Honored to speak at Peoria Riverfront Museum’s opening of The Promise of Liberty as we mark America’s 250th anniversary. The collection on display isn’t just history, it’s the DNA of our country. I hope you can check it out this year! 🇺🇸

Illinois and the United States is better today because of Jesse Jackson. A protégé of Martin Luther King, he dedicated his life to lifting up the poor and bringing hope to marginalized people.
I am grateful for the Reverend Jesse Jackson and a life dedicated to civil rights.

$825,000 is coming home for firefighter training in the Sauk Valley!
I’ve been fighting for this funding for years, all so firefighters have the tools and training they need when seconds matter.

Republicans’ “Save America Act” doesn’t save us from anything. Instead, it will block millions of eligible Americans from registering to vote. Our democracy only works if every citizen has the ability to participate in the voting process.

A Quad Citizen, through and through, Frank Klipsch was a genuine leader. I will remember his kindness, his impact leading the Scott County Family YMCA for decades, and his service to Davenport as Mayor. From the Illinois side of the river, my deepest sympathies. www.wqad.com/article/news...

DID YOU KNOW? The longest continuously operated bakery in Illinois is in Peoria Heights!
Trefzger’s has been serving the Peoria area for 165 years and business is going strong.
So proud to support small businesses who are the heart and soul of Illinois. (Thumbprint cookies are to die for!)

Family farmers and working families are paying the price for bad trade policy.
That’s why I introduced the Farm and Family Relief Act—to lower costs, protect farmers, and help families afford the cost of life.

I led a roundtable in Peoria with local leaders, nonprofits, and neighbors to talk about affordable housing and homelessness.
We’ve made progress by securing funding for local housing projects, but we still have a lot of work to do to fight the challenges impacting the housing market.

What a great time hearing from residents at Heritage Woods in Moline!
Listening and learning from seniors reminds me how important it is to support dignity, compassion, and quality care for neighbors at any age.

Visited the Amazon Hub at the Greater Rockford Airport to learn more about day-to-day operations and the jobs driving our regional economy.

I was honored to receive the “People’s Champion Award” from our friends at the Communications Workers of America in Rockford today.
Grateful to hear directly from them about their priorities. I’ll always stand with working people and fight for fair pay, strong unions, and respect on the job.
