Proudly serving Illinois' 2nd Congressional District since 2013
This month’s job report proves what folks feel every day: bills are up, and jobs are difficult to find.
Meanwhile, Vance and Trump give the economy an A++++.
They are profoundly disconnected from reality.

Too many Americans are dying from gun violence. It’s a public health crisis.
I will keep pushing for action with survivors and advocates, like Maria Pike who lost her son to gun violence, so our kids can go to school, parks, and work without fear.

The year is ending, but the healthcare crisis isn’t.
ACA tax credits that help families afford coverage are about to expire. No one should choose between groceries and healthcare.
Everyone deserves quality, affordable healthcare.
I won’t stop fighting for it.

ICE claimed it was going after the “worst of the worst,” but the numbers tell a different story.
Out of 614 arrests in Operation Midway Blitz, only 16 had prior convictions or posed serious risks. Tragically, many families are separated this holiday season.

Healthcare shouldn’t put families in impossible financial decisions.
Too many Americans skip needed care or face skyrocketing premiums because costs keep rising.

Maternal health is more than one appointment. It is about a healthcare system that listens, respects women, and builds trust.
When doctors reflect the women they serve, the quality of care improves.

President Trump is increasing prices for groceries, rent, and gas while handing out tax breaks to billionaires.
We need an economy that works for everyone, not just for billionaires and Trump allies.

When rent, groceries, and gas cost more, why make student loans harder to pay? The Trump Administration is ending the SAVE plan that helped 7 million students pay off their loans.
This is going to push so many people into debt.

I hear from families every day who will pay more for their 2026 health insurance but will receive less coverage.
Higher premiums.
Higher deductibles.
No one should have to choose between paying bills and seeing a doctor.

Healthcare costs are too high.
Speaker Johnson had the opportunity to work with @housedemocrats.bsky.social last week to extend ACA tax credits, but instead, he went on a holiday vacation.
His failure puts families' health at risk now and for years to come.

Families are facing challenges to make ends meet.
Yet House Republicans keep focusing on what their billionaire donors want, not lowering the cost for the people they represent.

Trump can call the affordability crisis “a hoax,” but the numbers don’t lie:
46% of Americans say the cost of living is worse.
55% of Americans blame Trump for high grocery prices.
Trump’s ignorance isn’t going to lower costs for families.

The United States has driven meaningful progress in reducing pediatric HIV/AIDS. But we have more work to do.
That’s why I introduced a resolution with @robinkelly.house.gov and @pocan.house.gov during HIV Awareness Month to reaffirm our commitment to ending pediatric HIV/AIDS.

Black Americans have been underrepresented in clinical trials for far too long. The NIH Clinical Trial Integrity Act, which I am reintroducing, will improve diversity in our clinical trials so that our nation’s leading experts can produce more accurate treatments for everyone.

One of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s last Congressional actions is to attack trans kids. That’s shameful.
Her bill would throw doctors and parents in prison for providing evidence-based care to trans kids.
