Let's face it: the costs of lifesaving prescriptions like insulin or an asthma inhaler are way too high. That's why I'm working to hold PBMs accountable for their predatory practices — including jacking up drug prices for patients and pocketing the profits.

As the 119th Congress gets underway, I'm excited to begin my role as @newdems.bsky.social Vice Chair for Policy! Now more than ever, we need to focus on finding common ground to deliver real results for working families.
Thank you to all the first responders, healthcare workers, snow plow drivers, linemen and other essential workers for keeping our communities safe and with power during this snow storm!
We couldn't do it without you.
Getting sick shouldn't ruin your credit score. This new CFPB rule means that medical debt will no longer appear on credit reports - making it easier for millions of Americans to save money, buy a home or get a small business loan. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
I'm proud to represent my alma mater, the University of Illinois, in Congress. From lowering housing costs to delivering federal dollars for groundbreaking research programs, supporting our students is one of my top priorities. dailyillini.com/opinions-sto...
It's always great to see my friends @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social and @repgreglandsman.bsky.social - especially when we're watching President Biden sign the Social Security Fairness Act into law! I was proud to work with them to help get this important legislation across the finish line.
Today, I voted to certify the results of the 2024 presidential election. The peaceful transfer of power is the bedrock of our democracy.
Brooklyn, IL is one of our nation's oldest Black towns—and it’s at risk of fading away. I’m working to secure federal funding to turn a vacant building into a community center, helping to revitalize their economy & preserve its rich history.
Four years ago, a violent mob attacked the Capitol in an attempt to undermine the results of a free and fair election. We will never forget the bravery and sacrifice of the law enforcement officers who defended our democracy on January 6.
Our district offices will be closed today due to the weather ❄️
Staff will be working remotely answering calls and answering emails. Anyone needing assistance can still reach district staff by calling any of the district offices.
Stay safe out there!
I just watched President Biden sign the Social Security Fairness Act into law! After years of efforts, we have finally restored the benefits our hardworking public servants deserve.
Roads are extra icy today across the district.
Please avoid unnecessary travel, take precautions and stay safe IL13!
I was thrilled to help pass the Social Security Fairness Act last month, which will ensure that hardworking public servants are no longer shortchanged on the Social Security benefits they've earned. I look forward to seeing President Biden sign this bill into law!
I just voted against a rules package that prioritizes party-line tactics over genuine collaboration across the aisle. I urge my Republican colleagues to join me in recognizing bipartisanship as an essential ingredient to address the needs of working families.
I'm honored to be sworn in today to begin my second term in Congress! Representing Central and Southern Illinois is the honor of my lifetime and I look forward to continuing to work to deliver for our communities.
I've pushed for U.S. Steel to remain American-owned and operated and I applaud President Biden for blocking the proposed sale. This will support the U.S. industrial base and protect good-paying union jobs for steelworkers in Granite City and across the country.
As I begin my second term in Congress, I'm focused on the issues that matter most to Central and Southern Illinoisans - like lowering the cost of groceries, uplifting underserved communities, improving USPS service standards and supporting our family farmers. Let's get to work!
Starting this week, seniors on Medicare will pay no more than $2,000 a year for their prescriptions! No one should go bankrupt paying for the medications they need and this policy will be a game changer for more than 39,000 seniors in #IL13. www.cbsnews.com/news/medicar...
I'm honored to serve the 13th Congressional District and I'm looking forward to getting more things done for our community in the 119th Congress! To everyone who has placed their trust in me - thank you.
The attack in New Orleans is truly heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire New Orleans community during this incredibly difficult time.
