The Trump administration has caused chaos and confusion for Illinois farmers by freezing and cancelling critical USDA programs. I was glad to meet with my Agriculture Advisory Council today to talk about the impacts they’re feeling on the ground.

Bad weather, pests, and disease can spell disaster for farmers. But safety net programs in the Farm Bill, like crop insurance, help them stay afloat so they can keep growing the food, fuel and fiber that Americans need. #FarmBill201
Tomorrow, my team is hitting the road for our monthly mobile office hours! Catch them in Monticello, Fairview Heights, Staunton, Carlinville, Virden, and East St. Louis to ask all your constituent services questions.
House Republicans have slashed funding that would have helped reduce sewage overflows in Cahokia Heights, improve public transit in Champaign, replace service lines in Harristown, and much more. Today, I heard from folks leading these critical projects just how damaging these cuts could be.
With the news that the Social Security field office in Alton may be relocating, I was glad to have the chance to meet with local seniors to hear their concerns and share how I’m fighting to protect the benefits they’ve earned.
We recently got news that DOGE is going to be making cuts to offices that administer Social Security, including here in Alton. I'm demanding answers from the Trump administration about what this means for seniors getting their hard-earned benefits.
I’m a cosponsor of Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and @golden.house.gov’s Protect America’s Workforce Act - a bipartisan bill to restore collective bargaining rights for federal workers. We will keep fighting back against this administration’s blatant union-busting.
I joined @durbin.senate.gov in calling out the reckless decision by HHS to rip away $125 million in federal funding from Illinois health departments. I won’t stand by while Secretary Kennedy puts the health and safety of Central & Southern Illinoisans at risk.
The top question I get from farmers in my district is “What’s going on with the Farm Bill?” Let’s talk about it.

It's been more than 15 years since the last increase in the federal minimum wage - that’s unacceptable. No one working 40 hours a week should live in poverty, which is why I’m proud to support the #RaiseTheWage Act!
The VA’s VASP program is a lifeline, helping veterans stay in their homes if they face hard times. I joined my colleagues in a letter to VA Secretary Collins calling on him to reverse his decision to end VASP and protect tens of thousands of veterans from foreclosure.
As egg prices hit a record high this week, House Republicans passed a budget that includes $230 billion in cuts to SNAP. We should be working together to lower costs – not ripping food away from working families.
Attention #IL13! Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to submit your art to the 2025 Congressional Art Competition. For more information, visit budzinski.house.gov/congressiona....
Helping St. Clair County recover from the 2022 floods is one of my top priorities. I’m pleased to announce that we just secured $30 million of federal disaster aid for Cahokia Heights, Caseyville, East St. Louis, Dupo and East Carondelet!

DOGE is a serious threat to our farmers. I joined @lcv.org to talk about how we’re fighting to protect critical conservation programs that help Illinois growers and producers increase yields, save on input costs, and protect the environment.

The SAVE Act will make it harder for you to vote.
