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.

Slashing this program will *literally* lead to more homeless vets. This is how President Trump is repaying the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our country. www.npr.org/2025/04/03/n...

Trump's VA is ending a rescue program that's saved 17,000 military veterans' homes

The Department of Veterans Affairs says it will end a mortgage rescue plan that has saved many veterans from needlessly losing their homes, the move could strand thousands of others who need help.

Did you know that 84% of funding in the last Farm Bill went to nutrition assistance programs? I’m working to protect these critical dollars that prevent kids from going hungry and support the farmers who grow our food. #FarmBill201

57 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr., was assassinated in Memphis, TN, where he had gone to support sanitation workers on strike. Let’s continue to honor his memory by fighting for justice, equality, and economic opportunity for all.

St. Clair County faced unprecedented challenges when floods struck in 2022 – damaging homes, businesses & essential infrastructure. Today, I’m pleased to announce $30 million in federal aid for Caseyville, East St. Louis, Cahokia Heights, East Carondelet & Dupo to help these communities rebuild.

Budzinski Announces $30 Million of Secured Disaster Aid Funding Across St. Clair County

SPRINGFIELD, IL — Today, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) announced that much-needed disaster recovery funding through the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program ha...

Our team was excited to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of the new Wedge Innovation Center in Alton! I've been proud to work alongside AltonWorks to secure federal funding to revitalize downtown Alton. We can strengthen the local economy & provide a space to come together for innovation and education.

Safe drinking water, affordable housing, water pollution – these are all words you’re no longer allowed to say at President Trump’s USDA. Censoring these words makes it nearly impossible for USDA to conduct critical research that makes communities healthier and safer.

When the foundations of the VA are crumbling, why is Republican leadership on the House Veterans Affairs Committee hosting a sales pitch for biomedical executives?

We’re expecting severe thunderstorms in Southern Illinois this afternoon and tonight - with a risk of flooding and tornadoes. Folks should stay weather aware, follow storm warnings and plan how you will get to a safe location if a Tornado Warning is issued.

This month, I’m going to be taking you through all things Farm Bill, from the field to your fork. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so stay tuned!

Today, we celebrate World Autism Awareness Day! Let’s keep speaking up for acceptance, celebrating our differences, and building a more inclusive world.

The Trump Administration has slashed billions of dollars from programs to prevent infectious disease and address the substance use crisis - including in Illinois. I sent a letter to Secretary Kennedy calling on him to reverse these cuts that threaten the health and safety of our communities.

When I talk to veterans in my district, they share their fear and confusion over what the Trump administration’s VA layoffs will mean for their care. Instead of getting answers for our veterans, the House Veterans' Affairs Committee is hosting a sales pitch.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govApr 1(source)

Investing in the next generation of farmers is an investment in the future of American agriculture. I’m proud to lead bipartisan legislation with Rep. Zach Nunn, Rep. Joe Courtney and Senator Tina Smith to help new and beginning farmers access land, markets and capital.

Women are the fastest-growing demographic in the military, but women vets are often underserved and overlooked. It was great to meet with the Tri-State Women Warriors to hear their perspectives and talk about how we can work together to address the unique needs of women veterans.

Thanks to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing for stopping by my DC office! Proud to be your partner in strengthening nursing education in Illinois and across the country.

As a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, speaking directly with veterans about their needs is one of the most important parts of my job - even more so with the Trump Administration’s recent attacks on the VA. Thanks to VFW Post 4183 in Belleville for having me & @duckworth.senate.gov!

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMar 30(source)

Today, @duckworth.senate.gov and I toured the John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis that serves many veterans in #IL13. It was great to see the facility firsthand and learn how we can support their important work in Congress.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMar 30(source)

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating in #IL13 and around the world!

I hosted a roundtable in Alton last week, where my constituent shared a powerful story about how important it is to protect Medicaid:
