Mail-in voting is secure and essential for military families, seniors, caretakers, and rural Americans.
This push to limit access to the ballot box is just Trump's latest attempt to undermine our democracy.

Millions of Americans—including 132,169 people in IL-11—rely on Social Security. 90 years after the Social Security Act was signed into law, Democrats are fighting to protect your hard-earned benefits for years to come.
The Trump Administration terminated union contracts at the VA and EPA, gutting workers’ ability to collectively bargain for the wages and benefits they deserve.
I stand with AFGE National and @704afge.bsky.social and will always fight for our workers.

With 20,000 attendees strong, Chicagoland Halal Fest—hosted right here in Naperville's Frontier Park—was an incredible blend of culture, food and community.
Congrats to the Illinois Muslim Chamber of Commerce for organizing this event!
It’s difficult to overstate just how reckless and incompetent this is.
mRNA technology saved millions of lives during the COVID-19 crisis. Now, RFK Jr. is undermining the science that could protect us from the next pandemic—and putting American lives at risk.
Deeply disturbed by reports of a bomb threat at a hotel in St. Charles—an act that endangered elected officials, guests, staff, and first responders. I’m grateful everyone is safe.
Political violence and intimidation have absolutely no place in our democracy.
Sixty years ago today, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed into law, banning racial discrimination at the ballot box.
Generations of Americans fought tirelessly for the sacred right to vote. We must keep working to protect and expand access to the ballot box for all Americans.
I’m deeply saddened by today’s tragic shooting in Georgia. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and all of the servicemembers at Fort Stewart.
When science becomes a political target, everyone pays the price. On One Decision Podcast, I discussed the Trump Administration’s and DOGE’s dangerous attacks on research and the scientists behind it. Check it out ⬇️
As if slashing people's health care to fund their massive tax breaks wasn’t enough, Trump and his billionaire donors are now building a gold-plated ballroom at the White House.
Trump is more concerned about his next party's venue than if you can afford your next hospital bill.
This is corruption on full display.
Firing the head of the BLS won’t hide what Americans are already experiencing under Trump's economic agenda: higher costs, lost jobs, and growing economic uncertainty.
The July jobs report is a bad sign for the economy—and on track with when economists forecasted we would start to see a downturn due to Trump's trade war.
Trump's tariffs are making it impossible for businesses to plan for the future and will continue to drive unemployment even higher.
Congressman Davis has been an invaluable leader in civil rights and for the people of Illinois. In Congress, Danny and I bonded over his career and my father's contributions to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Danny's presence in Congress will be missed, and I wish him the best in retirement.
I was proud to join my colleagues to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid today.
The Republican budget strips away health care from millions of Americans, so now more than ever, we must stand up to protect Medicare and Medicaid.
Thank you to everyone who came out for my Aurora town hall last night! It’s always a pleasure to connect with constituents about their concerns.
If you weren’t able to make it, you can watch the full recording on my YouTube.
I’ll be announcing my next town hall soon!

Revoking the EPA’s legal authority to combat climate change and hold polluters accountable is a dangerous attack on our communities and planet.
Trump must reverse course.

Math and science nerds around the world are mourning the passing of Tom Lehrer, one of the most brilliant comedy songwriters of our lifetimes.
