It's been more than 15 years since the last increase in the federal minimum wage - that’s unacceptable. No one working 40 hours a week should live in poverty, which is why I’m proud to support the #RaiseTheWage Act!
The VA’s VASP program is a lifeline, helping veterans stay in their homes if they face hard times. I joined my colleagues in a letter to VA Secretary Collins calling on him to reverse his decision to end VASP and protect tens of thousands of veterans from foreclosure.
As egg prices hit a record high this week, House Republicans passed a budget that includes $230 billion in cuts to SNAP. We should be working together to lower costs – not ripping food away from working families.
Attention #IL13! Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to submit your art to the 2025 Congressional Art Competition. For more information, visit budzinski.house.gov/congressiona....
Helping St. Clair County recover from the 2022 floods is one of my top priorities. I’m pleased to announce that we just secured $30 million of federal disaster aid for Cahokia Heights, Caseyville, East St. Louis, Dupo and East Carondelet!

DOGE is a serious threat to our farmers. I joined @lcv.org to talk about how we’re fighting to protect critical conservation programs that help Illinois growers and producers increase yields, save on input costs, and protect the environment.
Did you change your name when you got married?
The SAVE Act will make it harder for you to vote.

Make sure you're signed up for my newsletter! We'll be sharing some important news this week that you wont want to miss. budzinski.house.gov/newsletter
Republicans in Congress just passed a bill to allow big banks to charge their customers higher junk fees and take advantage of working families at a time when costs are already way too high. I voted no.
It was great to meet with members of the International Union of Elevator Constructors from my district! I’m proud to be their ally in protecting worker safety and standing up for collective bargaining rights.
We are going to stand up against any effort to privatize the Postal Service because we must protect this lifeline for Central and Southern Illinois rural communities.
Americans deserve an accessible, affordable, and universal postal service. I was proud to join the National Association of Postal Supervisors this afternoon to speak out against postal privatization!
For years, Americans have felt the squeeze at the grocery store. Now, as prices skyrocket under the Trump Administration, Republicans in Congress want to cut billions in SNAP that helps families feed their kids.
I’m proud to announce that my Clear Communication for Veterans Claims Act passed in the House last night! This is a real victory for veterans who have long been frustrated by overcomplicated language when trying to access the benefits they’ve rightfully earned.
Today’s #FarmBill201 lesson: What is a commodity?
This week, we’re voting on a Republican budget proposal that would force the largest Medicaid cuts in American history to fund more tax breaks for billionaires. These cuts would be devastating for working Americans, including this #IL13 mom who shared how Medicaid is a lifeline for her family:
Trump’s recent EO illegally stripped collective bargaining rights from 1.5 million federal workers, like nurses who care for veterans and inspectors who ensure our food is safe. I joined every single House Democrat in a letter opposing this blatant union-busting.
Submissions for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition are due this Friday, April 11th! Visit budzinski.house.gov/congressiona... to learn more.
It was great to meet with some of my constituents from the National Association of Workforce Boards! We talked about how we can support workforce development in #Il13, especially with the upcoming reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
