This administration has made it painfully clear that our system of checks and balances is under threat. That's why, this Congress, I have introduced legislation to restore our coequal branches of government as the Constitution intended, strengthen Congress's ability to serve the American people.

The CFPB has dismissed more than 20 enforcement cases that could have returned $3.5 billion to American consumers.
I asked CFPB Director and Project 2025 author Russ Vought a simple question: What do you say to the seniors, veterans, servicemembers and families who you’ve hurt?
My office’s STEM Scholars program introduces students to newly developed and in-demand careers in different industries.
Last week, I joined my STEM Scholars for a visit with the ATF Chicago Field Division at the Aurora Police Department.
When a Chicago constituent faced losing their job after scheduling issues with USCIS, my office stepped in to help.
We worked with USCIS to secure a new biometrics appointment and successfully requested expedited processing of their DACA and work authorization renewal.
Congress controls the power of the purse. We have the ability to make portions of the Supreme Court’s budget contingent on meaningful ethics reforms. It’s time we use that power.

“I had a constituent who called me because they found out their son was struggling with mental health issues in his suicide note. He said, ‘I thought I could muscle through, and I didn’t.’”
@casten.house.gov on his bipartisan Mental Health in Aviation Act to expand access to mental health care.
Are you waiting longer than expected for your tax return? My office is here to help. Whether you're experiencing delays with your tax refund, need assistance resolving an IRS issue, or are having trouble getting answers, we're here to help.
Congress has the power to restore balance among our three branches of government. In light of the Supreme Court's recent rulings, it is in the best interest of our democracy, and the country as a whole that Congress exercise that authority.
Last week, I checked out the Lombard Farmers Market with the Lombard Chamber of Commerce and Village President Anthony Puccio. Farmers markets support small businesses, connect residents with locally-grown products, and help strengthen our local economy.
Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling in Alsip employs over 700 people in our community. I toured their facility to learn more about the company's operations and its impact on our regional economy.
I recently visited HealthCare Associates Credit Union in Lisle to discuss the issues impacting credit unions and the communities they serve.
I appreciated the thoughtful conversation about strengthening consumer protections, preventing fraud and ensuring families have the financial tools.
Illinois is the birthplace of the Special Olympics, and this week I had the chance to cheer on incredible athletes at the Special Olympics Illinois Tennis Skills Competition in Tinley Park. Their hard work, determination, and talent were inspiring to see!
Take a look to see what I was up to in June.
It appears that they have now murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. For his family, for justice, and for the rule of law, there must be an independent and transparent investigation. (2/2)

ICE has repeatedly lied about their encounters only to be disproven by bystander videos. They have murdered people and then destroyed evidence before a proper investigation can commence. (1/2)

Earlier this week, I visited downtown Lombard with Village President Anthony Puccio and the Lombard Chamber of Commerce to meet with local business owners, including Soapy Roads and Babcock's Grove House.
I enjoyed checking out both businesses and hearing ideas to keep Lombard thriving.
Parks bring communities together, create opportunities for recreation, and improve quality of life.
It was great to visit the Lombard Park District's Madison Meadow Athletic Center to learn more about the programs and initiatives that serve families across our community.
TONIGHT: I'll be hosting a telephone town hall for constituents to discuss what's happening in Congress, share updates on my work, and answer your questions. I hope you'll join me!
