Tweet - "Restaurants are the lifeblood of our cities. And they are still struggling with the fallout of this pandemic. It's a shame that Republicans won't replenish the SBA's Restaurant Revitalization Fund. They are letting so many hardworking Americans down."
03/17/2021
Tweet - "Even before COVID-19, 1 in 9 Illinoisans struggled with access to consistent meals. Today I heard from IL food banks about how the pandemic has only exacerbated the challenges they're facing. I'll keep doing everything I can to make sure Illinoisans have food on the table."
02/10/2021
Tweet - "Congress needs to be doing everything we can to help struggling American families keep food on their tables. That's why I am introducing legislation with @SenDuckworth and @SenateDems to increase access to online grocery shopping for SNAP beneficiaries."
01/15/2021
Tweet - "USDA food boxes are a lifeline for struggling Illinois families. It is unacceptable that some rural Illinois pantries got no food boxes last round. @USDA must improve rural food box deliveries to ensure this never happens again."

02/06/2019
Tweet - "For too long, Big Pharma has been protected from competition by govt-granted monopolies--enabling them to price-gouge patients with ever-higher costs for drugs, like insulin."
02/01/2019
Tweet - "Both the @FDACommissioner and @USSurgeonGeneral view the recent surge in youth use of e-cigarettes as an "epidemic." Apparently Altria and JUUL view it as a "business opportunity.""
01/09/2019
Tweet - "Because of the #TrumpShutdown, our nation's food supply may be less safe. Food safety experts have been furloughed and inspections of facilities have ceased. Is this how the President "protects" Americans?"
