President Trump’s appointee for health secretary, RFK Jr., is an anti-vaccine science denier. Here’s why that’s so concerning:

No member of our military should ever have to fear military sexual trauma (MST) during their service. I’m proud to reintroduce a bipartisan resolution to recognize September 25 as MST Awareness Day and affirm my commitment to not only supporting survivors, but to preventing MST altogether.
Congressional Republicans are REFUSING to extend critical tax credits that make ACA coverage affordable for millions. When these credits expire, 4.2 million Americans will lose their health insurance and countless more will face skyrocketing premiums.
My team was honored to attend the grand opening of the National Science Foundation’s iBioFoundry at UIUC! This new facility will serve as a hub for scientists, industry experts, and policymakers to continue to innovate and conduct groundbreaking biomanufacturing research right here in #IL13.
America’s postal employees brave tough conditions every day, working through storms, snow, and the summer heat to make sure we get our mail. As members of the Congressional Postal Service Caucus, we’ve got their back in Washington, DC.
I was honored to speak on a panel at New York Climate Week about how clean energy investments lower energy bills AND reduce emissions – while creating good-paying union jobs along the way. It’s a win-win-win.
House Republicans have skipped town and President Trump is refusing to act. We need a funding deal that protects healthcare, keeps premiums low and delivers for the American people.
I’ve joined the Illinois delegation in demanding answers about DHS’s dangerous and reckless operations in our state. We refuse to stand by while masked agents trample on due process, indiscriminately arrest our neighbors, and threaten immigrant communities.
Republicans have manufactured a health care crisis in America. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to explain how their policies will make it harder for you to see the doctor, increase health care prices, and endanger our public health. ⬇️
🚨A new survey found that nearly two-thirds of corn growers are more concerned about their farm’s financial status than they were last year. I'm going to keep fighting for our growers in Congress by advocating for market based solutions - like year round E-15.
Today, I toured the new Tillamook factory in Decatur! This ice cream plant will create good-paying jobs and bring historic growth to the community. As we face tough economic times, it’s great to see these new opportunities coming to Decatur.
Shanah Tovah! Wishing all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah in #IL13 and around the world a happy and healthy new year.
The Big, Ugly Bill eliminates clean energy tax credits that support 21,000 good-paying union jobs in Illinois. Why? Because President Trump and House Republicans seem to care more about billionaires than working people.
An incredible day in Granite City. After we put the pressure on, U.S. Steel has reversed its decision to stop sending slabs to Granite City Works and WILL be keeping the plant open. This is a huge, hard-fought win for our steelworkers and the entire community.
USPS must deliver for the American people. That’s why I’m launching the bipartisan Congressional Postal Service Caucus and demanding better for Central and Southern Illinois.
Today is National Tradesmen Day - a time to show our appreciation for dedicated trade workers in #IL13 and across the country. From electricians to plumbers to carpenters, these hardworking men and women keep our communities running.

We refuse to stand idly by as this administration, with the stroke of a pen, takes away good-paying union jobs from workers.
We took over the House floor to call out Trump’s anti-jobs agenda and stand with workers✊
I sent a letter to Boeing management urging them to come to the negotiating table. It’s time for St. Louis Machinsts to get the fair contract they deserve.

President Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill cancels tax credits that were slated to create 100,000 jobs in the clean energy sector.
I took to the House Floor to demand that President Trump and House Republicans restore these tax credits that support these good-paying union jobs.
Last night, I spoke on the House Floor to honor Governor Jim Edgar. A voice of reason and a champion of civility, Governor Edgar led Illinois with integrity and compassion. I will be forever grateful for his mentorship.
