I’m fighting to lower gas prices and that includes making E-15 fuel available year-round. This is a win for drivers, farmers, and families. Today I joined @budzinski.house.gov and Jed Bower, Ohio farmer, and President of the National Corn Growers to call on Congress to get this done.

New Dem Vice Chair for Policy @budzinski.house.gov joins @jessicatarlov.bsky.social and @thirdway.bsky.social's @lanaeerickson.bsky.social to discuss the New Dem Affordability Agenda—a roadmap for how we can lower costs for working families. #EGCSolutionsConference

This week, we celebrate Women’s Health Week. Too many women still struggle to access affordable healthcare close to home. Supporting women’s health means supporting families, communities and future generations.

Working parents keep this country running. They deserve a childcare system that actually works for them. Reliable, affordable childcare helps parents work and kids thrive.

“We’re eating less, we’re eating more frozen stuff.” Cutting SNAP benefits won’t lower grocery prices or help working families. It will just make it harder for kids, seniors, veterans and working parents to put food on the table. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The families going hungry because of Trump’s food stamp cuts

Under President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” food stamp applicants are fighting to prove eligibility and facing questions about birthday gifts sent over Zelle. A crisis in Arizona offers a wa...

Families are paying more at the grocery store, more at the gas pump, and more to keep a roof over their heads. We need to cut costs and make life more affordable for working people.

ICYMI: The crushing blow to the Voting Rights Act undermines decades of progress toward fair representation and voting rights protections. Every American deserves an equal say in our democracy.

This National Police Week, we honor the officers who work every day to keep our communities safe. We remember those we’ve lost in the line of duty and thank law enforcement families alongside them.

ICYMI: Last week I was proud to recognize students in our district who participated in this year’s Congressional Art Competition. From Urbana to Belleville, it’s clear that we have talented artists from all corners of the district. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNIK...

Last week, I met with my Agricultural Advisory Council at the NCERC in Edwardsville to listen to our farmers and discuss my efforts to strengthen the Farm Bill, lower the cost of fertilizer, and give farmers the tools they need to keep feeding our communities.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 10(source)

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures across IL-13 who keep our families and communities strong. Thank you for the countless ways you lead with love and care.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 8(source)

This week, we honor the nurses who keep our communities healthy. Thank you for your dedication, kindness and unwavering selflessness.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 7(source)

Every year the Congressional Art Competition comes around, I’m more and more impressed by the talent we have in our district. This year, I’m excited to announce our winner, Urbana's very own Charlotte Lin, from University Laboratory High School, for her piece “Liminal." 🎨

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 7(source)

Yesterday I convened my Agriculture Advisory Council at the NCERC in Edwardsville! 🌽 We discussed opportunities to strengthen the Farm Bill, my work to bring down fertilizer prices, and the policies we need in Washington to help farmers weather this year of uncertainty.

I met with the new Executive Director of Downtown Springfield, Inc. and My Heart is Downtown to talk about our shared vision for the future of the area. We discussed efforts to bring in more businesses, attract more people, and build a downtown that our whole community can be proud of.

Right now, the national gas average is costing folks $4.50 a gallon. And the President isn’t doing a single thing to ease the burden on working people.

Health care decisions should be made between patients and their doctors, NOT judges and politicians. Mifepristone has been FDA approved for 25+ years. Today I join Congressional Reproductive Freedom Caucus as we take the fight to SCOTUS for access to this safe, effective health care.

Mail service in communities from Champaign to the Metro East is failing — and residents deserve better. I'm proud to support legislation that would establish real oversight, accountability, and reforms to improve delivery standards for the communities that need it most.

Illinois, Missouri reps push US House bill on St. Louis mail service

The St. Louis Postal Accountability and Reform Act would require the USPS to disclose delivery performance and progress on reforms to Congress.

Just wrapped up a powerful conversation with immigration advocacy groups. We heard stories from people who have been impacted and talked about how our community can coordinate to protect our immigrant neighbors. I’m going to keep fighting to demand reform & accountability with ICE and CBP.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govMay 4(source)

FEMA, TSA, and Coast Guard — your paychecks are finally coming. To every worker who kept showing up — protecting our skies, our waters, and responding to disasters without missing a beat — thank you. Your dedication will never go unnoticed.
