Fighting for working families is my life's work. It's why I joined the labor movement. And it’s why I just took an oath to serve the constituents of Illinois’ 13th Congressional District. Thank you for placing your trust in me to serve our communities. Let's get to work!

Congress has a responsibility to support the farmers who feed and fuel America. I join @GovPritzker and @rep_jackson in calling on @HouseAgGOP to come back to the table and negotiate a bipartisan Farm Bill.

Families across #IL13 rely on the USPS to pay their bills on time, receive critical medications and get their paychecks. Postmaster General DeJoy MUST reconsider his proposed changes to delivery times that would worsen delays in rural communities. Read my letter with @RepGolden :

47 years ago, the 1977 Food Stamp Act established the SNAP program that we know today, expanding access to nutrition assistance for countless families. No child in America should go hungry, and I won't stop working to pass a bipartisan Farm Bill that protects this lifeline.

Manufacturing supports more than 600,000 good-paying jobs across Illinois. It was great to chat with @IMA_Today about my support for workforce development and recent federal investments in #IL13 that will help grow our manufacturing capacity for decades to come!

Food and building service workers are the backbone of UIUC, working around the clock to keep campus running. As a proud union member, I stand in solidarity with the @SEIULocal73 workers as they fight for a living wage and a fair contract.

At yesterday's @VetAffairsDems hearing, we heard from veteran family caregivers about the challenges they face. Last year, I was proud to help pass the Elizabeth Dole Home Care Act to expand access to home and community-based care and support these incredible caregivers.

Passing a bipartisan Farm Bill is essential to support Illinois family farmers and protect America's Heartland. It's time for @HouseAgGOP to work across the aisle to create a Farm Bill we can all agree on. Read my op-ed with @GovPritzker and @rep_jackson :

Too many of our nation's service members come home with invisible wounds. I was grateful to attend a bipartisan roundtable today focused on eradicating military sexual trauma and to hear firsthand from survivors about how we can support them.

I'm proud to participate in #CongressGoesPurple to honor National Recovery Month. Substance use and mental health disorders touch countless families in Illinois and across the country, and we must continue to work together to end the stigma and support those in recovery.

I'm thrilled to see $500 MILLION going toward research on the unique health issues affecting servicewomen. I was proud to support this funding in Congress and it's crucial that we continue to make these investments in women service members and veterans.

The best way to improve VA services is to hear from folks navigating the process firsthand. I introduced a bill with @RepBrownley to help the VA gather feedback from veterans, family members and caregivers to build trust & ensure our veterans get the excellent care they deserve.

Postmaster DeJoy's "Delivering for America" plan is dangerous for our communities - especially folks in rural areas who are already facing slowdowns. He must do more to ensure that everyone who votes by mail has their ballot counted.

A federal disaster declaration for St. Clair County means more resources for folks to repair their homes and businesses, cover property losses and recover from July's flooding. To apply for assistance, visit or call 1-800-621-3362.
