I enjoyed meeting with young leaders of the Illinois FFA in D.C. to discuss policies that will support them and the future of agriculture in Illinois. I am committed to ensuring they have the resources they need to fuel innovation, be competitive in global markets, and continue

The One Big Beautiful Bill jumpstarts our economy by slashing red tape, lowering taxes, and supporting Main Street. This bill creates high-paying jobs to build a more prosperous future for Illinois families. This bill is a win for #IL16 and communities across the country.

To confront the generational threat posed by our foreign adversaries, the U.S. must invest in our military to deter further aggression. I voted for the FY 2026 Defense Appropriations Act to deliver critical resources to our armed forces and maintain our strategic advantage.

The CCP's relentless pursuit of expanding overseas military bases threatens U.S. national security and stability in the Pacific. I'm proud to co-lead the bipartisan COUNTER Act to provide resources to combat the CCP's basing activities while protecting our regional interests.

Fentanyl continues to wreak havoc in communities across Illinois and the country, claiming thousands of lives each year. I applaud President Trump's signing of the HALT Fentanyl Act to tackle this crisis. It is critical we keep the momentum going.

President Donald J. Trump officially signs the HALT Fentanyl Act into law — permanently classifying fentanyl-related substances as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act. This bill will save lives.

JB Pritzker’s solution to cover the $2.5 billion spent on illegal immigrants in our state?. Raise taxes on Illinoisans. While he continues to double down on failed sanctuary state policies at the expense of Illinoians’ tax dollars and safety, @HouseGOP is enforcing the rule of

Once again, border crossings are at record lows. The One Big Beautiful Bill only builds on this momentum! @HouseGOP and @POTUS are committed to supporting border patrol agents, stopping the flow of drugs, and protecting our communities.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is one of the most pro-family pieces of legislation in history. Congressional Republicans and the Trump Administration delivered the largest increase in take home pay and extended the child tax credit to support families across #IL16 and the country.

Republicans were elected on two core issues: fixing the unmitigated disaster at our southern border and strengthening our economy. The One Big Beautiful Bill does both. This landmark bill revives the economy and makes the largest-ever investment in border security.

The CCP is not just a competitor—it is an adversary that seeks to threaten our national security at every level. We must ensure that we increase oversight over U.S. farmland owned by foreign adversaries. Any foreign investment in U.S. agricultural land must be properly reported.

.@SecRollins: "The Chinese owning of farmland in our country is a massive national security issue. The states have begun taking a leadership role to ban the purchasing of China farmland. Obviously, Congress needs to step up and catch up."

When @HouseGOP passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, we codified 28 of President Trump's executive orders!. Together, we are securing our border, strengthening U.S. national security, and unleashing American energy.
