ICYMI: I’m proud to be bringing home more than $2.3 million in federal funding for Champaign-Urbana! These dollars will support important local projects including upgrading Prairie and Weaver Park, revamping Parkland Way, and expanding the iFAB Tech Hub.
Tuesday’s speech was the longest State of the Union in history – but the shortest in substance. Instead of presenting a real plan to lower costs and protect health care, President Trump spent nearly two hours congratulating himself.
It was great to meet with the President and Executive VP of Belleville Boot Company this week! In Congress I’m fighting to pass my BOOTS Act, a bill to ensure our troops wear high-quality, American-made combat boots – ensuring their safety AND supporting good-paying jobs here at home.
Since his inauguration, President Trump’s net worth has gone up $3 BILLION. I support his call to ban members of Congress from trading stocks – but that ban must also include the president.
No one should use public office to enrich themselves.
On Tuesday, President Trump claimed the U.S. economy is “roaring like never before.”
Here’s the reality: 2025 was the worst year for job creation in DECADES. The U.S. lost 108,000 manufacturing jobs last year as the president slashed investments in clean energy projects.
I’m proud to be bringing home $250,000 to support the Prairie and Weaver Park rehabilitation project in Urbana! These federal resources will make it easier for folks throughout the community to access athletic facilities, engage in recreation programs, and enjoy this beautiful place we call home.
Thank you to Bonnie Styles, Executive Director of the Association of Science Museum Directors for stopping by my DC office! Bonnie is a constituent from Springfield and it was great to chat with her about supporting programs that foster curiosity and help us learn about the world around us.
I sat down with my State of the Union guest to talk about what we want to hear from President Trump tonight. Americans need answers about how he’s going to bring down the skyrocketing healthcare costs crushing working families.
My guest for tonight’s State of the Union is Laura Petty, a constituent from Alton whose family has been hit hard by Republicans’ failure to extend the ACA tax credits. Learn more about her story:
***SPOILERS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP’S STATE OF THE UNION***
Four years ago today, Russia invaded Ukraine in an unprovoked act of aggression.
As we mark this solemn anniversary, I continue to stand in solidarity with the brave Ukrainian people.
22,000 of my constituents in Central and Southern Illinois have seen their health care premiums skyrocket since Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire at the end of 2025. It’s time for Senate Republicans to pass the House bill to extend them.
Did you know that jazz legend Miles Davis was born and raised in the Metro East? For today’s #BlackHistoryMonth highlight, learn more about Davis’ upbringing in Illinois and his influence on America’s music scene. ⬇️
It was great to visit Riverbend Head Start in Alton this week to shine a light on how important these programs are to local families. For working families in my district and across the country, Head Start is a lifeline and I’ll always fight to ensure it gets the federal resources it needs.
This is a win for the American people. Today’s SCOTUS decision is not only a necessary check to rein in the Trump Administration’s executive overreach, but it is also a step to deliver real relief for working families and farmers in my district who have suffered because of the president’s trade war.
Today’s #BlackHistoryMonth highlight is the one and only Jackie Joyner-Kersee! Jackie Joyner-Kersee is an Olympic medalist, born and raised in East St. Louis. She is not only a trailblazing athlete, but also a champion for her community through her JJK Foundation.
My team is holding our monthly mobile office hours TOMORROW! Catch them in your community to learn more about how we can help you navigate the federal government. Details below:
I was honored to receive the National Association of Community Health Centers 2026 Community Health Advocate Award! Community Health Centers are a lifeline in underserved and rural communities, providing access to affordable primary care. I’m proud to be their champion in Congress!
I was excited to visit students at Riverbend Head Start today! As the Trump Administration threatens funding for Head Start, today’s visit emphasized why we must keep fighting to protect this program that provides quality, affordable childcare for families in Illinois and nationwide.
