It is imperative that we surge food, infant formula, and medical supplies to prevent even more death and suffering in Gaza. We are demanding that Secretary Rubio does everything possible to lift the blockade and help the children who are starving.

It is deeply concerning that a number of top CDC officials have been pushed out of their roles by RFK Jr. and President Trump. The CDC is essential to protecting our public health and we can’t let this agency become politicized.
Registered apprenticeships are a proven way to get folks connected with good-paying union jobs and to fill in-demand roles. I’m proud to join my @LaborCaucus.house.gov colleagues to call on the Secretary of Labor to prioritize registered apprenticeships in her upcoming workforce development plan.
Back-to-school season is more expensive than ever this year thanks to President Trump’s tariffs and sky-rocketing inflation. From lunches to school supplies, families are feeling the squeeze – and as Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill takes effect, those costs will get even higher.
On this day in 1963, more than a quarter million people marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to call for civil rights and economic opportunity. Today, we honor the legacy of civil rights leaders like Dr. King and the countless brave Americans who stood up to demand a more just and equal future.
It’s one of my favorite times of year when IL-13 hosts the Farm Progress Show in Decatur! I’m proud to show off America's ag-tech corridor right here in Central and Southern Illinois.
The Big, Ugly Bill gives billionaires and big corporations huge tax breaks on the backs of everyday Americans who are desperate for relief from high costs. From college students, to working parents, to retirees, this law will make life harder and more expensive for millions.
I am praying for the families affected by the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis this morning. No one — especially not our children — should fear for their lives in school or in a place of worship.
Huge thank you to my friend @repshontelbrown.bsky.social for joining my Ag Advisory Council meeting! As Vice Ranking Member of the House Agriculture Committee, it was great to host her in Decatur and hear firsthand the concerns our farmers in IL are facing.
Each year, #IL13 is proud to welcome growers and producers from across the country to the Farm Progress Show in Decatur! With the University of Illinois College of ACES at its heart, Central and Southern Illinois leads the way in ag innovation. It was great to see some of that work up close today.
It was great to join Mike and Max for a bipartisan panel on the Farm Bill, biofuels, ag research, and much more! Check out our conversation here:
Happy Women’s Equality Day! As a member of the Democratic Women's Caucus, I’m fighting everyday to restore reproductive freedom, close the gender wage gap, and achieve women’s equality in every area of life.
St. Louis is an essential partner to communities here in #IL13. It was great to meet with Mayor Cara Spencer to talk about how we can keep working together on behalf of our constituents!
It was great to visit the SIU School of Medicine today! We talked about how their work will be impacted by cuts to federal health care dollars and I had the opportunity to learn more about the important Alzheimer’s research being done by SIU scientists.
@afscme.bsky.social members are the backbone of our communities, working hard to make sure the government works for everyday folks. As the Trump administration tries to weaken organized labor, I stand proudly with unions like AFSCME to say hell no.
Changes to Head Start eligibility in the Big, Ugly Bill are going to hit families hard – especially in rural communities. I was glad to welcome @Hakeem-Jeffries.bsky.social to Springfield last week to talk about how Democrats are standing up to protect Head Start and defend our children’s futures.
Today, my team is hitting the road for our monthly traveling office hours! Stop by in Monticello, Staunton, Carlinville, and Cahokia Heights to learn about how we can help you navigate the federal government.
Do you want to learn more about how my team can help you navigate the federal government? We’re hosting office hours across Central and Southern Illinois tomorrow to answer all your casework questions. Hope to see you there!
I’m so proud to announce that my office has been selected as the winner for “Excellence in Congressional Management” by the Congressional Management Foundation. My team’s hard work has allowed us to accomplish so much for #IL13 – and we’re just getting started.
SNAP-Ed at Illinois Extension has been instrumental in combating food insecurity and helping families live healthy across the state. The loss of this program because of Republican SNAP cuts is truly devastating.
