Republicans in Congress just passed a bill to allow big banks to charge their customers higher junk fees and take advantage of working families at a time when costs are already way too high. I voted no.

It was great to meet with members of the International Union of Elevator Constructors from my district! I’m proud to be their ally in protecting worker safety and standing up for collective bargaining rights.
We are going to stand up against any effort to privatize the Postal Service because we must protect this lifeline for Central and Southern Illinois rural communities.
Americans deserve an accessible, affordable, and universal postal service. I was proud to join the National Association of Postal Supervisors this afternoon to speak out against postal privatization!
For years, Americans have felt the squeeze at the grocery store. Now, as prices skyrocket under the Trump Administration, Republicans in Congress want to cut billions in SNAP that helps families feed their kids.
I’m proud to announce that my Clear Communication for Veterans Claims Act passed in the House last night! This is a real victory for veterans who have long been frustrated by overcomplicated language when trying to access the benefits they’ve rightfully earned.
Today’s #FarmBill201 lesson: What is a commodity?
This week, we’re voting on a Republican budget proposal that would force the largest Medicaid cuts in American history to fund more tax breaks for billionaires. These cuts would be devastating for working Americans, including this #IL13 mom who shared how Medicaid is a lifeline for her family:
Trump’s recent EO illegally stripped collective bargaining rights from 1.5 million federal workers, like nurses who care for veterans and inspectors who ensure our food is safe. I joined every single House Democrat in a letter opposing this blatant union-busting.
Submissions for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition are due this Friday, April 11th! Visit budzinski.house.gov/congressiona... to learn more.
It was great to meet with some of my constituents from the National Association of Workforce Boards! We talked about how we can support workforce development in #Il13, especially with the upcoming reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
Slashing this program will *literally* lead to more homeless vets. This is how President Trump is repaying the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our country. www.npr.org/2025/04/03/n...
Did you know that 84% of funding in the last Farm Bill went to nutrition assistance programs? I’m working to protect these critical dollars that prevent kids from going hungry and support the farmers who grow our food. #FarmBill201
57 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr., was assassinated in Memphis, TN, where he had gone to support sanitation workers on strike. Let’s continue to honor his memory by fighting for justice, equality, and economic opportunity for all.
St. Clair County faced unprecedented challenges when floods struck in 2022 – damaging homes, businesses & essential infrastructure.
Today, I’m pleased to announce $30 million in federal aid for Caseyville, East St. Louis, Cahokia Heights, East Carondelet & Dupo to help these communities rebuild.
Our team was excited to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of the new Wedge Innovation Center in Alton!
I've been proud to work alongside AltonWorks to secure federal funding to revitalize downtown Alton. We can strengthen the local economy & provide a space to come together for innovation and education.
Safe drinking water, affordable housing, water pollution – these are all words you’re no longer allowed to say at President Trump’s USDA. Censoring these words makes it nearly impossible for USDA to conduct critical research that makes communities healthier and safer.
When the foundations of the VA are crumbling, why is Republican leadership on the House Veterans Affairs Committee hosting a sales pitch for biomedical executives?
We’re expecting severe thunderstorms in Southern Illinois this afternoon and tonight - with a risk of flooding and tornadoes. Folks should stay weather aware, follow storm warnings and plan how you will get to a safe location if a Tornado Warning is issued.
This month, I’m going to be taking you through all things Farm Bill, from the field to your fork. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so stay tuned!
