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.
I’m excited to lead this bipartisan group alongside Rep. Bergman, Rep. Pappas, and Rep. Garbarino to push back against postal privatization, improve speed and service, and protect good-paying union jobs at USPS.
For years, my constituents – and Americans nationwide – have faced lagging delivery rates, facility closures, and neglect from the top leadership at USPS. We’re launching the bipartisan Congressional Postal Service Caucus to tackle these issues head-on.
After we turned up the pressure, I’m glad to see the Trump admin release the education funds they’ve been illegally withholding from our communities. This is a big relief for our school districts and I’m going to keep holding the administration accountable to make sure #IL13 sees these dollars.
The summer is flying by! Thank you to our amazing interns, Sarrah, Samantha, Katherine, Emma, and Jack for all their help in my DC office!
Last week, I had the chance to meet with LGBTQ+ advocates in Champaign. I’ll continue to fight for safety, dignity, and equity of the LGBTQ+ community in the Halls of Congress and I’m committed to regularly convening meetings like this one to listen and learn from folks’ lived experiences.
The idea that veterans who fought and sacrificed for our country would face deportation is shameful. We’re demanding answers from the Trump administration about what they’re doing to prevent unjust veteran deportations and ensure noncitizen vets can access the VA benefits they’ve earned.
USPS is a lifeline in rural communities, but lagging delivery rates have meant delayed prescriptions, late bills, missed paychecks, and more. We must do better.
I was glad to bring together local leaders today to talk about how we can improve the postal service for Central and Southern Illinois.
The National Soybean Germplasm Collection, housed at the University of Illinois, is essential to Illinois’ ag economy and food security worldwide. It’s hard to overstate the significance of their work – yet President Trump’s budget proposed cutting its funding altogether. We can’t let that happen.
Happy Birthday USPS! For 250 years, the Postal Service has kept our communities connected, and it’s more important than ever to stand up for the efficient, reliable, and affordable mail delivery Americans deserve.
I was glad to join the Illinois Municipal League board meeting today to speak with mayors about our shared work on behalf of our constituents. As we face increasing uncertainty about federal funding, I will always fight to ensure #IL13 receives the resources it deserves.
Today we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act! This landmark law enshrined the rights of folks with disabilities – a huge step forward in building a nation that is inclusive and accessible to all.
Since taking office, the Trump administration has launched relentless attacks on the LGBTQ+ community – including ending the 988 lifeline for LGBTQ+ youth. I visited Uniting Pride in Champaign today to talk about ways we can fight back and keep uplifting our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors.
Today, I held a House Veterans Affairs Committee field hearing in Urbana where we talked about the unique challenges rural veterans face accessing the care and benefits they’ve earned. Thank you to Congressman Tom Barrett and all our witnesses for participating in this important conversation!
After pushing for this schedule change, it’s great to see the early morning American Airlines flight from Springfield to Chicago returning to the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport this fall! This new route will support local business, grow our economy, and connect our region with more opportunities.
I had the chance to tour the air traffic control tower at Lambert Airport with @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social! It was great to meet with NATCA members and hear about their work keeping the flying public safe, especially as federal employees face staffing challenges in the new administration.
