Last week, I led 108 House Democrats in a letter to Speaker Johnson highlighting how letting the ACA tax credits expire will impact the small business community. We’re demanding that he extends this lifeline to help small business owners and employees afford their coverage.

Supporting our farmers and ensuring access to nutritious food go hand in hand. I was honored to take part in a conversation with Food Tank President Danielle Nierenberg about ag policy in Congress, including my bill to help schools, hospitals, and food banks buy food from local farmers!
This President would rather give $20 billion to Argentina than $5 billion to ensure kids HERE AT HOME don't go hungry.
It's cruel. He must follow the court order.
I’m teaming up with Champaign County Health Care Consumers to host a webinar about Open Enrollment this Wednesday! I hope you can join us to learn more about how to navigate your health care options in the ACA marketplace.
Families across Central and Southern Illinois are suffering because of President Trump’s cruel decision to delay November SNAP. We refuse to let our neighbors go hungry - which is why we’ve compiled resources across our community to help folks access food.
President Trump just announced he’s only going to send out partial SNAP payments this month. SNAP amounts to just $6 a day - partial benefits are simply not enough to keep food on the table. He has the legal authority to fully fund this critical assistance, instead he’s leaving families hungry.
I’m proud to cosponsor the Head Start Shutdown Protection Act to ensure that Head Start programs in Illinois and across the country can stay open during a government shutdown. Families and children shouldn’t have to suffer because of Republican inaction in Washington, DC.
November is Native American Heritage Month! This month, we celebrate the rich culture, histories and traditions of Native American communities in Illinois and across the country.
On Día de los Muertos, families gather in celebration and remembrance of those who are no longer with us. May memories bring you joy and comfort.
SNAP amounts to just $6 a day. The idea that anyone would have benefits left over at the end of the month is absurd – especially with what groceries cost right now. Families are going hungry TODAY and the president needs to reverse his cruel decision immediately.
Congress funds a SNAP reserve – around $5 billion right now – for exactly this situation. But instead of sending this money out to hungry families, President Trump is letting it gather dust.
Today, for the first time in history, SNAP benefits won’t be going out – leaving 42 million Americans wondering how they’ll get their next meal. Why? Because the Trump administration is REFUSING to use SNAP’s emergency contingency fund to administer this critical assistance. 🧵
Happy Halloween! I hope everyone in IL-13 has a safe, fun, and spooky night!
Biofuels create important markets for Illinois farmers and help folks save at the gas pump. I’m calling on the EPA to finalize rules that would support stronger commodity prices, more stable markets, and greater opportunity for rural America.
We should not be facing a hunger crisis in the richest country in the world. President Trump has the funds and the legal authority to administer SNAP in November – he’s just choosing not to.
My Congressional Postal Caucus Co-Chairs and I just delivered our priorities for Postmaster General David Steiner:
📨Address delivery delays
📨Protect postal employees
📨Ensure reliable service for all
ACA health insurance is a lifeline for millions of small business owners, their employees, and self-employed Americans. I led 108 House Democrats urging Speaker Johnson to extend the ACA tax credits and ensure coverage remains affordable for the small business community.
This administration’s reckless misuse of ICE has sown fear and chaos in our communities. Our immigrant community doesn't deserve this and we must demand better.
This is unacceptable. Myself and Senator Durbin are working urgently to obtain information about his status and to ensure he is released and reunited with his family immediately.
My office has received deeply troubling reports that a beloved member of the Staunton community, local business owner, father, and resident of over 20 years, was detained by ICE after dropping his children off at school. 🧵
