With more than a billion Catholics counting on him, Pope Leo still made time to vote back home in the First District!

Thank you, Holy Father, for reminding us that every voice matters. It's a true honor to call the first American pope my constituent!

Pope Leo will vote from the Vatican, by mail, in Illinois midterm election

That mail ballot had to travel a long way — from Joliet to the Vatican City, where Pope Leo XIV has led the Catholic church since white smoke appeared from the Sistine Chapel in May 2025.

Congratulations to President Lula da Silva on his reelection, and to the Brazilian people for shaping the future of their nation at the ballot box.

I look forward to deepening the partnership between our two countries for working families, democracy, and peace across our hemisphere. 🇧🇷

I’m proud to have earned a perfect 100 on the Human Rights Campaign‘s 119th Congressional Scorecard, because equality is a promise I made to every family in the First District.

While countless Americans face relentless attacks from this administration, I’ll keep standing with them on every vote!

What Hasan did at Fort Hood was evil and nothing excuses it, but a government that streams executions for public consumption is borrowing from the playbook of regimes like Iran.

America should show the world what the rule of law looks like, not put death on a livestream.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December.

As of today, the Big UGLY Bill's cuts to SNAP and Medicaid are hitting home for families across IL-01. If you or someone you love lost benefits or coverage, call (800) 843-6154 for SNAP or 1-877-805-5312 for Medicaid.

Be sure to share this so no one in our district is left without help.

Black youth deserve better than this! They deserve the same urgency, that any family in America would demand for their own child.

I stand with the Wells family in calling on The Justice Department to take a full, independent look at this case. We owe Nolan and his family no less than the truth!

A grand jury unanimously found that there was no evidence to support bringing charges in the death of Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old who was found dead after a Fourth of July trip with friends off the coast of Mississippi. https://cnn.it/4ycAJqi
