Imposing new tariffs on Canada and starting a trade war with one of our closest allies will make everyday items even more expensive.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress agree this is bad policy. We voted to rescind Trump's initial tariffs on Canada back in February—we should do it again.

Trump himself votes by mail, but he wants to make it harder for you to do the same. For Republicans, the fewer people who vote this November, the better their chances.
While this SCOTUS ruling doesn’t strike down mail-in voting, it does allow Trump to continue his assault on our elections.
...and Trump himself has profited from higher gas prices – his own oil and gas stocks have gone up by $15 million so far this year.

It’s an exciting time as students are heading back to school across Illinois. But this year, families are paying nearly 8% more for back-to-school supplies than last year.
Trump’s tariffs and higher gas prices from his Iran War are making everything from notebooks to lunch boxes more expensive.
Selling early access to government announcements on Truth Social is blatant corruption. This is yet another move by Trump to profit off the presidency.
I've joined Rep. Jim Himes in introducing the NO PROFIT Act to stop this.

Once again, Trump himself voted by mail while he continues to try to restrict it for others.
Here in Illinois, we believe in protecting access to the ballot box for all American citizens—especially people who rely on mail-in voting, like veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities.
I stopped by Cinco de Mayo Market in Batavia to congratulate them on a successful first year in business! Hearing firsthand from local grocers about what’s driving up costs is essential to finding solutions to make America more affordable.
If you stop by, be sure to try their delicious guacamole!
I sat down with Erin Talks Money—right here in Naperville—to discuss Social Security.
At a time when the cost of living continues to rise, protecting Social Security should be one of Congress' top priorities. I get into how we can do that: youtube.com/watch?v=GJ5yFy_Ro18

Big Oil just hauled in $26.5 billion in revenue last quarter alone while you paid more at the pump. We have Trump to thank.
Despite decades of scientific research concluding there is no link between vaccines and autism, Trump and conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. are misleading the American people.
Splitting up the MMR vaccine is NOT recommended by medical professionals. Trump's anti-science lies are putting lives at risk.
The Trump administration admitted to canceling clean, cheap energy projects in blue states. These are projects that would've helped bring down your energy costs.
Jobs lost, wage growth the lowest in 5 years, and more Americans giving up looking for work.
The stress from Trump's tariffs and his war in Iran is hurting the economy.

Trump's failure to negotiate has needlessly driven up costs and made us all less safe.
Before Trump started his war in Iran, we had surveillance over Iran's nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz had free passage.
Now over 6 months in, we have no eyes on Iran's enriched uranium and Iran has control of traffic through the strait.
Weber Road has the highest average daily traffic of any road on the Will County Highway System. Through collaboration between my office, residents, and local officials, we were able to move this project one step closer to completion.
Last week, I was proud to present $850,000 that I secured in Washington to help complete the final segment of the Weber Road corridor improvements in Will County.

Belvidere School District 100 brought this issue to my attention as they rely on this funding to keep their students connected. The message from me and my colleagues is this: We cannot let school districts like Belvidere 100 down amid rising costs. Protect E-Rate funding and keep our kids learning.
