Today, I met with members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority from East St. Louis! These women are tireless advocates for our underserved communities, leaders in civic participation, and champions of academic excellence. It was great to learn more about their legislative priorities!

Rural hospitals across Central and Southern Illinois are at risk of shutting down because of Republican cuts. I refuse to sit back while my constituents lose access to care, which is why I’m fighting to restore full funding for Medicaid and the ACA tax credits.

I fought to bring home $34 million in federal funding for important priorities across the district, and I couldn’t be prouder to see these dollars going to work in our communities. Check out all of the projects we got funded:

16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act became the law of the land. I refuse to let Republicans destroy this framework that puts healthcare in reach for millions of Americans. I’m going to keep fighting to restore the tax credits, strengthen the ACA, and protect the care my constituents deserve.

Today is World Down Syndrome Day, where we celebrate people like my nephew Noah! I will always be an advocate for the Down syndrome community and fight to build a more inclusive world.

Falls are a leading cause of injury for older adults, and veterans often face an even higher risk because of service-connected injuries. My Safe Steps for Veterans Act would create a VA office focused on fall prevention to protect older veterans from avoidable, and often devastating, falls. 👇

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?

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.

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!

My new bill to ensure basic wage and overtime protections for home care workers is just the start. I'll keep fighting to pass major pro-worker policies like: ✅raising the minimum wage ✅national paid leave ✅affordable child care ✅the PRO Act.

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.
