"Stripping workers of their collective bargaining rights doesn’t just weaken unions—it threatens the very core of the American Dream." Statement from New Dem Vice Chair for Policy @budzinski.house.gov on Trump's executive order ending collective bargaining rights for federal workers ⬇️

We’re back! As the House Ag Committee works on the Farm Bill, stay tuned for my Farm Bill 201 series where I’ll explain what this huge piece of legislation means for our food and farm systems.

Trump is attacking the rights of one million working men and women in the federal workforce with the goal of jamming through his anti-worker agenda and eroding government services that Americans rely on. I stand in solidarity with AFGE and the labor movement. We will fight back.

President Trump and Republicans in Congress are eyeing billions of dollars of cuts to Medicaid - this would be devastating for Americans with disabilities, working families, and hardworking health care providers. This week, I met with @seiu.org care workers to talk about how we’re fighting back.

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

Veterans who experienced military sexual trauma should never have to face more pain when they file a claim with the VA. I introduced a bipartisan bill with Rep. Kim, Rep. Houlahan, and Rep. Bacon to cut red tape and ensure the claims process is not retraumatizing for survivors.

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

As a care worker, Juandalynn knows just how important Medicaid is to keep her patients at home, enjoying their lives with their families. We can’t let this lifeline be cut.

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

Cutting SNAP benefits would raise grocery bills for families, force kids and seniors to go hungry, and hurt the farmers who grow our food. House Republicans’ proposal to slash this critical program is just plain wrong.

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

In the Midwest, the Postal Service is a lifeline. I will always fight for hardworking postal employees who provide an essential service to our communities.

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

Secretary Hegseth’s carelessness and incompetence put our service members, intelligence officers, and national security in grave danger. He must resign immediately. And if he doesn’t resign, he should be fired.

Pete Hegseth has lost what little faith we had in him to carry out the duties of Secretary of Defense. He must resign immediately or be fired. Statement from New Dem National Security Working Group ⬇️

Last week, President Trump issued an executive order to shut down the Department of Education. Here’s what that means for our communities:

America’s postal employees work tirelessly to make sure we get our mail on time – regardless of where you live. I stand with the NRLCA, APWU, NALC, and the NPMHU in saying HELL NO to USPS privatization.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMar 25(source)

Equal work deserves equal pay. As a member of the Democratic Women's Caucus, I’m proud to champion the Paycheck Fairness Act to close the wage gap and ensure fair pay for all. #EqualPayDay

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMar 25(source)

It was great to meet with my colleagues in the Bipartisan Rural Health Caucus and hear from members of the American Medical Association and American Nurses Association about how we can work together to recruit and retain healthcare professionals in rural areas!

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

Last week, I met with Illinois farmers who are being impacted by illegal federal funding freezes and the rollback of USDA grant programs. I’m going to keep fighting to return these critical resources to our communities.

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

The Postmaster General’s plans to downsize the Postal Service will lead to even more delays for Central and Southern Illinoisans. My bipartisan Protect Postal Performance Act would ensure that changes to the USPS aren’t made on the backs of rural communities.

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

Too many of our nation’s service members come home with invisible wounds – we can’t allow our disability claims process to deepen them. Today, I’m introducing bipartisan legislation to reform the VA claims process to better assist survivors of military sexual trauma.

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

If my Republican colleagues are so supportive of shutting down the Department of Education, they should bring the measure to the House floor. I will never vote to take away critical education programs that our children rely on.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMar 23(source)

When used as a scalpel, tariffs protect domestic manufacturing. When used as a chainsaw, they lead to skyrocketing prices. I led a letter urging President Trump to be more targeted in his approach to steel tariffs so he can support American industry AND working families.
