Team, I’m proud to announce that just last week, I introduced the Rebuild Rural America Act which addresses the specific challenges rural areas face, and increases opportunities for federal investments. By investing in economic development and rethinking how the federal government provides support to rural communities, this legislation ensures that vital funding and resources reach rural communities in need. From limited access to health care and high-speed internet to aging infrastructure and a rapidly changing economy, rural communities in Central and Southern Illinois are facing an onslaught of generational challenges. I came to Congress to fight for investment and support for our smallest cities and towns to help them survive and thrive in the 21st century — and I’m proud to introduce bold legislation to do just that. I’m continuing to deliver real results in Congress, but I’m in a vulnerable seat with a Republican challenger already running to flip this district red. Will you help make sure I’m able to keep fighting for you in the House by chipping in $3, $10, or whatever you can ahead of my campaign’s quarterly filing deadline?
I’m so grateful for your support – thank you for standing with me. – Nikki
