Over the weekend, I visited the Brandon Road Lock & Dam over the Des Plaines River in Joliet, which will play a key role in protecting the Great Lakes from invasive Asian Carp. Another massive win for Illinois--and the entire region--in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
01/29/2022

12/16/2021
Tweet - "Illinois has more lead pipes and service lines than any other state, so I am glad to see the Biden Administration is moving quickly to implement this key aspect of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal. Every Illinoisan and American should have access to clean drinking water."
12/14/2021
Tweet - "I know I speak for millions of Americans when I say that our hearts go out to all those who perished in Friday's tornados, and all those they leave behind. Grateful for Pres. Biden's quick response to this terrible disaster. Communities across Illinois and Kentucky thank you."
12/14/2021
Tweet - "Glad to see @POTUS has approved @GovPritzker 's emergency declaration request for Illinois, which was support by myself and the entire delegation. Severe weather and tornadoes left a trail of destruction through a large part of our state--this federal aid is desperately needed."
