Some personal news on a day where there's clearly nothing going on in Washington. Excited for this next role as Chief of Staff with @RepNikkiB . Couldn't be more honored to work for such a stellar member!

[Defend The Vote @DTVPAC]

Leadership.

@RepNikkiB is stepping up to take on corruption, bring accountability to Congress, and put the public interest ahead of insiders.

I couldn’t be more honored that voters have chosen me to keep fighting for them in Washington.

Breaking NBC:

Jeanine Pirro's office has decided to stop pursuing the case against six Democratic lawmakers who urged members of the military and intelligence communities in a social media video not to comply with unlawful orders, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News. https://t.co/15SXU5g5kS

[Rep. Nikki Budzinski @RepNikkiB]

The decision to restart one of the furnaces at Granite City Works is good news – it shows that our advocacy and collective action make a difference. We’re going to keep fighting for the long-term commitment and investments that Granite City deserves.

Working harder than House Republicans.

[Rep. Nikki Budzinski @RepNikkiB]

I'm closely monitoring this terrible news out of Chatham.

As information continues to develop, I encourage everyone to stay alert and follow all directions from local officials.

Keeping this community and the families impacted in my thoughts and prayers.

[Nikki Budzinski @NikkiBudzinski]

My thoughts on President Trump's address 🔽

You can’t say you love farmers when you are disrupting their markets and financial livelihoods with misguided tariffs.

You can’t talk about helping children with cancer when you gut the NIH and end clinical trials.

You can’t honor our military when you dismantle veterans’ services and fire veterans working across federal departments.

You can’t champion children with disabilities when you want to abolish the Department of Education.

You can’t support the police when you pardon January 6th criminals who attacked law enforcement.

I stand ready to find common ground with Republicans to solve these important issues – but President Trump's policies are taking us backward.

[Rep. Nikki Budzinski @RepNikkiB]

I joined @kaylatausche on @CNNThisMorning to discuss President Trump’s reckless cuts to the federal workforce. This administration, in their rush to make decisions, are clearly making mistakes – like firing the experts at the CDC and USDA in charge of tackling the bird flu.

[Rep. Nikki Budzinski @RepNikkiB]

Unelected billionaires like Elon Musk may not suffer the consequences of a shutdown – but countless Americans will.

We need to pass a funding bill and ensure critical services remain operational.

[Max Cohen @maxpcohen]

Budzinski fans- take a deep breath. Normality has resumed in that race.

[Nikki Budzinski @NikkiBudzinski]

It was amazing to have @JasmineForUS with us in East St. Louis today to rally voters and talk about the importance of this election. Thank you to @senatorbelt @GreenwoodRep and everyone who joined us to get folks out to the polls to vote early! 🗳️

[John Lee @johnlee628]

Couldn't be more proud to share with voters all that @NikkiBudzinski has accomplished in her first term! She's just getting started!

[Nikki Budzinski @NikkiBudzinski]

From Belleville Boots to SiliCorn Valley, I’ve spent my first term supporting good-paying jobs right here in Central and Southern Illinois.

Check out my campaign’s new digital ad about my fight for a future that’s Made in America:

The annual @AnheuserBusch #BrewDemocracy Cup is a celebration of America's beer industry - from the farmers who grow hops and barley to brewers like @HomeOfBud in St. Louis. Vote for my bipartisan brew with @ZachNunn, "This BudZ For You," by texting “Beer” to tel:[phone]!

Could not be more thankful to the Biden Administration for designating the Springfield Race Riot Monument and so proud of my boss @RepNikkiB for pushing to get it across the finish line!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

By designating the Springfield 1908 Race Riot National Monument, we're ensuring that when our kids and grandkids walk by this area, they know what happened here.

They learn history.

And they’ll understand that it can happen again if we don’t fight for this democracy.

[Rep. Nikki Budzinski @RepNikkiB]

Sonya Massey should be alive today.

Tonight I spoke on the House floor to reiterate the call for justice and accountability that Sonya and her family deserve, and that our community needs to heal.

[Rep. Nikki Budzinski @RepNikkiB]

Like everyone who has seen the footage of Sonya Massey’s murder, I’m shocked, horrified and heartbroken. This was an act of senseless and unjustifiable violence — and it is an affront to our humanity. Read my full statement below:

[Nikki Budzinski @NikkiBudzinski]

Joe Biden has been the most productive and consequential president of my lifetime. His leadership has allowed us to deliver historic investments to communities in Central and Southern Illinois that will benefit working people for generations to come.

I thank him for his lifetime of public service and for putting our country first as he passes the baton to Vice President Harris. It’s time that we come together and defeat Donald Trump in November.
