Minority Health Month ends today. The disparities do not.
Black and Brown families are still facing higher rates of chronic disease, maternal mortality, food insecurity, and barriers to care.
Awareness is not enough. We need action that saves lives.

My bipartisan Precision Agriculture Satellite Connectivity Act was added to the Farm Bill as an amendment to help farmers integrate technology into their operations.
But I could not in good conscience vote for such a harmful Farm Bill.
Read my full statement here:
This Republican Farm Bill fails to reverse SNAP cuts, ignores tariffs, and puts pesticide corporations first.
Republicans are stealing food from the mouths of children and refusing to alleviate burdens facing farmers.
I voted NO.
Internet access is not a luxury.
It is how families connect to work, school, healthcare, and opportunities.
Today, with @durbin.senate.gov, I introduced the Promoting Access to Broadband Act to help families navigate the enrollment process to Lifeline for affordable internet.
The Supreme Court just weakened the Voting Rights Act and made it easier to silence Black voters.
Let’s be clear: this is not about “fair maps.” It is about disenfranchising Black voters.
We need the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Gas is over $4 a gallon. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Families are choosing between groceries and rent.
Instead of lowering costs, House Republicans are pushing a cruel “Don’t Say Trans” and forced outing bill to attack trans kids.
I’m a HELL NO.
I was grateful to join @NMQF.bsky.social for a thoughtful conversation on healthcare, equity, and the work ahead.
I came to Congress to listen first and fight for my constituents’ healthcare and safety. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy few.
@krisbrown.bradyunited.org has helped shape the gun violence prevention movement for decades.
From the Brady Bill to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, Kris has never accepted gun violence as normal.
I’m proud to recognize her courage, partnership, and fight to save lives.
@sewell.house.gov is a trailblazer, a champion for voting rights, and the proud representative of Alabama’s civil rights district.
From the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to early cancer detection, her leadership is personal, powerful, and deeply needed.
Yesterday, at the @NMQF.bsky.social Summit, I was proud to present Congressional Awards to two women whose leadership has changed lives.
Both of these women have protected our democracy, expanded access to health care, and fought for safer communities.
Survivors deserve accountability.
The public deserves the truth.
Trump’s DOJ needs to follow the law and release the Epstein files.
Good Kids Mad City’s peacekeepers are doing lifesaving work by preventing violence and opening different opportunities for our youth.
I was proud to stand with them, as I have for the last decade, when Mayor Johnson signed an executive order advancing the Peacebook.
President Trump and Republicans promised lower prices.
They have not delivered.
In Illinois, families are paying $2,588 more on average, including $627 more for housing and $445 more for transportation.
Last week, I introduced my bipartisan FOOD for Health bill as an amendment to the Farm Bill.
This week, Rules Committee will vote on it.
I urge my colleagues to vote YES. Everyone should have access to affordable, healthy food.
I’m a workhorse, not a showhorse. I’ll always show up for my constituents, day in and day out.
I represent more than 4,500 farming families in rural Illinois.
I know what they need: lower costs, access to affordable healthcare, and reliable internet.
House Republicans have made it more difficult for hardworking farmers, and rural America is paying the price.
Gun violence is never acceptable — not at a park, home, school, or the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Thanks to the swift action by law enforcement, there were no injuries.
Gun safety laws can save more lives across the country.
Thank you to We Are Our Own Medicine for hosting an important conversation on gun violence prevention.
I joined the panel to talk about survivor support, equitable funding for community organizations, and the role of government to keep our communities safe.
There are over 500,000 veterans in Illinois, and I want to make sure that none of them are forgotten.
Access to high-quality, reasonably priced healthcare is a right for all veterans. This includes having access to the top VA clinics, mental health services, and hospitals.
Our kids deserve healthy food that fuels their bodies and minds, which is why nutrition programs are essential.
I introduced a bipartisan bill to support Food is Medicine programs that improve health through nutrition while lowering healthcare costs.
