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.

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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I want to hear from you! Visit my website to share your story of how you've been impacted by this administration’s executive actions. budzinski.house.gov/posts/seekin...
On this day in 1965, thousands of demonstrators began their 5 day, 54 mile march from Selma to Montgomery to demand their right to vote.
Their courage and determination changed history for the better and continues to inspire us to fight for the future we want for our nation.
There is no reality where Republicans can reach their proposed budget cuts without crippling Medicaid — devastating our hospital systems and the more than 200,000 people in #IL13 who rely on Medicaid for lifesaving care.
The upfront costs of tools & equipment should never be a barrier for someone to start a career in the building trades. My Tools Tax Deduction Act would allow workers to write those expenses off their taxes, helping more folks get into good-paying union jobs!
Happy World Down Syndrome Day! Today, we celebrate people like my nephew Noah — who bring so much value and joy to our families and communities. Let’s keep working together to build a more inclusive world!
This afternoon, President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. Rural communities, working families, and educators in my district and across the country will suffer because of this reckless action and I stand with them in opposing it.
I was thrilled to visit Lincoln Middle School in East St. Louis today and lead a lesson about how our food is grown!
President Trump and House Republicans have proposed the largest Medicaid cut in American history to give big corporations an even bigger tax break. I met with @seiu.org to hear directly from healthcare workers and folks on Medicaid how devastating these cuts would be.
My team is hitting the road today for traveling office hours! They’ll be in Carlinville, Virden, Monticello and Staunton & ready to answer all your constituent services questions!
Today, I hosted a roundtable with @govpritzker.illinois.gov and local agricultural leaders to talk about the real, local impacts of funding freezes, grant rescissions, layoffs, and other actions by the Trump Administration. I’ll always fight for Illinois farmers.
Tariffs on foreign steel can protect workers and American manufacturing from bad actors like China. But any approach to tariffs must be thoughtful and targeted. My colleagues and I stand ready to work with President Trump on a strategic approach to boost American competitiveness.
