This morning, Republicans will push the ā€œSAVEā€ Act, which requires a passport or a birth certificate with a photo ID to vote. It would disenfranchise 2.5 MILLION women in Illinois — because their married name would not match their birth certificate. This is voter suppression.

Republican leadership told their members not to host town hall. That’s not right. I’m hosting a town hall in Pontiac — right on the border of my district and Rep. Darin LaHood’s — so everyone can be heard. See you there: forms.gle/HKcGGHnx8KpbFK…

Twelve years ago today, I took my first Oath of Office to serve the Second District. It’s still the best job I’ve ever had. Then and now, I promise to always put my constituents first.

Chag Pesach Sameach to all celebrating in the Second District. As people across the world gather with their loved ones around the Seder table, may we be inspired by the strength of the Jewish people and their fight for freedom.

For every meal food banks provide, SNAP provides 9—but Republicans want to cut SNAP by $230 billion. I toured Free-N-Deed Market, a food pantry in Dolton, to hear how they’d be affected by SNAP cuts. I’m passing on their message to Republicans: SNAP is essential to put food on

Students evacuated Florida State University today with hands above their heads in response to an active shooter. My heart is with the FSU community as we continue to learn more. I will never accept gun violence as normal. Enough is enough.

The American people are engaged and speaking out — and I’m listening to them. I hosted a town hall last night in Pontiac to hear my constituents’ questions about the Farm Bill, public education, and the direction of our democracy. I’m bringing their concerns back to DC.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate in the Second District! I hope your day is full of joy with loved ones — and maybe an egg hunt or two.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Pope Francis. With a compassionate spirit, His Holiness used a healing hand to lift up the most vulnerable among us. His legacy will live on in hearts around the world. May he rest in peace

We need a serious civilian leader as the head of our military. Sec. Pete Hegseth was unqualified for the position as Secretary of Defense and has made it clear that he does not take the security of our nation seriously with repeated security failures. He must resign or be fired.
