Before I came to Congress, I worked for the IAFF - fighting to get firefighters higher pay and better benefits. Today, I'm filled with gratitude for the brave firefighters from across the country who are risking their lives to battle the devastating California wildfires.
I introduced the bipartisan Protect Postal Performance Act to stop Postmaster General DeJoy from downsizing mail processing facilities in Champaign and Springfield. His misguided plans would only worsen delays faced by rural communities.
For decades, folks in Venice, Madison and Granite City have been fighting for justice after being exposed radioactive waste from the former Dow Chemical Company. I'm determined to get these communities the federal compensation they deserve. We're not giving up.
New federal guidance puts us on track to ensure #IL13 corn & soybean growers benefit from the 45Z tax credit.
I was proud to work with the Biden Administration and renewable fuels stakeholders on this effort. I urge the incoming Trump Administration to finalize these proposals.
My team is hitting the road for traveling office hours tomorrow! Catch them in Edwardsville, Monticello, Staunton, Carlinville, Virden and East St. Louis to get your casework questions answered.
I welcome the news of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that will bring home 33 hostages, send critical humanitarian aid and halt the horrific fighting in Gaza. I hope that this deal is the first step toward a lasting peace.
Today, on what would have been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 96th birthday, join me in honoring the Reverend Dr. King’s incredible legacy.
Dr. King’s fearless leadership and powerful words continue to inspire us to work toward a more fair and just society.
A recent report by the USPS Inspector General found that implementing "Local Transportation Optimization" led to even more delays.
Last year, I raised the alarm about what this misguided plan would mean for our rural communities. We can't let it happen in Illinois.
Thanks to the Social Security Fairness Act, more than 134,000 Illinoisans will see their full Social Security benefits restored. I was proud to champion this legislation to ensure hardworking public servants receive the benefits they've earned.
At-grade rail crossings are a leading cause of rail accidents and often lead to delays for commuters and first responders. I’m excited to announce $240,000 in federal funding for Champaign to plan a grade separation project on Bradley Avenue and make our community safer.
🚨 TOMORROW, January 15th, is the last day of the 2025 marketplace open enrollment period. Visit healthcare.gov to explore your options and find the best plan for you and your family.
I'm excited to launch Valentines for Heroes to honor the courage, dedication and selflessness of our veterans and first responders! Join me in sharing your gratitude by creating a valentine to give to these heroes. Learn more at budzinski.house.gov/valentines-f...
Last night, I voted to pass legislation to help improve FEMA's disaster assistance process. From communities impacted by the LA wildfires to folks right here in the Metro East recovering from last summer's storms, this bill will make it easier for people to get the aid they need.
I visited the former Dow Chemical Company in Madison to amplify the devastating effects of uranium production on the surrounding community. We'll never give up on getting justice for the folks who have suffered. www.ksdk.com/article/news...
ICYMI: Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, annual out-of-pocket spending on prescriptions for seniors on Medicare is now capped at $2,000! Let's keep working to bring down drug costs for everyone.
Building more housing is an important way to bring down rental costs. Last year, I was proud to deliver more than $1 million in federal funding for Alton's Lovejoy Project— the 1st new construction project downtown in over a generation!
Happy Korean American Day! Today we celebrate the countless ways that Korean Americans have enriched our communities and culture since the first Korean immigrants arrived to the United States 122 years ago.
For decades, families in St. Clair and Madison County have endured serious health problems caused by uranium production at Dow Chemical Company Factory. Today, I visited the site of the former factory to call for these communities to receive the RECA compensation they deserve.
