The countdown to the election is here

Friend, the countdown is on. Today marks 100 days until Election Day in November! We have a little over three months left in our campaign to keep IL-17 blue, and with it, flip the House majority to Democrats. That's why we've set a goal of bringing in 100 online donations between now and the end …

A summer recipe from my home to yours

Friend, With so much going on every day in Washington, where I’m fighting to put money back in your pocket and protect critical local and regional jobs, you can miss the small things from back home. For me, I’m truly grateful for any opportunity to be back in Illinois and able to make a home-c…

Friend, As if there wasn't enough going on, there’s a chance that the House will vote to get rid of the time change that occurs twice a year. Personally, I'm against it -- because I can hear the complaints already. Remember: We tried permanent Daylight Savings Time in the 70s, and it wasn't well-…
