Yesterday, I voted YES on a War Powers Resolution to end the reckless war in Iran. Article I of the Constitution is clear, Congress has the sole authority to declare war. It is time for Congress to reclaim its constitutional responsibility and bring an end to a conflict that has driven up costs and created uncertainty for American families.

NEWS: We succeeded in passing a resolution to end the war in Iran. The president started a war without a plan, clear endgame, legal justification, or congressional authorization. This is an important step in putting a stop to this recklessness. cbsnews.com/news/house-ira…

I led a bipartisan effort with Rep. Fitzpatrick to support victims of sexual assault in public schools. Transparency in these investigations is essential to helping lawmakers evaluate how schools respond to sex-based discrimination.

As a member of Congress, I am proud to secure Community Project Funding for facilities in IL-06 that improve the day-to-day lives of constituents. In 2024, I advocated for UCP Seguin to receive federal dollars to update their facility. I recently visited UCP Seguin's community day site to continue to learn how Congress can better support the disability community and caregivers.

I was thrilled to return to Brookdale Lisle for an engaging conversation with residents. I shared an update on what’s happening in DC before opening the floor to a Q&A discussion. I am thankful to the residents for bringing such sharp insight and vital perspectives to the table.

I also learned about their large range of services to keep the 6th District healthy, including their community crisis response programs for local youth and families.

The president was convicted of falsifying business records. Now, as his wealth surges through crypto ventures, Republicans still can’t seem to answer whether sanctioned actors are funneling money through them. If this were a Democrat, Fox News would be running coverage and Republicans would already be demanding hearings. The silence says everything.
