Good Kids Mad City’s peacekeepers are doing lifesaving work by preventing violence and opening different opportunities for our youth. I was proud to stand with them, as I have for the last decade, when Mayor Johnson signed an executive order advancing the Peacebook.
Last week, I introduced my bipartisan FOOD for Health bill as an amendment to the Farm Bill. This week, Rules Committee will vote on it. I urge my colleagues to vote YES. Everyone should have access to affordable, healthy food.
I represent more than 4,500 farming families in rural Illinois. I know what they need: lower costs, access to affordable healthcare, and reliable internet. House Republicans have made it more difficult for hardworking farmers, and rural America is paying the price.
Gun violence is never acceptable — not at a park, home, school, or the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Thanks to the swift action by law enforcement, there were no injuries. Gun safety laws can save more lives across the country.
Thank you to We Are Our Own Medicine for hosting an important conversation on gun violence prevention. I joined the panel to talk about survivor support, equitable funding for community organizations, and the role of government to keep our communities safe.
There are over 500,000 veterans in Illinois, and I want to make sure that none of them are forgotten. Access to high-quality, reasonably priced healthcare is a right for all veterans. This includes having access to the top VA clinics, mental health services, and hospitals.
Our kids deserve healthy food that fuels their bodies and minds, which is why nutrition programs are essential. I introduced a bipartisan bill to support Food is Medicine programs that improve health through nutrition while lowering healthcare costs.
For nearly 60 years, South Siders were promised a CTA train station. Today, that promise finally became reality. The @chicagocta.bsky.social Red Line Extension means shorter commutes, greater access to jobs, and investments in a far South Side too often left behind.
Gun violence continues to devastate families across the country. We owe it to every survivor and every loved one lost to push for policy to end this epidemic. I’m holding the gun industry accountable through my Responsible Firearms Marketing Act and Firearm Safety Act bills.
Trump’s ICE & deportation quotas hurt real people. They’re our friends, teachers, business owners, & neighbors. ICE needs to be dismantled to keep families safe, respect dignity, & support the community. I won’t stop fighting in Congress for real immigration reform that reflects those principles.
My grandparents owned a mom-and-pop store, so I know the power of small businesses in our communities. When we support small business owners, we’re investing in our neighborhoods and building a stronger, more resilient economy for us all.
Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Law, millions of Americans risk losing their SNAP benefits. With grocery, gas, and housing costs continuing to rise, families will now have to fight even harder to put food on the table.
While Speaker Johnson and House Republicans prioritize a costly, escalating foreign war in Iran, hardworking families in our district are struggling. Congress should prioritize healthcare, food security, and lowering costs of living.
Today on School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, we celebrate the bus drivers who keep our children safe as they commute to and from school. Their dedication to helping families, schools, and students thrive does not go unnoticed and is truly appreciated.
Earth Day serves as a reminder that we all share the responsibility of protecting our planet. I’m fighting against Republicans’ attempts to dismantle environmental protections and working to lower energy costs, stop polluters, and invest in a sustainable future.
Access to quality and affordable healthcare is under attack by the Trump administration. President Trump is placing the greatest burden on those who can least afford it while giving tax breaks to billionaires. Congress must protect the millions of Americans who are at risk of losing healthcare.
Rep. David Scott dedicated his career fighting for farmers & hardworking families. He made history as the first Black House Agriculture Committee Chair and used his powerful position to serve Georgia. My heart is with his wife Alfredia, his family, and his staff as they mourn his loss.
