Our service members deserve safe, effective equipment that best allows them to serve this nation and protect our communities. With a Democratic majority in our House, we’ll have a crucial opportunity to support them and our local economy simultaneously.

Earlier this year, Nikki introduced the BOOTS Act, securing a multi-million dollar investment to support small businesses in Central and Southern Illinois. This investment will ensure our military members have high-quality, American-made footwear that meets the rigorous demands of training and deployment.

With this commonsense, bipartisan bill, we can support local businesses like the Belleville Shoe Manufacturing Company. This means more good-paying jobs and well-crafted goods — made right here in America — for our service members.

We need fighters like Nikki who are willing to work across the aisle for good bills like this one that not only support small businesses in Central and Southern Illinois, but also support our troops by providing them with durable, comfortable, American-made footwear. 

Will you pitch in right now to help us keep Nikki fighting for us in Washington?

With this bill, we’re not just helping businesses flourish; we’re ensuring that our troops have the best equipment possible. This is a chance to show that we value both our service members and our local entrepreneurs. Our team is committed to keeping American-made products thriving!

Thank you for your unwavering support.

With gratitude,

 — Team Nikki
