In March, I was proud to secure over $12.5 million in funding for projects across our district and I've been fighting to secure an additional $31 million for local projects. From renovating Metra’s Edgebrook Station and making essential repairs at Sheil and Pulaski Parks to constructing a pedestrian bridge in Mount Prospect and beyond, this funding will have a real impact on our communities. I also helped bring home over $900 million for transportation in and around Chicago. I’ve had the chance to visit many of the project sites from this year and years past and see this funding come to life.

While we have achieved so much this past year, our work has just begun. No matter what 2025 has in store, I will never compromise my convictions when it comes to protecting your fundamental rights, keeping our children safe, lowering costs, and safeguarding democracy. I know I am not alone in my fears about the future, yet I also know this: We cannot despair. This is the time to roll up our sleeves.

As always, I’m honored to serve you in Congress and will keep fighting for you and for our country.

P.S. There's still time to submit your answers to my media survey. I'm hoping to learn how people in our community are learning about the things that matter to them.
