Our service members defend our democracy abroad; they shouldn't have to fight to participate in it at home.
That's why I’ve introduced legislation to make the ballot more accessible to the men and women who bravely defend this country.

The Lincoln Park Zoo fosters connections between people and wildlife, and advances conservation efforts for our native ecosystem.
During my recent visit, I enjoyed learning about preserving native species and why it’s critical to keep local wildlife in their natural environments.
Happy Independent Bookstore Day! I recently visited two independent bookstores in our district, Swallow Stories Bookshop and Noble Capybara Bookstore and Gift Shop.
We’re fortunate to have local bookstores in our community that foster a lifelong love of reading.
The Field Museum is a leader in scientific research and environmental conservation. I joined the staff and Julian Siggers, the Field Museum’s president and CEO, for a tour and discussion to learn about their groundbreaking research and the importance of communicating science to the public.
I was so proud to honor Maclane Zich, the winner of the Congressional App Challenge for the 6th District. His app, HeadacheWise, is a tracking and analytics app focused on improving and tracking headache relief.
Earlier this month, I joined Lyons Township and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago for a discussion about flood mitigation and wastewater management.
I recently visited SEASPAR programs at the Lisle Park District and Darien Sportsplex. I learned about SEASPAR’s programming and toured the Wonders Multi-Sensory Room, which contains multisensory technology to help participants with autism.
Metropolitan Family Services serves over 200,000 families in Chicagoland every year.
I toured their Southwest Center in Palos Hills, which focuses on economic stability, education, emotional wellness, and empowerment.
This Earth Day, I’m committed to working on behalf of the American people to lower energy bills, crack down on price gouging, and reinstate energy improvements reversed by this harmful administration so we can reduce pollution and have a very happy Earth Day next year.
The WIC Program provides nutrition resources, referrals to medical care, and food benefits at no-cost to eligible families in DuPage County.
I recently toured and met with staff at the DuPage County Health Department to learn about the important resources they can provide to our community.
The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” was never meant to be used to issue fast, often unexplained rulings without full briefing or argument.
This is a fixable problem, one I’ve already drafted legislation to bring transparency and accountability to the Court. Now it’s time to bring it to the floor.
This National Library Week, I’m proud to celebrate the vital role our libraries play in strengthening our communities.
I recently visited Prairie Trails and Tinley Park libraries in IL-06, where I heard directly from staff about the incredible work they do to educate our community every day.
Don’t miss out on your opportunity to take part in my STEM Scholars Program this summer.

Last week, I checked out the Evergreen Park Urban Barn with Mayor Kelly Burke. I enjoyed learning about their environmental initiatives and educational programming for students and families in our community.
As a member of Congress, I am privileged to nominate qualified students to attend the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
This year I nominated 23 well-deserving students.
Social Security is a sacred commitment to millions of workers, retirees, and seniors.
We have to do everything in our power to protect this hard-earned benefit.

During the recent District Work Period, I enjoyed visiting, listening, and engaging directly with our community.
I’m back in DC now, ready to ensure that all of the concerns I heard from you all are voiced in Congress.
We need to provide consumers with access to the lowest-cost, most efficient, and most reliable forms of energy.
It’s a happy coincidence that this is synonymous with the cleanest forms of energy.
This week, I hosted a roundtable discussion with various senior citizen advocacy groups to discuss senior scams and fraud prevention, social security and retirement, as well as other challenges that seniors face.
Meet Linda, my latest Constituent Spotlight honoree.
Linda volunteers with the West Suburban Humane Society, where she cares for homeless animals, educates the public, and helps prepare dogs for their new adoptive homes. Through her dedication, she provides an incredible service to our community.
