I always say that IL-06 is home to the most talented individuals, and hearing from Olympian speed skater Sarah Warren was proof of that. Her story, her grit, and her commitment to representing the district show exactly what makes our community so special.

As families across the U.S. face rising housing costs, I was proud to help pass the Housing for the 21st Century Act, a bipartisan bill to make homeownership more attainable for Americans. This bill represents an important first step toward addressing our nation’s affordable housing crisis.

The Trump Administration claims the Treasury has authority over Venezuelan assets.
I asked Treasury Secretary Bessent directly what grants him this authority.
He seemed to have no idea that he controlled these assets, let alone the authority behind them.

There are actions Congress can take right now to hold the Supreme Court accountable.We must use every constitutionally granted power to check them when they fail the American people.
