Big Oil is raking in record profits as families struggle with high prices at the pump. Today, I voted to reduce fuel costs by cracking down on price gouging -- and I'll keep pushing for more ethanol blending to bolster our fuel supply, reduce emissions & cut costs for families.

No American should feel afraid to go grocery shopping, go to school or practice their religion because of domestic terrorists.

This evening, I voted to provide law enforcement agencies with the tools and resources to combat these threats and keep Americans safe.

@AP4d

The House has passed legislation in response to the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that would devote more federal resources to preventing domestic terrorism. A similar measure in 2020 failed to make it through the Senate. http://apne.ws/aJHqvX7

Cheri is a proud mother and grandmother. Here she is pictured with her husband, Gerry Bustos, and her three sons.
Created in 2009, the Congressional Women’s Softball Game brings together women from both parties to raise awareness for breast cancer. In 2013, her first year on the team, Cheri was named Most Valuable Player.
The Illinois Hospital Association named Cheri the 2016 Rural Legislator of the Year. Cheri’s previous work in the healthcare industry led her to become a strong advocate for small and rural hospitals and the services they provide to communities across Illinois.
Cheri works hard every day to honor the sacrifices of veterans and service members. On Memorial Day this year, she spoke at the LZ Peace Memorial in Rockford, honoring those who fought in Vietnam and died from the effects of Agent Orange.
Cheri strongly supports normalizing relationships with Cuba to benefit Illinois’ agriculture economy, and joined President Obama on his trip to Cuba in March. Pictured here with the other Illinois delegates and the family of Jackie Robinson, Cheri used the trip as an opportunity to explore developing commerce and agricultural relationships between Illinois and Cuba.
Cheri is proud to work with Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer on the Make It In America agenda, the House Democrats’ ongoing plan to better address the challenges facing America’s families and middle class, and make sure everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
As a member of the House Transportation Committee, Cheri often works with partners across the aisle to bring necessary change to our country’s transportation system. In 2015, she helped lead the fight to pass the first long-term highway funding bill in 10 years.
As a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, Cheri is a strong voice for family farmers in our region, making sure their voices are heard on the national level.
As an advocate for female-owned small businesses and closing the gender wage gap, Cheri was thrilled to have the opportunity to meet Lilly Ledbetter, who spearheaded the fight for equal pay that led to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
