Last summer, the Trump Administration cut $137 billion from rural Medicaid. Now, they want to spend $200 BILLION in taxpayer dollars to continue their war of choice against Iran.
Their priorities couldn’t be more backwards.

I joined an @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social hearing to demand better on-time mail delivery for Central and Southern Illinoisans. I asked Postmaster General Steiner: how much worse do delivery rates have to get before he rethinks the misguided "Delivering for America" plan?
My team will be in Staunton, Carlinville, Virden, and Monticello tomorrow for Mobile Office Hours! Stop by to learn more about how we can help you navigate the federal government.
During disasters, workers at grocery stores, farms, and meatpacking plants are on the front lines, ensuring families in Illinois and around the country get fed. I’m proud to partner with Senator Ben Ray Luján to intro a bill to protect these essential workers during times of disaster & instability.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day IL-13! I hope everyone enjoys this celebration of Irish heritage and culture. ☘️
It’s Election Day in Illinois! Making your voice heard at the ballot box is fundamental to our democracy. Visit www.elections.il.gov to find your polling place or a vote-by-mail drop box.
In the richest country in the world, working people shouldn’t have to ration their medicine. I am fighting to bring down health care costs and reverse Republican cuts to make sure that no family has to make these heartbreaking decisions.
Calling all high school artists in IL-13: the 2026 Congressional Art Competition is open for submissions! I’m always blown away by the talent we have in our district and I can’t wait to see this year’s artwork!
Home care workers are vital to ensure that seniors and folks with disabilities can stay in their homes and live with dignity – their wages should reflect that.
I’m proud to be an original cosponsor of legislation to guarantee minimum wage and overtime protections for home care workers!
As President Trump continues to wage his war of choice in the Middle East, working people are facing skyrocketing gas prices here at home. That means every time you drive to work, to school, to church or to the grocery store, you’re paying more.
IL-13 is America’s “Silicorn Valley”– where some of the world’s most productive farmland meets top scientific minds to make genuine breakthroughs. I was excited to take part in the 7th Annual Champaign-Urbana Ag Tech Week & talk about our region’s leadership in the growing biomanufacturing industry!
This is heartbreaking news. I’m praying for the loved ones of these six service members and for the safety of all of our troops in the Middle East.
This week, I held a virtual roundtable with the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services and more than 50 rural health providers. We talked about how we can work together in the face of Republicans’ extreme Medicaid cuts to protect access to care for our rural communities.
This is a terrifying situation in West Bloomfield and I’m relieved that the students and staff are safe. My heart is with the congregants of Temple Israel and Jewish communities across the country.
Antisemitism has no place in America and no one should live in fear because of their faith.
Standing in solidarity with the International Chemical Workers Union Council Local 12/ UFCW Local 655 who are on strike in Sauget, IL as they fight for a fair contract that keeps them safe on the job. ✊
When architect Eero Saarinen designed the Gateway Arch, it was his vision for the park to stretch across the river into Illinois — a vision that local leaders like Malcolm W. Martin fought to realize.
I couldn’t be prouder to be part of the coalition carrying out their legacy.
Who would have thought that letting an unelected billionaire take a chainsaw to our federal government would have negative consequences?
Government cuts under Trump’s second term weakened US emergency, security, and foreign response capabilities, now under scrutiny amid Middle East conflict. https://cnn.it/3P1jy9x
I’m going to keep fighting for these investments that drive innovation, support our growers, and bolster our rural economies.
I was thrilled to join Deputy Governor Andy Manar in Champaign for a conversation about biomanufacturing! I’ve always said that Central and Southern Illinois is America’s “Silicorn Valley” and our region’s leadership has only grown since we secured the iFAB Tech Hub designation.
Excited to join @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social and the Gateway Arch Park Foundation this afternoon to announce first steps to expand Gateway Arch National Park into Illinois! This project will bring opportunity, energy, and investment to the Metro East.
