Working families are already struggling with costs. We shouldn’t be adding more economic uncertainty through reckless tariffs.
We need policies that strengthen American industry and protect our workers – not make everyday essentials more expensive.

This week, I had the opportunity to speak with the Caterpillar team about the importance of a strong surface transportation reauthorization bill so we can continue to support our local infrastructure and good paying union jobs for folks in Central Illinois.
This week, I met with some of our officials from Southern and Central Illinois to discuss infrastructure funding and how we can work to continue to make sure rural communities have the support they need.
It was great meeting my dear friend from Chatham Dave Kimsey and the team from the American Hotel and Lodging Association to discuss how we can work together to encourage more people from Illinois and around the country to visit our district and enjoy all our communities have to offer.
Democracy only works when everyone’s voice is heard. Every community deserves fair representation – not maps drawn to silence voters. Democrats will continue fighting for fair and free elections.
I was honored to accept the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) Leadership in Government Award.
I spoke about the work I’m doing to protect benefits and care at the VA, uplift the stories of our women vets, and ensure veterans remain at the center of every decision made at the VA.
During Police Week, Congress is coming together to thank our law enforcement officers for their dedication and sacrifice.
This year, three officers who served in the Venice Police Department during the 1920s and 1930s were added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
Year round E15 is the solution! I was proud co-lead the effort to get H.R. 1346 get across the finish line to ensure new markets for our growers and lower prices for consumers.
Between senior officials profiting off prediction markets, crypto scams, & the Supreme Court's lack of a code of ethics – corruption is rampant in DC.
As Vice-Chair of Policy for the @NewDemCoalition, my colleagues & I have a plan to fix this.
Happy AANHPI Heritage Month! We celebrate the generations of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Americans who have shared their culture and traditions with us.
As Vice-Chair of Policy, I was proud to lead my colleagues in the formation of this document to the governing agenda. We just released the "American Promise," which includes a concrete plan for how we can restore faith in government & fight corruption. @newdems.bsky.social
We need permanent year-round E15.
Now.
The President’s trade war has crushed soybean farmers across Central Illinois. I’m calling on the administration to secure a real, durable trade deal with China and deliver the stability our farmers need to compete and succeed.
Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! This month, we celebrate Jewish Americans across the nation and honor their culture and traditions that enrich our communities.

I’m fighting to lower gas prices and that includes making E-15 fuel available year-round. This is a win for drivers, farmers, and families.
Today I joined @budzinski.house.gov and Jed Bower, Ohio farmer, and President of the National Corn Growers to call on Congress to get this done.

This week, we celebrate Women’s Health Week. Too many women still struggle to access affordable healthcare close to home. Supporting women’s health means supporting families, communities and future generations.
Working parents keep this country running. They deserve a childcare system that actually works for them. Reliable, affordable childcare helps parents work and kids thrive.
“We’re eating less, we’re eating more frozen stuff.”
Cutting SNAP benefits won’t lower grocery prices or help working families. It will just make it harder for kids, seniors, veterans and working parents to put food on the table.

Families are paying more at the grocery store, more at the gas pump, and more to keep a roof over their heads. We need to cut costs and make life more affordable for working people.
