Affordable healthcare isn't a radical idea.
Healthcare costs too much and too many people know skipped appointments, rationed prescriptions, medical debt that follows families for years first hand. That's the reality for too many families — and we're fighting every day to fix it.

"It's like a chess game," the President said about negotiations with Iran.
Families filling up at $4 a gallon and farmers paying sky-high fertilizer costs aren't playing chess. They're trying to get by. We need a real plan to end this war — not a waiting game.
As kids head back to school, families in need are facing a harsh reality — SNAP cuts in the Big, Ugly Law have already stripped 1.5 million children of their benefits, and their connection to free school meals. That’s not acceptable.
23,000 jobs are gone and unemployment at 4.1%.
That's not the strong economy the President keeps claiming. Add rising gas prices, higher grocery bills, and expiring healthcare subsidies — and working families are being squeezed from every direction.
A home should be within reach for working families.
@newdems.bsky.social has a plan to bring housing costs down by cutting red tape, eliminating unfair tax advantages for big investors, and using existing space more efficiently. Affordability starts here.
Looking forward to seeing it come to life at the Springfield Transportation HUB in 2027.
History belongs to everyone — including the parts that are painful.
UIS has been selected to author the permanent exhibit on the 1908 Springfield Race Riot, centering the voices of victims, survivors, and descendant communities through their Legacy of Resilience Project.
Springfield Memorial Hospital has been named among the U.S. News Best Hospitals, ranked #4 in Illinois for rehabilitation and high performance in seven specialty areas. That recognition reflects the dedication of every person who shows up to care for our community.
This is how we stay competitive and keep good jobs in Central and Southern Illinois.
Happy anniversary to the CHIPS and Science Act! The University of Illinois and our Regional Tech Hub are proof that when we invest in research, workforce, and innovation, it pays off — for workers, for businesses, and for communities like ours.
The Women's Professional Baseball League is playing its entire inaugural season right here in Springfield — and it's been a long time coming. Our city's history with women's baseball made us the perfect home. This is something special happening in our own backyard.
A real Farm Bill supports farmers and families. That means year-round E15, better crop insurance, and protecting SNAP for the millions of people who depend on it. Cutting nutrition assistance to get a farm bill across the finish line isn't a compromise — it's leaving people behind.
That's why I joined more than 120 of my colleagues in demanding the ATF withdraw its proposed changes to loosen background checks, create new loopholes for illegal gun sales, and make it harder for law enforcement to trace crime weapons.
We shouldn't be making it easier for guns to be in the hands of criminals.
Every time you fill up, you're paying the Iran war tax.
Americans are spending more on gas and diesel because of this conflict — every single day. The cost to working families is real, it's rising, and it needs to stop.
ICYMI: Last week I had the honor of presenting Carlinville with an American flag that flew over the Capitol on June 26, 2026 – a once-in-a-lifetime gift for their once-in-a-lifetime celebration of 62626 Day.
Groceries are getting more expensive, and the USDA doesn’t expect it to stop anytime soon.
For working families already juggling rising gas prices, utility costs, and rent — this is one more squeeze they can’t afford. I’m not going to stop pushing for real relief.
61 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law. It was a promise — that every eligible American would have an equal voice in our democracy regardless of race. That promise has been chipped away ever since. On this anniversary, we recommit to restoring and strengthening it.
I’m proud to be leading the agriculture chapter of the SEEC Thriving Economy Project, to make sure the next generation of farmers can thrive. I sat down with the EcoRights Speaks Podcast to talk about how we’re working to promote income stability, innovation.
