I just watched President Biden sign the Social Security Fairness Act into law! After years of efforts, we have finally restored the benefits our hardworking public servants deserve.
Roads are extra icy today across the district.
Please avoid unnecessary travel, take precautions and stay safe IL13!
I was thrilled to help pass the Social Security Fairness Act last month, which will ensure that hardworking public servants are no longer shortchanged on the Social Security benefits they've earned. I look forward to seeing President Biden sign this bill into law!
I just voted against a rules package that prioritizes party-line tactics over genuine collaboration across the aisle. I urge my Republican colleagues to join me in recognizing bipartisanship as an essential ingredient to address the needs of working families.
I'm honored to be sworn in today to begin my second term in Congress! Representing Central and Southern Illinois is the honor of my lifetime and I look forward to continuing to work to deliver for our communities.
I've pushed for U.S. Steel to remain American-owned and operated and I applaud President Biden for blocking the proposed sale. This will support the U.S. industrial base and protect good-paying union jobs for steelworkers in Granite City and across the country.
As I begin my second term in Congress, I'm focused on the issues that matter most to Central and Southern Illinoisans - like lowering the cost of groceries, uplifting underserved communities, improving USPS service standards and supporting our family farmers. Let's get to work!
Starting this week, seniors on Medicare will pay no more than $2,000 a year for their prescriptions! No one should go bankrupt paying for the medications they need and this policy will be a game changer for more than 39,000 seniors in #IL13. www.cbsnews.com/news/medicar...
I'm honored to serve the 13th Congressional District and I'm looking forward to getting more things done for our community in the 119th Congress! To everyone who has placed their trust in me - thank you.
The attack in New Orleans is truly heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire New Orleans community during this incredibly difficult time.
Happy New Year from Team #IL13! Wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful 2025! 🎆🎉
Fighting for working people is my life's work. I'm proud this term to have brought workers' voices to Congress, fought to protect the right to organize and stood up for hardworking families across Central and Southern Illinois.
The situation at our southern border demands our attention. This year, I took a trip with a bipartisan group of colleagues to learn about our border security needs on the ground.
President Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to making the world a better place. His legacy as a peace builder will live on for eternity.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones.
My team has helped over 1,984 constituents resolve issues they had with the Social Security Administration, the VA, the State Department and more. We've also helped constituents recover more than $2.2 million they’re owed from the federal government!
In Central and Southern Illinois, agriculture is the lifeblood of our economy and our communities. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I’ll always fight for the policies our family farmers need.
Two years ago, I came to Congress to fight for working families and stand up for the values of Central and Southern Illinoisans.
15 bills introduced, 395 bills cosponsored, 50 caucus memberships and 1,237 votes later, I am filled with gratitude for the work we have accomplished.
Wishing those celebrating throughout Central and Southern IL, and around the country a Merry Christmas! 🎄
The Springfield Rail Improvements Project is revitalizing our downtown and creating good-paying union jobs. This year, I helped secure $157 million in federal funding to get this project over the finish line.
