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.
Proud to stand in solidarity with faculty at University of Illinois Springfield who are on strike for a fair contract!
Each year, I'm honored to nominate IL-13’s best & brightest students to attend our nation’s service academies.
If you're interested in applying to West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, or the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, click below to learn more!
April is Arab American Heritage Month! This month, join me in celebrating the contributions and culture of our Arab American neighbors in Illinois and beyond.
I am hopeful the courts will swiftly block this unlawful order. The USPS must remain free from political intervention and empowered to carry out its sacred mission: delivering every ballot, on time and without interference, for every American who chooses to vote by mail. (3/3)
It’s not only unconstitutional – it ignores more than 150 years of safe, reliable voting by mail. In 2024, over 99% of mail-in ballots were delivered & counted successfully, thanks to Postal Service workers. Any policy that slows down or blocks valid ballots puts people’s votes at risk. (2/3)
President Trump’s latest executive order to restrict mail-in voting is a direct assault on Americans’ right to access the ballot box. (1/3)
Lawmakers should never use their access and influence to personally profit. By banning government officials from betting on political events on prediction market platforms my PREDICT Act will help prevent corruption and restore trust in Washington.
Passover commemorates the Jewish people’s exodus from slavery – a story of faith, freedom, and hope. As families in IL-13 gather around the Seder table, I’m wishing all a joyous celebration. Chag Pesach Sameach!
Gas prices are continuing to rise because of President Trump’s war of choice in the Middle East. Working people deserve better.
From innovative materials to lifesaving therapies, the biomanufacturing industry is making breakthroughs every day. As the representative of America’s Silicorn Valley, I’m proud to be introducing a bipartisan bill to drive more investment in this growing field!
