Letter: Letter to the Hon. Jeanne Klinefelter Wilson, Acting Assistant Secretary of the Employee Benefits Security Administration - Democrats Criticize Proposed Labor Department Rule Weakening Tool to Advance Financial Interests of Workers and Retirees
08/24/2020
Social Media: Tweet - "Sen. McConnell should bring the Senate back to Washington to vote on the Delivering for America Act immediately. Whether it's meds, paychecks, or benefits like Social Security, millions of Americans rely on USPS. We owe it to them to keep the mail running on time."
08/20/2020
Social Media: Tweet - "Missed doses. Delayed care. Health risks. The efforts to undermine @USPS deliveries could drastically harm Illinoisans who rely on mail-order prescriptions. I wrote to orgs like @aarpillinois & @IHAhospitals to learn more about what's at stake for the communities they serve."
08/19/2020
Social Media: Tweet - "Postmaster General DeJoy needs to undo all the harmful changes he's made. Millions of Americans rely on @USPS to deliver their medications, paychecks, Social Security, and so much more. Any unnecessary delay is potentially devastating."
08/18/2020
Social Media: Tweet - "The President's attacks on @USPS are an attack on our nation's veterans and seniors. Is his re-election more important than delivering vets' their medications on time? Or than delivering social security checks to seniors? Senate Republicans will soon have to pick a side."
08/15/2020
Social Media: Tweet - "Yesterday was the 85th anniversary of Social Security, an earned bedrock program that millions rely on. The President's version of celebrating is to undermine the program via his recent executive order. Democrats stand committed to protecting this promise of a secure retirement."
08/10/2020
Letter: Letter to Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader; Charles Schumer, Senate Minority Leader; Richard Shelby, Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee; and Patrick Leahy, Vice Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee - Collins, Gillibrand Lead Bipartisan Call for Funding for OAA Programs In Next COVID-19 Package to Help Older Adults

07/30/2020
Social Media: Tweet - ". @SenDuckworth & I spoke w/IL senior living facility CEOs about the difficulties they face in securing PPE. Months into this crisis, the Trump Admin still doesn't have a plan to ensure testing & PPE for frontline workers & vulnerable communities. Our seniors are suffering for it."
