Thank you ZERO Cancer for having me as the Mission Speaker for this year's Prostate Cancer Run/Walk. I lost my father and grandfather to this disease. I cannot overstate the importance of preventative and quality care, as it saved my life. #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth

We rely on our farmers to feed families and drive our agricultural economy, and they shouldn't have to overpay to protect their crops. I'm proud of our work to protect farmers’ access to affordable options and to prevent anticompetitive practices: tinyurl.com/57z4cvmy

Today’s naturalization ceremony at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field recognizes that we are a nation made up of individuals of diverse cultures. Chicago’s 77 communities reflect that diversity. This fuels my drive to protect immigrant rights.

As I said on the Chicago Report last night, the Trump administration's public charge rule would affect whether or not people have healthcare, in many cases for children who are citizens. This rule is heartless and inconsistent w/ what Congress passed over 100 years ago. vimeo.com/1229232039?s...

Forcing aging coal plants slated for closure to keep operating harms our progress toward building more clean energy and harms ratepayers. I’m pleased a federal court agreed that the Department of Energy overstepped its authority and recognized the states' control over power generation.

The court’s decision is a victory for voters, for democracy and for the rule of law in this country. I am pleased that the Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts’ decisions to stop this un-American rule from taking effect and creating chaos before the midterms.
