Scientist. Businessman. Proud to represent the 11th Congressional District of Illinois.
Open enrollment begins today. Because of Republican inaction, millions of Americans are facing health insurance premiums that have doubled or even tripled.

It’s time for Republicans to cut their vacation short and work with Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits that keep coverage affordable.

SNAP will run out of money by the end of this week. Trump can prevent this, but he simply doesn't want to.

I joined my Democratic colleagues in demanding Trump and Secretary Rollins use money already approved by Congress to fund SNAP through November so that families don't go hungry.

ICE’s actions in Illinois are nothing short of an assault on our state’s autonomy and the safety of our communities. It’s clear that the Trump Administration’s goal isn’t to enforce the law—it’s to intimidate hardworking immigrant families.

Farmers across the country are hurting right now. One of our biggest export markets hasn't bought a single American soybean since May, and what is the president doing about it?

Sending our competitor a $20 billion taxpayer-funded bailout.

Working families are reaching their boiling point. Republicans need to cut their vacation short, come back to DC, and extend ACA tax credits before premiums skyrocket.

After I won my special election, I was sworn in three days later.

It’s been 21 days since Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva won her special election, and Speaker Johnson has yet to swear her in.

Speaker Johnson, swear her in.
