Today, the Financial Services Committee considered legislation to block credit card companies from using a specific code to identify gun retailers. These codes are applied to nearly every other type of business.
It should be opposed by anyone who cares about preventing Americans from being shot.

We are days away from health care premiums skyrocketing for millions of Americans.
Speaker Johnson's health care "plan" does nothing to stop this from happening. Instead, it strips more people of their coverage and further limits women's freedom to access reproductive health care.
Shameful.

Kristi Noem and ICE have terrorized Illinoisans for months.
Her racism and xenophobia have no place in Chicago.

This decision will cause Americans to die. This is exactly why I raised the alarm earlier this year when RFK Jr. fired actual experts on the panel in charge of recommending vaccines.
Science is real. Vaccines are safe. Don't let them fool you into thinking otherwise.

Whether it’s the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the VA, or getting a passport renewed, my office can help you navigate problems with federal agencies.

Clean energy is cheap energy. I teamed up with Rep. Mike Levin to unveil the Cheap Energy Agenda, a consumer-focused approach to United States energy policy that ensures Americans have access to cheap, reliable, and clean energy.

The Trump Administration's plans will increase the number of Illinoisans experiencing homelessness.
As temperatures fall, 7,500 more Illinoisans are at risk of losing their housing. This is pure evil.

I recently visited the Sheldon Peck Homestead in Lombard. The Peck Homestead is registered on the National Park Service Network to Freedom as a verified stop on the Underground Railroad.
Donald Trump is openly against affordability.
Costs have skyrocketed because of the president's tariffs. He signed the largest cut to health care in American history and refuses to extend subsidies that can help lower premium prices.
Shameful.

NEWS: My bipartisan bill to support innovation, entrepreneurship, capital formation, and growth in the start-up economy just passed the US House of Representatives.

My office is collecting holiday cards to share with seniors throughout IL-06! Deliver cards to my Lombard or Oak Forest office by Monday, December 1, 2025.
Happy Thanksgiving, IL-06! Wishing you a day filled with love, gratitude, and wonderful memories with family and friends.
ICYMI: I spoke out against ICE’s violation of constitutional rights at Broadview.
Earlier this week, I met with residents and community members at Oak Trace Senior Living in Downers Grove. I heard their concerns and answered questions about the rise of AI, ICE’s harmful presence in our community, and holding the Trump Administration accountable.
If your electricity bill has increased in recent months, you can thank Donald Trump.
This is exactly why I've proposed the Cheap Energy Agenda. Because we can increase reliability and lower your bill at the same time.

Prioritizing the interests of energy producers over the interests of energy consumers has caused prices to skyrocket.
It's time for an approach to energy policy that puts American consumers first.

Share holiday greetings with seniors through my office's Holiday Card Drive! This year, my office will be collecting cards to share with local senior facilities in IL-06. Mail or drop off your cards by Monday, December 1.
Despite his promise to lower prices, President Trump’s tariffs have made life much more expensive for American families.
