This week, I met with Lauren Brokish, the owner of Martinelli’s Market in Champaign, to hear her concerns about running a small business in the face of rising costs. Across #IL13, hardworking folks like Lauren are tired of the chaos & uncertainty we’re facing because of President Trump’s trade war.

The GOP tax package passed in the House last week gives federal employees an ultimatum: take on a higher pension burden or lose your labor protections. We can’t let this blatant attack on public sector unions stand.

The Trump administration has unleashed a trade war, and Main Street is paying the price. I stopped by First to the Finish in Edwardsville to hear how this local sporting goods store is being impacted by the President’s reckless tariffs.

Students, parents, and educators from across #IL13 showed out last night to take a stand for our schools. Everyone deserves access to a good public education, no matter their income, background or ability. Last night we made it clear that we aren’t giving up for our kids or our teachers.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 29(source)

I was excited to bring folks together today for my second annual Workforce Summit! With nearly 100 participants from across our communities, we had great conversations about ways to address the job skills gap and create more opportunities for folks to get connected with good-paying careers.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 29(source)

Tonight, we’re standing up for public education. RSVP to join me, AFT President Randi Weingarten, and NEA President Becky Pringle in East St. Louis for an important conversation about how we can ALL fight back against the Trump Administration’s threats to public education. forms.gle/H97GGtnYCx5S...

My friend and mentor Governor Jim Edgar is a champion of Illinois libraries, and he takes immense pride in our state’s rich literary heritage. I can’t think of a better way to honor his legacy than by dedicating a reading room in the Illinois State Library he helped build.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 28(source)

Parents, educators, and students are united in the fight to protect our public schools. Join me in East St. Louis tomorrow for a public education town hall. It’s time to make our voices heard. forms.gle/H97GGtnYCx5S...

Since it was created in 2015, VA’s Veterans Experience Office has made huge strides to improve veterans’ trust in VA and make services more accessible. It’s time to make this critical office permanent.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 28(source)

It was great to meet Dr. Mandy Eaton, the new CEO of Memorial Health in Springfield! Looking forward to working together to ensure folks throughout our community have access to quality care.

REMINDER: Last week, House Republicans passed a disastrous tax package that puts Medicaid at risk for 21,927 people in #IL13 and raises premiums for folks with ACA coverage. I’m going to keep fighting against this scheme to make health care LESS accessible and MORE expensive.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 28(source)

VA employees are not expendable. It's clear that the Trump administration's endgame is to break the VA - but we're going to keep fighting back.

At Veterans Affairs, plan for sweeping cuts tanks morale

The government’s second-largest agency, serving some of America’s most vulnerable citizens, is slated to lose 83,000 employees under Trump administration cutbacks.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 27(source)

I’ve had the opportunity to visit Chestnut Health Clinic in Granite City to learn about the critical services they provide to our veterans – now, their funding is at risk. I’m calling on Secretary Kennedy to protect federal dollars for behavioral health centers like Chestnut.

Public education is under attack in America – classrooms are losing resources, teachers are stretched to the brink, and students are being left behind. This Thursday, we're speaking out. RSVP to join us in East St. Louis: forms.gle/H97GGtnYCx5S...

Last week, I advocated for my BOOTS Act to be included in this year’s defense authorization bill. It’s a win-win that will support jobs at places like Belleville Boots, while making sure our troops have high-quality, American-made gear.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 27(source)

Our LGBTQ+ neighbors need our support now more than ever. I met with LGTBQ+ leaders in #IL13 to talk about how we can uplift and protect the community during these uncertain times.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 27(source)

Another successful #NewDemsOnTheRoad stop in the books! Thanks @whipkclark.bsky.social for joining @NewDems.bsky.social for an important conversation on paid family and medical leave and affordable childcare.

@whipkclark.bsky.social, @houlahan.house.gov, and I were in Wilmington yesterday to talk with Delawareans about these compassionate and commonsense policies. ⤵️

It was a profound honor to speak at the Memorial Day ceremony at Camp Butler National Cemetery. I am grateful for the opportunity to honor our fallen heroes alongside our community.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 26(source)

Memorial Day is a reminder that freedom isn’t free. Today, I join every American in honoring the brave men and women who selflessly answered the call of duty and made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. They will never be forgotten.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 24(source)

We can’t let it fly under the radar that the GOP tax package would eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood and block ACA insurance plans from covering abortions. This is going to have a huge impact on women’s access to reproductive care in every single state.
