August is National Black Business Month! Central and Southern Illinois is home to many incredible Black-owned businesses that enrich our communities and drive economic growth. I’ll always be a champion for these local entrepreneurs.

Today, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. Let’s honor the legacy of all those who fought for this hard-won victory by continuing their work to safeguard equal access to the ballot box for all Americans.
Women veterans put their lives on the line to defend the freedoms we hold dear. How does President Trump repay them? By denying them basic reproductive freedom at the VA. I’m urging VA to reverse course on this dangerous ban.
Illinois family farmers 🫱🏻🫲🏼 Feeding the community
I’m proud to co-lead legislation to restore two critical USDA programs (canceled by the Trump administration) that help food banks and schools purchase locally-grown food! It’s a win-win to support our farmers and fight hunger.
Last week, I had the chance to tour Planned Parenthood’s health center in Fairview Heights and meet with frontline providers. As Republicans in Congress push to defund Planned Parenthood through their Big, Ugly Bill, we’re going to keep fighting to safeguard access to reproductive care for all.
How is President Trump celebrating the 60th anniversary of Medicaid this month? By signing a bill to kick 10 million Americans off their health insurance.
IAM District 837 members — many of whom are my constituents — go to work every day building the foundation of our national defense. These dedicated workers deserve pay and benefits that reflect their contributions. I stand with them as they strike for a fair contract.
It’s a race against time to save Lottie’s life, but a promising medication for her condition is being held up by the FDA. I’m going to push the FDA to ensure she gets the treatment she needs.
Congratulations to UIUC's own Dr. Kaiyu Guan who is receiving national recognition for his groundbreaking work in food security and environmental sustainability!
Last week, I was honored to join the Illinois Farm Bureau Agribusiness Roundtable to discuss the challenges facing Illinois agriculture and urgent Farm Bill priorities. Protecting our farmers and growers is more critical than ever — I’m committed to finding solutions.
The Trump administration just ADMITTED that they’re trying to privatize Social Security. Social Security is a commitment to our seniors that if you work hard and play by the rules, you can retire with dignity. We won’t let Trump replace that with another one of his false promises.
It's abundantly clear the number of aid trucks entering Gaza are not nearly enough. This situation is dire. Israel must work to bring more food in and prevent further starvation of innocent children.
I’m excited to announce that after we pushed for these dollars, Champaign County has been awarded $6.4 million in Head Start and Early Head Start funding! Supporting education is one of my top priorities, and I’ll keep advocating for these resources that ensure every child is set up for success.
When the Trump administration abruptly ended two USDA programs that help food banks and schools purchase locally grown food, it was a major setback. I’m proud to help introduce a bipartisan bill that would restore these important initiatives that fight hunger and support Illinois family farmers.
The mail delays that Central and Southern Illinoisans are facing right now are unacceptable. On Monday, I convened a roundtable with union leaders, postal employees, farmers, and state legislators because we’re on a mission to make the Postal Service better.
I’m relieved that a judge has blocked the provision in the Big, Ugly Bill that defunds Planned Parenthood. We’re going to keep fighting to defeat this backdoor abortion ban and safeguard access to reproductive care for women in Illinois and across the country.
It was great to join @repmrvan.bsky.social for our SEVENTH New Dems on the Road Stop! We met with labor leaders, community colleges, and local nonprofits in Indiana to talk about our policy agenda to expand workforce development opportunities, including registered apprenticeships.
Our veterans deserve health resources they can count on.
I wrote an op-ed for @washtimes.bsky.social about how we can make the VA work better for all who’ve served.
For 60 years, Medicaid and Medicare have been a lifeline, helping countless Americans access high-quality, affordable health care. I’m fighting to stop Trump’s Medicaid cuts that will devastate rural hospitals and strip health coverage away from 10 million people across the country.
The EPA is trying to strip its own authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This move ignores science and puts corporate profits ahead of public health.
