This bill builds on my #EndForcedArbitration law and is one step closer to @POTUS’ desk! Lightbox link for post with description I was excited to join my colleague and friend...

My heart is heavy today after hearing that my colleague, Congressman Donald McEachin, passed away last night.

Rep. McEachin was a good man & a fearless leader to the people of Virginia & the U.S. for over 26 years. My thoughts are with his loved ones and staff mourning his loss.

Today I begin my final local media tour in Northwest and Central Illinois! While bittersweet, I’m excited to meet with our local reporters to discuss my 10 years in service.

Stay tuned for updates! 🧵

So very proud of my husband, who I met when I was a rookie reporter & he was a rookie cop. He signed off on the air for the last time today after 40 years in law enforcement — 38 with the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office. He has served our community with dignity & respect. ❤️ Lightbox link for post with description So very proud of my husband, who I met when I was...

I’m heartbroken waking up to the news of another mass shooting, this time at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia, two days before Thanksgiving.

Enough is enough. This is the 606th mass shooting of the year and the 31st in just the last 22 days.

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.
