Achievements

In Illinois

Neighbors look out for one another.

I did every day as your meteorologist, and that’s why in Congress I've work to be a good neighbor to everyone in the 17th District and make sure my office is transparent and responsive. 

Since becoming your Representative in Congress, I have:

  • 17 bills and amendments introduced

  • 149 bills cosponsored, 75% bipartisan

  • 30,000+ constituent letters answered

  • 818 constituent cases resolved

  • $810,597 brought back to the district

  • 729 meetings with constituents, stakeholders, and community leaders.

As your trusted neighbor in Congress, I know that the small things in our community can add up to big change.

Legislative Wins for Illinois’ 17th

Every day, I will keep fighting to deliver new, critical wins for my neighbors in IL-17. Here are just a few recent accomplishments for the district that I’m proud of:

  • Led over 40 members in advocating against cuts to funding for local police departments in Congressional budgets.
  • Helped introduce the PRO Act to push back against anti-worker laws and protect workers’ right to organize.
  • Introduced efforts to lower drug prices by cracking down on Big Pharma dirty tactics that hurt competition and prevent affordable drugs from being available at your local pharmacy.
  • Worked with the FCC in stopping scam robocalls and texts that target seniors.
  • Authored two amendments to a major immigration package to strengthen our southern border and prevent the spread of deadly drugs like fentanyl into the country.
  • Helped require that American flags purchased by the government actually be made in the USA.
  • Introduced the ONSHORE Act to keep more manufacturing jobs, companies, and facilities from being moved overseas.
