    The families of our fallen heroes have already sacrificed so much & we should ensure grieving spouses receive the support they need. That’s why I'm proud my bill, extending protections to Gold Star Families, is heading to POTUS’ desk.

    Extremely disappointed & POTUS refused to support the bipartisan funding bill. Rather than working w/ both parties to keep the govt. open, they're playing partisan politics w/ the well-being of Illinois families & pushing us closer to a shutdown. This was avoidable.

    The provides our farmers with the support they need to put food on our plates. Although this process was far from perfect, I'm glad we were able to pass a bipartisan Farm Bill that provides our growers and producers with some certainty during these turbulent times.

    I am proud to have my bill included in the 2018 that helps rural communities combat the opioid epidemic by providing them the tools and resources they need to fight back.

    The farm bill conference report prioritizes our fight against opioid addiction.

    Yesterday, I introduced legislation to honor the women who served in the Cadet Nurse Corps during WWII. It is only right that we recognize their actions and sacrifices, both at home and abroad, and grant them honorary veteran status. Our country is grateful for your service!
