Thanks for having me on the show, Brian! Great to have the opportunity to check in about how our political climate is impacting folks at home in Central and Southern Illinois.
nowdecatur.com/2025/02/14/l...
The people of Central and Southern Illinois are fed up with poor mail service.
As the Board of Governors searches for a new Postmaster General, I hope they prioritize a candidate who improves efficiency, reduces costs, and protects postal employees—while rejecting any attempts at privatization.
With the future of funding for federal construction projects in jeopardy, I was glad to have an opportunity to check in with the Springfield & Central Illinois Trades & Labor Council. I will always have your backs and fight to protect good-paying union jobs!
Firing USDA employees will make it harder for farmers and ranchers to get loans, implement conservation practices, and protect poultry and livestock from the bird flu – not to mention it will likely RAISE grocery prices on already-expensive staples like eggs! www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...
United Way of Decatur does incredible work to uplift and empower folks in our community. It was great to visit last week and learn more about their ALICE program which supports working families who need a little extra help to make ends meet.
House Republicans have proposed slashing Medicaid to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. I met with @seiu.org home caregivers today and heard firsthand how devastating these cuts would be both for patients and the hardworking folks who care for them.
Yesterday, I was in Fairview Heights to hear directly from special education advocates and members of the Illinois Federation of Teachers about how gutting the Department of Education will harm the disability community.
On Presidents' Day, we celebrate each American president for their contributions that have made our union stronger. I'm proud to represent the hometown of a great leader and champion for freedom, equality and democracy: President Abraham Lincoln.
Federal workers keep America running. It was great to meet with AFGE, NTEU, and other federal worker unions to talk about how we can push back against President Trump's attacks on civil servants in #IL13 and across the country.
Higher blends of biofuels help folks save money at the gas pump, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, cut carbon emissions and support critical markets for Illinois family farmers. I’m proud to co-lead the bill to secure year-round E15!
This week, the Secretary of the VA fired more than 1,000 employees, including disabled veterans & military spouses. I'm concerned this will mean even longer wait times for our veterans.
I've sent a letter to Secretary Collins demanding answers on how this could impact service.
Hailing from Decatur, Justice Lisa Holder White is a true trailblazer: the first Black woman to serve on the Illinois Supreme Court! #BlackHistoryMonth
It was great to meet with local leaders from Harristown and Forsyth today, including Mayor Deverell and Mayor Applebee! I'm proud to work alongside you on behalf of Macon County families.
What we know as "Presidents' Day" is officially recognized as "Washington's Birthday," despite the fact that four presidents, including Lincoln, were born in February.
I'm introducing to rename this holiday and honor each of the presidents who have led our great nation.
We're fighting for students with special needs, for community college programs, for hardworking educators and for the idea that EVERY child should get a good education.
Happy Valentine's Day #IL13!
By firing Gwynne Wilcox from the NLRB, President Trump has left the Board without a quorum and shut down its ability to hold bad employers accountable when they violate workers' rights. I joined 265 of my colleagues in a letter to the president calling on him to reinstate her.
The shuttering of the University of Illinois Soybean Innovation Lab is just one of the real life impacts of the Trump Administration’s attacks on federal funding. We need to keep amplifying these stories and the impact they have on our communities.
I'm excited to work alongside @davids.house.gov as Vice Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities, Risk Management, & Credit! I look forward to advocating for risk management policy that reflects the needs of the hardworking farmers in Central and Southern Illinois.
