This #WomenInPublicOfficeDay, a woman is serving as vice president for the first time in history. Representation has come a long way, but there’s still work ahead. #TheFirstButNotTheLast

The average woman makes 82 cents for every dollar a man makes. The wage gap is even greater for Black, Native American, and Latina women. This #EqualPayDay, I remain committed to making sure ALL women receive equal pay for equal work.

I'm happy to announce that a capital project will improve the mobility of the people of the 2nd District. A resurfacing project from Central Park Ave. to Damen Ave. This construction will be funded by the Rebuild Illinois Program. Thanks, Governor JB Pritzker, for leading the way.

Today is a great day! My bill, the Illinois Way Forward Act, was signed into law. This provides certainty to immigrant communities and ends immigration detention centers contracts in Illinois. I will continue working, so immigrants can thrive, not live in fear.
