    I had a great time stopping by Kroger in Peoria to ask folks what’s on their minds and find out what they want me to fight for in Congress. There’s a lot of concern over the high cost of healthcare.

    I had a great time touring the Roosevelt Community Education Center in Rockford, which truly goes above and beyond for their students. Roosevelt offers day care services and credit recovery programs to ensure all students are able to finish their education. Thanks for having me!

    We are a nation of laws and it is an outright lie for anyone to say Democrats want open borders. While Democrats have been fighting for comprehensive immigration reform, Washington Republicans sat on their hands and refused to allow a vote. My statement 👇

    I had a great time speaking with the Peoria Airport, business leaders, local elected officials & my colleague about the importance of the airport to our economy. I’ll continue to fight for federal funds that create jobs and ensure we remain competitive.
