I’m thrilled to welcome @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to Springfield today to talk about early childhood education. As we fight back against the Big, Ugly Bill which threatens access to programs like Head Start, Democrats are united in our mission to ensure every family has the support they need.

The Trump Administration's decision to strip collective bargaining rights away from the majority of VA employees will exacerbate the staffing shortage at VA and threaten vets' access to care and services. I wrote to VA to urge them to reverse course.

Federal interference in local law enforcement doesn’t make us safer. Instead, the Trump Administration’s unlawful attacks on Illinois' immigration policies have caused fear, uncertainty, and distrust. The Illinois delegation is demanding that President Trump keeps his hands off our state.

Illinois Democrats are united. The Trump Administration can’t bully us into changing our immigration policy.

Year-round E15 brings vast benefits to consumers at the pump and to farmers across Central and Southern Illinois. We should be doing everything we can to expand access, not create barriers, which is why I’m introducing the bipartisan Ethanol for America Act!

Huge congratulations to UFCW and RWDSU on bringing REI to the table to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement! I was proud to support their efforts by calling on REI execs to bargain in good faith, and I couldn’t be happier to see our union brothers and sisters secure this victory.

UFCW, RWDSU, and REI Co-op Reach Agreement That Outlines A New Path Forward For Contract Negotiations - The United Food & Commercial Workers International Union

UFCW, RWDSU, and REI Co-op announced an agreement to establish a national bargaining structure for the 11 unionized REI stores.

It was great to have my entire team together in Springfield last week for a staff workshop! We had the chance to reflect on the past year and brainstorm new ideas so we are better equipped to serve you in DC and out in our communities.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 10(source)

I’m excited to announce $6.4 million in Head Start and Early Head Start funding for Champaign County! I’m going to keep fighting for our kids’ futures. Every. Single. Day.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 9(source)

Ag Day at the Illinois State Fair is the best day of the year! I enjoyed visiting the Commodities Pavilion, talking to FFA students, meeting the University of Illinois dairy cow, and, of course, stopping for a corn dog!

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 9(source)

I stand firmly with EPA employees who should have the freedom to collectively bargain -- just like every worker in this country.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 9(source)

First the VA, now the EPA. President Trump is carrying out his executive order to strip union rights away from certain federal employees — a move that undermines critical government functions and threatens the interests of unionized workers nationwide.

We won’t let the Trump administration play games with women veterans’ health and freedom. I’m joining @juliabrownley.house.gov to introduce the Reproductive Freedom for Veterans Act that will safeguard access to essential care, medication, and counseling at VA.

VA would ban most abortions under proposed rule change

A proposal by President Donald Trump’s administration would eliminate most abortion services now provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs including in cases of rape or incest.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 7(source)

Today, we honor the valor, bravery, and sacrifice of service members who have been wounded or killed fighting to protect the freedoms we hold dear. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your service.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 6(source)

August is National Black Business Month! Central and Southern Illinois is home to many incredible Black-owned businesses that enrich our communities and drive economic growth. I’ll always be a champion for these local entrepreneurs.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 6(source)

Today, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. Let’s honor the legacy of all those who fought for this hard-won victory by continuing their work to safeguard equal access to the ballot box for all Americans.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 5(source)

Women veterans put their lives on the line to defend the freedoms we hold dear. How does President Trump repay them? By denying them basic reproductive freedom at the VA. I’m urging VA to reverse course on this dangerous ban.

VA leaders move to end all abortions at department medical sites

Abortion services had been offered at VA facilities since late 2022, even in some states where the procedures were outlawed. Now that will end.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 5(source)

Illinois family farmers 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 Feeding the community I’m proud to co-lead legislation to restore two critical USDA programs (canceled by the Trump administration) that help food banks and schools purchase locally-grown food! It’s a win-win to support our farmers and fight hunger.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 4(source)

Last week, I had the chance to tour Planned Parenthood’s health center in Fairview Heights and meet with frontline providers. As Republicans in Congress push to defund Planned Parenthood through their Big, Ugly Bill, we’re going to keep fighting to safeguard access to reproductive care for all.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govAug 4(source)

How is President Trump celebrating the 60th anniversary of Medicaid this month? By signing a bill to kick 10 million Americans off their health insurance.

10 million more people will be uninsured because of Trump’s mega-package, CBO forecasts | CNN Politics

The sweeping tax and spending cuts package that President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4 is expected to leave 10 million more people without health insurance in 2034, according to a Congressio...

IAM District 837 members — many of whom are my constituents — go to work every day building the foundation of our national defense. These dedicated workers deserve pay and benefits that reflect their contributions. I stand with them as they strike for a fair contract.

More than 3,000 Boeing workers begin strike after rejecting a contract offer

Roughly 3,200 workers are striking at sites in Missouri and Illinois. Members of the labor union representing the workers rejected a modified contract offered by Boeing last week.

It’s a race against time to save Lottie’s life, but a promising medication for her condition is being held up by the FDA. I’m going to push the FDA to ensure she gets the treatment she needs.
