Trump’s ICE & deportation quotas hurt real people. They’re our friends, teachers, business owners, & neighbors. ICE needs to be dismantled to keep families safe, respect dignity, & support the community. I won’t stop fighting in Congress for real immigration reform that reflects those principles.
My grandparents owned a mom-and-pop store, so I know the power of small businesses in our communities. When we support small business owners, we’re investing in our neighborhoods and building a stronger, more resilient economy for us all.
Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Law, millions of Americans risk losing their SNAP benefits. With grocery, gas, and housing costs continuing to rise, families will now have to fight even harder to put food on the table.
While Speaker Johnson and House Republicans prioritize a costly, escalating foreign war in Iran, hardworking families in our district are struggling. Congress should prioritize healthcare, food security, and lowering costs of living.
Today on School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, we celebrate the bus drivers who keep our children safe as they commute to and from school. Their dedication to helping families, schools, and students thrive does not go unnoticed and is truly appreciated.
Earth Day serves as a reminder that we all share the responsibility of protecting our planet. I’m fighting against Republicans’ attempts to dismantle environmental protections and working to lower energy costs, stop polluters, and invest in a sustainable future.
Access to quality and affordable healthcare is under attack by the Trump administration. President Trump is placing the greatest burden on those who can least afford it while giving tax breaks to billionaires. Congress must protect the millions of Americans who are at risk of losing healthcare.
Rep. David Scott dedicated his career fighting for farmers & hardworking families. He made history as the first Black House Agriculture Committee Chair and used his powerful position to serve Georgia. My heart is with his wife Alfredia, his family, and his staff as they mourn his loss.
After Charles’s wife, Kira, died after a routine C-section, he founded 4Kira4Moms to advocate for better Black maternal health. When I heard of Kira’s story, I got to work in Congress. I’m so grateful for Charles’s continued partnership to save Black moms & end maternal mortality.
Too many Black women are still dying from preventable pregnancy-related causes. Too many women are dying, and RFK Jr.’s response? “It’s getting better.” What a load of BS. RFK Jr. is failing women and Americans across the country.
The housing crisis isn’t a hoax. It’s reshaping our communities, pricing families out, and widening the housing inequality gap. We need policies that prioritize people over profits and make affordable housing a reality for everyone.
Trump’s budget continues the administration’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education and disinvest in our children’s futures. It makes $8.5 billion in cuts to K-12 programs and eliminates preschool development grants. Meanwhile, Trump wants more money to fund his war in Iran.
This Child Abuse Prevention Month, we recommit to protect every child. My work, like the Protect Black Women and Girls Act, ensures all children are cared for. Every child deserves safety, love and to be heard. Let's stand together and protect our children.
Trump’s tariffs are making life more expensive. In 2025, households paid about $1,700 more than the year before because of his tariffs. This year, that added cost is projected to rise to more than $2,500.
Financial literacy matters. But let’s be honest: no budgeting app can fix low wages, high costs, or an economy that keeps working families under pressure. People need information, and they also need the Trump administration to deliver an economy that works for all people.
Trump’s war with Iran is reckless, costly, and deadly. It has taken lives, deepened instability, and raised costs for families here at home. House Republicans stood by and let it happen. I will not stay silent to this reckless administration and their reckless leadership.
On Monday, I met with USW District 7 in Matteson to talk about the issues facing workers: collective bargaining, health care, job security, retirement security, and workplace safety. Being a union champion has defined my career, and I will keep standing with our workers.
Trump tried to end protections for more than 350,000 Haitians who contribute $6 billion to our country. That is cruel and dangerous. It took exactly 218 Congress members, but we successfully passed @pressley.house.gov's bill to extend protected status for Haitians!
