Another day as you pay the price and this administration is failing.

Farmers, who will begin their harvest shortly, can’t afford much more.

I’m going to keep fighting to lower your cost at the pump and keep money in your pocket.

It was an honor to join our community and send-off the first-ever Quad Cities Back the Blue flight!

Thank you to Greg Keller, the braintrust behind this effort, for your dedication to our local law enforcement and for allowing me to be a small part of the ceremony.

I look forward to being back for the next flight very soon!

Our firefighters need to know that the equipment they depend on will work when they need it most.

I was proud to stand with our brave first responders and announce a $1.5 million federal funding request to help East Moline Fire Department to do just that.

And thanks for the truck tour... it was fire!

25 years ago, we lost nearly 3,000 Americans. Sons and daughters, parents, neighbors—people who went to work on that clear morning like any other day.

Today, it’s important for me to be in my hometown, honoring the memories and recognizing the first responders, service members, and veterans who carry on that same spirit of service and patriotism to this day.

We remember, and we will .

Excited to see so many students at Service Academy Night last night!

While considering a service academy is no small decision, I have no doubt the young people of IL-17 have the discipline, intellectual curiosity, and calling to serve required to get the job done.

Best of luck to all our applicants!

American families have been paying for Trump’s reckless Iran war for SIX MONTHS now.

19 servicemembers have paid the ultimate sacrifice with 750 injured.

As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, the administration and the DOD continue to refuse to answer my questions on when this war will end.
