School choice diverts your tax dollars away from your kid's public school. Proper funding for our public schools means better outcomes for students -- and that isn't something I'm willing to put at risk. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Federal funding is essential – it prevents kids from going hungry, helps families afford housing, aids communities recovering from natural disasters and much more.
I plan to make sure our communities see these critical dollars.
I enjoyed touring SIUE’s National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center today, where I got to learn about their work to develop new biotechnologies – including the first hand sanitizer made from corn-based ethanol!
I am praying for the loved ones of the 64 American Airlines passengers and crew, and the three Army soldiers who lost their lives in last night’s horrific crash in DC.
Thank you to the first responders who continuing to work the scene of this terrible tragedy.
This is a big win and we're going to make sure it's delivered to this community.
Unlike what the Trump Administration may think, disaster aid isn't reckless spending. Any attempt to rescind this funding would be illegal.
I’m heartbroken following the updates about the airline crash in DC. My thoughts are with those on board and their families, anxiously awaiting answers.
Thank you to our first responders on the ground.
I was thrilled to help St. Clair County secure $89.5 million in disaster relief as our communities continue to recover from the devastating storms last summer.
I will keep fighting back against the Trump Administration’s efforts to slash critical federal funding like this aid.
I had the best time with second graders at Hazel Dell Elementary making Valentines’ Day cards for #IL13 veterans, military members and first responders! Our heroes deserve to know how much we appreciate them.

My casework team helped Salt & Light Ministries in Urbana recover more than $650,000 that they were owed from the IRS. It was great to visit Salt & Light this week to learn how this money will support their work helping families in need!
Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating in Central and Southern Illinois and around the world!
Growing up, I saw how a union allowed my grandparents to build a bright future for our family.
By attacking the NLRB, Trump is making it easier for corporations to union-bust, stall collective bargaining and undermine labor rights at the expense of working families like mine.
In just one week, Trump has gone after our federal workforce & paused federal funding that could impact healthcare, school lunches and countless projects in our district.
If you live in IL13 and have been impacted by these orders, I want to hear your story.
That’s why I’ve joined a letter to the new OMB director demanding clarity and a detailed list of projects being paused.
I’m also in touch with local governments in the district to see what outreach they have received since this announcement.
We need answers.
Projects such as the Springfield Rail Improvement Project, Florida Avenue reconstruction in Urbana, and the Bradley Avenue grade separation in Champaign were all set to receive funding.
Now, we're left with more questions than answers.
We need to know how this will affect SNAP benefits, Pell Grants, Medicaid payments to states, health care providers and local projects.
Trump’s freeze on federal funding is reckless and threatens vital resources that local governments, schools, and working families—especially in my district—rely on.
Here are my thoughts on the Trump Administration’s order to freeze grant funding for American communities 🧵
Tax season has begun in Illinois! Filing your taxes is never fun, but it can be less stressful if you use the new IRS Free File tool. To learn more, visit:
AI has immense potential for agriculture, with digital innovations to help farmers increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve sustainability. I loved seeing some of these new technologies in action at the UIUC AIFARMS Institute!
I'm worried about President Trump's efforts to limit communication from agencies like the CDC and FDA. I encourage people to turn to Illinois state resources, like the Illinois Department of Public Health, for reliable, nonpartisan health information from experts. www.bnd.com/news/politic...
