I've heard from so many people in Central and Southern Illinois who are concerned about Elon Musk's power grab. I'm hosting a telephone town hall next Tuesday from 5-6pm CT to answer your questions and check in about my work to push back. Dial 855-531-1091 to join.

To celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm highlighting Olympic medalist and East St. Louis icon Jackie Joyner-Kersee! Jackie is not only a trailblazing athlete, but also a tireless advocate for children’s education, racial equity and women’s rights.

Two days later and Rural.gov is still not functioning. Is this standing up for working families and lowering costs?

The resources on rural.gov are still unavailable. It's time the Trump Admin gets this back up and running. Now.

Right now, millions of Americans are scared their livelihoods are at the whim of an unelected billionaire. I joined 154 members demanding answers from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about Elon Musk's access to the government's payment system and our constituents' confidential information.

Every day, my office hears from veterans who are struggling to access the benefits they’ve earned due to confusing processes and complicated paperwork. I'm proud to introduce bipartisan legislation with Rep. Tom Barrett to make the VA’s communication with our veterans clearer.

Thanks for stopping by my office, President Lee! It's always great to talk about how we can work together to support students at Blackburn College.

I'm proud to cosponsor @connolly.house.gov 's Saving the Civil Service Act that would block President Trump from implementing Schedule F – a policy that would make it easier for him to fire public servants who disagree with him.

I came to Congress to fight for working families. The best way to do that is through a tax code that prioritizes the needs of working people by investing in workforce training programs, reducing tax burdens on workers and supporting new markets for Illinois farmers.

I always love meeting with Special Olympics Illinois and I'm proud to work with them in Congress to build a more inclusive world! Their programs have given countless kids the opportunity to play, compete and grow – including my nephew Noah!

With the current state of uncertainty, federal employees need to know their rights and whether they have union representation. You can find out your bargaining unit status on your SF-50 form:

I had a great meeting with Rep. Tom Barrett to talk about how we can collaborate as leaders of the House Veterans Affairs Technology Modernization Subcommittee! I'm looking forward to working together on behalf of our veterans.

32 years ago, the Family and Medical Leave Act became the law of the land. This legislation was a significant step forward to recognize the importance of caregiving and to support working families. I will keep fighting to expand opportunities for paid family leave.

This morning, millions of Americans saw rural.gov go down—a key site for accessing funding to create jobs & invest in infrastructure. #IL13 received $23M in rural development grants in 2024. It’s back up now, but we can’t afford to lose it again. Here's why🧵

Cancer touches millions of lives across the United States and around the world. This #WorldCancerDay, let's continue to raise awareness, support those navigating a cancer diagnosis and remember those we've lost.

Today, on what would have been her 112th birthday, we celebrate the life and legacy of Rosa Parks. As the "mother of the freedom movement," her brave refusal to give up her bus seat in December 1955 sparked a movement that changed the course of history.

These are just some of the real-life impacts of the USDA's rural development program. We cannot leave our rural communities behind and I will keep fighting to ensure they receive the federal resources they need to thrive.
