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...

Medicare's new $2,000 prescription drug cap goes into effect. Here's how it works.

Millions of Medicare enrollees are likely to see relief in 2025 when a $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug-spending goes into effect.

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.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govJan 1(source)

Happy New Year from Team #IL13! Wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful 2025! 🎆🎉

Fighting for working people is my life's work. I'm proud this term to have brought workers' voices to Congress, fought to protect the right to organize and stood up for hardworking families across Central and Southern Illinois.

The situation at our southern border demands our attention. This year, I took a trip with a bipartisan group of colleagues to learn about our border security needs on the ground.

President Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to making the world a better place. His legacy as a peace builder will live on for eternity. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones.

My team has helped over 1,984 constituents resolve issues they had with the Social Security Administration, the VA, the State Department and more. We've also helped constituents recover more than $2.2 million they’re owed from the federal government!

In Central and Southern Illinois, agriculture is the lifeblood of our economy and our communities. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I’ll always fight for the policies our family farmers need.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govDec 26(source)

Two years ago, I came to Congress to fight for working families and stand up for the values of Central and Southern Illinoisans. 15 bills introduced, 395 bills cosponsored, 50 caucus memberships and 1,237 votes later, I am filled with gratitude for the work we have accomplished.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govDec 25(source)

Wishing those celebrating throughout Central and Southern IL, and around the country a Merry Christmas! 🎄

The Springfield Rail Improvements Project is revitalizing our downtown and creating good-paying union jobs. This year, I helped secure $157 million in federal funding to get this project over the finish line.

Wishing you and your family a happy holiday season! I hope that you are able to rest, reflect and enjoy this time with your loved ones.

The 1908 Springfield Race Riot was a pivotal moment in our nation’s struggle with racism - leading to the creation of the NAACP. I was honored to work alongside community leaders to secure the destination of this site as a national monument & preserve it for generations to come.

I’m proud to serve on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee. We’ve had some major wins during my first term, including the launch of my Veterans Advisory Council, Women Veterans Advisory Council and the passage of my first bill - the Clear Communication for Veterans Act!

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govDec 22(source)

This year, I helped secure $51 million for the iFAB Tech Hub at the University of Illinois. This federal investment into groundbreaking biomanufacturing will unlock explosive economic growth and cement Central Illinois as our nation’s Silicorn Valley!

Last night, Congress passed legislation to extend the Farm Bill and provide $10 billion in economic aid to America’s farmers. This is great news for Central and Southern Illinoisans.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govDec 20(source)

I was sent to Congress by the people of Central and Southern Illinois to fight for their values – not cave to the demands of unelected billionaires. While I am relieved we averted a shutdown, House Republicans need to get serious about addressing the needs of everyday Americans.

I'm proud to see Illinois leading the way to get more women into good-paying construction jobs!

Big steps in Illinois to narrow the gender gap in construction! IL AFL-CIO is committed to raising the percentage of women in the trades to 20% in the next five years. It's time to create more opportunities for women in construction.
