Educators are often forced to pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to pay for supplies to build a functional, comfortable, and resource-filled learning environment. I partnered with Rep. Tim Burchett to introduce the bipartisan Educators Expense Deduction Modernization Act of 2025. Read more:

The Trump Administration's recklessness has put our national security at risk.
No one is this incompetent just once. This is just one example of how Trump appointees are willing to put our national security on the line to cover their own reputation.
March is Women’s History Month. I appreciated the opportunity to partner with the Lombard Historical Society to discuss my Period PROUD Act and the remarkable accomplishments of Ellen Martin, the first woman to vote in Illinois.

We must protect America's single largest health care provider.
