Just testified to @democrats-veterans.house.gov on my legislation to support our nation’s veterans. From improving the VA’s maternity care programs, to making sure veterans have better access to preventative health care services, I’m committed to fulfilling our nation’s promise to our veterans.

There's a health crisis in America, and Republicans are to blame. Since Republicans refuse to fix their mess, we're taking action. House Democrats have forced a vote on our bill to extend the ACA tax credits to save health care for the American people.

I was so honored to join the groundbreaking celebration for Safe Passage DeKalb’s new, 24/7 shelter and see the federal funding I secured for this project being put to work for this incredible cause.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 19(source)

Safe Passage DeKalb is a lifeline for survivors of domestic, sexual, and dating violence in our community. I joined the groundbreaking for their new 24/7 shelter, an incredible space I secured $2.5 million in federal funding for.

What was the Broadview ICE facility like? Unsanitary, uncomfortable, and smelly. There was no food vendor or medical care available. The way immigrants and U.S. citizens have been treated there is unacceptable.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 9(source)

Parents afraid to walk their kids to school. Workers afraid to go to work. Local businesses suffering. The Trump Administration said they were going after the “worst of the worst” but all they’ve done is create chaos and fear in my community.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 8(source)

After months of delays from DHS, I was the first Member of Congress in years allowed into the ICE Processing Center in Broadview.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 8(source)

I’m honored to have had a small part in helping the Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry and Clothes Closet find their new, permanent home.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 7(source)

When Batavia was in my congressional district, I secured $3 million in federal funding to help the city’s food pantry find a new, permanent home.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 7(source)

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have terrorized Illinois for months, arresting U.S. citizens, dragging children from their beds, and breaking into homes.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 6(source)

Just introduced my new, bipartisan bill with Rep. Van Drew to make safe and clean baby changing stations more widely available for families.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 6(source)

Thrilled to celebrate the Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry and Clothes Closet moving into their new home! In 2022, I secured $3 million to help make this move possible and help keep our neighbors healthy, fed, and warm.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 5(source)

As the only Democratic nurse in Congress, I remember how expensive pursuing my degree was. And now, Trump’s Education Department is moving to make it even more expensive. Here’s how you can help.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 4(source)

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are not giving up the fight to save our health care.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govDec 2(source)

The incredibly popular tax credits from my Health Care Affordability Act have been a lifeline for families.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govNov 30(source)

During #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we honor the history, culture, and the contributions of all Native people and families in our northern Illinois community.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govNov 29(source)

Republican attacks on food for hungry families do not end with the government shutdown. Starting in December, SNAP recipients will experience changes to their benefits from the Big, Ugly Bill. Danielle from @fooddepository.bsky.social helped break it down:

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govNov 28(source)

It feels like hard work is being rewarded less and the American Dream feels more out of reach than ever. But instead of bringing down the cost of living like he promised, Trump is more focused on a tacky golden ballroom, starting trade wars, and giving taxpayer-funded bailouts to Argentina.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govNov 27(source)

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govNov 26(source)

Democracy isn’t just something that we have. It’s something we do – together.
