare choices.
Rural communities, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities rely on mail-in voting. This is an attack on ballot access — and we're not going to stay quiet about it.
This administration is asking the Supreme Court to start new restrictions on mail-in voting less than 100 days from November's midterms.
Illinois has seen a 16% drop in SNAP enrollment. The need hasn't gone away. It just makes it harder for working families, the disabled and the elderly to get by.
284 Department of Energy research grants were canceled just because they were in states that voted against Trump in 2024. Not for performance reasons. Not for cost reasons.
That's not how federal funding is supposed to work. It's how you punish your opponents on the taxpayer's dime.
Last week was a great week for our constituent services team. We recovered $81,588 for residents across the district — money they were owed and needed. If you need help navigating a federal agency, learn more at: budzinski.house.gov/agencies
On the anniversary of the Veterans Entrepreneurship Act of 2015, we recognize the skills veterans bring home from service that have real value in the marketplace. Removing barriers to small business ownership for veterans isn't just good policy. It's the right thing to do.
Rural families deserve the same access to quality healthcare as anyone else. When there aren't enough providers and the nearest specialist is hours away — it creates a gap that we can’t afford to ignore.
Child care in Illinois costs families up to $1,633/month—nearly $20,000 a year. Yet only 17% of eligible infants and toddlers are in Early Head Start.
We should be expanding access for families, not cutting it. I'll never stop fighting to protect Head Start from this Administration's attacks.
ICYMI: I sat down with @axios.com last week to talk about prescription drug costs – what’s driving them up and what Congress can actually do about it. Drug pricing transparency, PBM reform and direct negotiations are real and we need to get things done for working families.
