Today, I convened immigration advocates and nonprofit leaders in Fairview Heights amid this recent surge in ICE activity across Central and Southern Illinois.

President Trump is shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – the agency in charge of capping credit card fees, protecting your private data, and taking on predatory payday lenders. This move is a handout for Wall Street at the expense of working people.
Last night, Republicans passed a government funding bill that does nothing to lower healthcare costs – but the fight isn’t over.
Without the ACA tax credits, health insurance premiums will double for millions. That’s why I’m going to keep pushing for to extend these critical subsidies long term.
A home should be a place of comfort and safety– but the management at Sangamon Towers has failed its residents. My team has reached out to HUD officials & is in active conversations with local residents & stakeholders to make this right. Everyone deserves to feel safe & comfortable where they live.
Why I voted no on the Republican funding deal ⬇️
House Democrats are not going to stop fighting to lower costs and save healthcare for the American people.
Last week, I visited The Land Connection in Champaign to learn more about how our community is being impacted by President Trump’s delay of SNAP benefits. Illinois families deserve better than this chaos and uncertainty.
It was an honor to speak at the Veterans Day Ceremony in Belleville today to show the veterans I represent how grateful I am for their bravery and their sacrifices.
This Veterans Day, join me in honoring each of the brave men and women who stepped up to serve our country in uniform. I will never forget the sacrifices they’ve made to defend our democracy and I will never stop fighting for them and their families.
In rural areas like Macoupin County, access to health care is a distinct challenge – and in an emergency, every second counts. Today, I met with EMTs in Gillespie to talk about what Congress can do to support rural ambulance services and ensure every American can access the care they need.
Kids learn better when they aren’t hungry, and for many families, school meals are a lifeline. Today, I stopped by the Bunker Hill School District to talk to students and highlight the importance of school meal programs.
New analysis just confirmed what Illinois families already know: energy costs are rising.
President Trump promised that energy bills would be “cut in half” when he took office. Instead, Illinoisans have seen their annual costs go up $200.
It was a blast to stop by basketball practice for the Chatham Chargers Special Olympics Team and to talk with parents about special education. I’ve been proud to champion Special Olympics programs because they give every child a chance to thrive. Go Chargers!
Urbana Neighborhood Connection Center does incredible work to uplift youth and support families in our community. I was glad to have a chance to meet with Executive Director Dr. Jeniece Nance and Urbana Mayor DeShawn Williams to learn more about how I can support them.
Small businesses are going to be devastated if we don’t extend the ACA tax credits. I spoke to @inc.com about how we need a bipartisan deal to address these rising costs and get the government back open.
This week, I visited The Land Connection in Champaign to hear how local producers and neighbors are being impacted by so much uncertainty around SNAP benefits. Delaying these benefits for hungry Americans isn’t just cruel, it impacts our entire food system.
This week, I teamed up with Champaign County Health Care Consumers to host an Open Enrollment webinar. With so much uncertainty around the ACA tax credits, we want to make sure you have all the information you need for a successful enrollment period.
President Trump has cut off SNAP benefits, putting 56,000 families in Central and Southern Illinois at risk of going hungry. I stopped by the Glen-Ed Food Pantry in Edwardsville to help them pack meals and talk about the challenges they’re facing during this Republican government shutdown.
Community Lifeline in East St. Louis was my first stop in the Metro East when I was first sworn into office! It was great to be back with Rev. Kendall and First Lady Wyvetta Granger today to talk about how we can work together to uplift our community and fight hunger.
November is Rural Health Month. Ensuring that our rural communities in Central and Southern Illinois have access to quality care is one of my top priorities and I’m going to keep fighting back against Republican cuts that put our rural hospitals at risk.
