🚨 Huge win for our district!
The House passed a bill with $27.8 million that I secured for local projects — an investment that will have a real, lasting impact on our community’s safety and well-being.

For months, I fought to bring a bill to the House floor to extend the ACA tax credits and prevent millions from losing their health insurance.
Tonight, I was proud to cast my “YES” vote 🚨 and the Senate should act immediately to lower costs.

I refuse to let big corporations rip off families who are just trying to make ends meet 🚨

Five years ago President Trump incited a violent attack on the United States Capitol in an attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power. Thanks to the bravery of the Capitol Police and other law enforcement, this insurrection failed.

President Trump’s immigration policies aren’t about safety – they’re about intimidation. Deploying masked agents to terrorize immigrant communities isn’t just dangerous – it’s an affront to our democratic values. I will always stand up for Illinoisans against these abuses of power.

The President has just sidestepped Congress, launched a strike on Venezuela, and deployed U.S. troops. This is an act of war. Any member of Congress who respects the Constitution should be outraged by this reckless escalation. (1/2)
