I talked about what Congress can do to level the playing field for small businesses competing with Main Street, and Wlower healthcare costs, like extending the ACA tax credits, so they can better support their employees.

What a great morning with women entrepreneurs from across the country at this year’s BREW Leadership Forum!
Her unwavering commitment to putting people first is exactly the kind of leadership we need. She’ll be deeply missed, but her example will continue to guide us forward.
Barbara was a force, who paved the way for generations of women in Illinois politics.
As the first woman to serve as Illinois House Majority Leader and the longest-serving woman in the General Assembly, she inspired me and countless others.
If we don’t establish clear guardrails, prediction markets are a recipe for government corruption. I questioned the CFTC Chair about what regulations he’s going to put in place and spoke about my PREDICT Act – which would ban insider trading on prediction market platforms.
Tomorrow, Team Budzinski is hitting the road for our monthly Mobile Office Hours. Stop by to learn more about how we can help you navigate the federal government!
I joined The Julie Mason Show to talk about my PREDICT Act – a bipartisan bill to ban government officials from insider trading on prediction markets and help restore trust in government.
So far in 2026, my team has helped return more than $615,000 to constituents that they were owed by the federal government! If you’re running into roadblocks with the IRS, the Social Security Administration, or any other government agency, visit my website to learn how we can help!
Last week, I stopped by the Empowerment Opportunity Center in Decatur and saw the incredible work they are doing for our neighbors. But with the President's budget gutting LIHEAP and community service block grants, centers like this one are under threat — right when our neighbors need them most.
ICYMI: I joined Sirius XM to talk about the @newdems.bsky.social Affordability Agenda! This comprehensive, commonsense plan tackles the top costs crushing working families – from groceries and utility bills to health care and housing.
Today is #WorldParkinsonsDay, where we recognize the more than 1 million Americans living with Parkinson’s disease and their loved ones who provide vital support. In Congress, I am committed to passing the policies we need to advance Parkinson’s research and improve care.
ICYMI: I was excited to announce new federal funding to help nearly 20 local veterans get training for good-paying jobs in the trucking industry! It was great to work with Lincoln Land Community College and the Illinois Trucking Association to bring home these resources.
Over the past year, processing times for DACA recipients have skyrocketed – creating needless barriers and distress for folks just trying to keep living and working in the only home they’ve ever known. I’ve joined a letter demanding answers and action from DHS to address these unacceptable delays.
How can President Trump claim to be America First while using foreign steel to build his Golden Ballroom?
It's an absolute slap in the face to American workers.
From childcare to senior support services, the Empowerment Opportunity Center in Decatur is a vital resource for our community. It was great to stop by and learn more about the incredible work they are doing each and every day!
There’s less than two weeks left until the submission deadline for the Congressional Art Competition! I encourage all young artists in IL-13 to submit your work by April 17th for a chance to display it in the U.S. Capitol!
The United States is the richest country in the world. No American should have to choose between buying groceries or their medicine.
The fact that this is the reality is a direct result of Republicans’ decision to end the ACA tax credits.
It was great to meet with seniors in Champaign! We talked about how I’m fighting to protect the services they rely on, like the Postal Service, Meals on Wheels, caregiver support, and quality healthcare.
I was excited to meet coaches and athletes from the University of Illinois’s parasports program and tour their incredible facility! In Washington, I’m working to ensure that programs like this one have the resources they need to keep making sports more accessible and inclusive for all athletes.
When a hospital shuts down, it makes it harder for EVERYONE to get the care they need.
I’m going to keep fighting to restore the funding rural hospitals in IL-13 need to keep their doors open.
