I want to thank the people of Illinois’ Third District for giving me the honor and privilege to serve you and our nation for 16 years. Our team was able to get a tremendous amount of work done in DC & at home to help a lot of people and make the district and America better. [1/4]
America is not perfect, because humans can never be perfect. But we must pray and work every day that each of us and our nation better uphold the principle of equality, and that we better protect life and liberty every day for all, especially the most vulnerable. [3/4]
With God’s grace, we will do that, and be that shining city on the hill. God bless you and God bless America. youtube.com/watch?v=uDKW1aIb… [4/4]
“He is known for his work on transportation and science issues, advocating for anti-abortion legislation and his membership in the Problem Solvers Caucus, a group seeking common ground in the highly polarized House.”

Good governance requires making trade-offs, but political decision-making today avoids these tough choices especially when it comes to spending Americans’ tax dollars. We cannot afford to have Washington continue this business as usual. chicagotribune.com/opinion/c…

I’m proud to have represented @Argonne including leading calls to fund their supercomputers. Take a look at the important work #IL03 researchers have done the past year.
From COVID-19 research to massive engine simulations, @argonne supercomputers powered a number of groundbreaking studies in 2020.
As 2021 approaches, we take a look back at some of the impactful research carried out by ALCF users over the past year.

Today, I voted against the $435B CASH Act because we cannot continue to endlessly dig our national debt hole deeper. I was proud to support the COVID relief bill last week, which President Trump thankfully decided to sign yesterday.
Deficit spending during this pandemic is absolutely necessary. If more aid is needed next year, Congress can work on providing that. But fiscal year 2020 (which ended September 30, 2020) recorded a $3.1 trillion deficit which was more than double the previous record.
Just received my 1st COVID19 vaccine dose. I’ve been careful the past 9 months since as a diabetic I’m at high risk. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but we all need to do our part to avoid getting/spreading COVID. Please get the vaccine when it’s available & keep masking

We are proud that emergency bipartisan pandemic relief, following our work with our Senate partners, will get to the Presidents desk today.
This is what democracy should look like. Because the Problem Solvers came together to keep pushing forward, help is finally on its way.
It took a month of frenzied negotiations by a bipartisan group of moderate lawmakers and intense bargaining by party leaders to produce the $900 billion pandemic relief bill that Congress passed on Monday.

From onset of the investigation into the Boeing 737 Max crashes, I repeatedly said something went terribly wrong in the certification of the plane & Congress must do all we can to fix it. Pleased we passed legislation yesterday to improve air travel safety bit.ly/3h7FjiI
The #WRDA bill passed by Congress yesterday authorizes many water infrastructure projects critical for our nation. Several local victories, including protecting the #GreatLakes from invasive AsianCarp at Brandon Road & environmental cleanup of #BubblyCreek bit.ly/3avXTjh
Pleased a bipartisan pipeline safety reauth bill will become law. This was 1 of my top priorities this Congress & glad members heeded my advice & came to a compromise to improve the safety of our pipeline system and address the problem of methane emissions bit.ly/2WzcRNt
The Energy Act of 2020 passed tonight will lay a foundation for new clean energy technologies, fighting #climatechange while creating American jobs. I’m proud of a provision I authored to advance #geothermal, which has huge potential in IL. bit.ly/37CoOZ1
