“Two years ago, voters in Central and Southern Illinois placed their faith in me to go to Congress and work across the aisle to get things done for our communities. I’m so honored that my constituents have seen my record of results and given me the opportunity to keep fighting for them. I’ll continue to cut through the political noise and nonsense to support working families, lower costs and secure our southern border. And I’ll push back on any efforts to undermine our democracy or restrict the fundamental rights and freedoms we hold dear.”
