Corruption is rampant in Washington – and that has to change.
Today, I’m unveiling an Anti-Corruption Agenda, demanding action in Congress to end Citizens United, ban insider trading and hold SCOTUS accountable. Here’s the plan.

@RepNikkiB
U.S. Rep. for IL's 13th District. Proudly serving on @HouseAgDems & @VetAffairsDems for Central & Southern IL. Vice Chair for Policy @NewDemCoalition.
- Inflation is at a four-year high. Gas is up. Groceries are up. And the President's response is "I love the inflation." Working families can't afford this — and they deserve better than that.
- This week, I had the opportunity to meet with the Southwestern Illinois Metro and Regional Planning Committee. We discussed local economic growth and how we can continue to grow jobs and opportunities throughout Southwestern Illinois.
- The best investment we can make in Illinois politics is training more women to run. I’m always grateful to sit down with the IWIL Training Academy – which prepares democratic women to pursue elected and appointed positions at all levels in Illinois – to talk about building that
- I am honored to be appointed co-chair of a new Energy Affordability Working Group alongside @RepMikeLevin focused on making energy affordable for working families. High utility bills and gas prices aren't inevitable — and I’m ready to get to work.
- Head Start educators show up every day for our youngest learners — they deserve good pay and benefits in return. That’s why I co-led a letter with 27 of my colleagues urging Head Start programs to safeguard educator compensation. These workers set our children on a bright future.
- Working families are paying more for groceries, gas, and rent — and the President's response today was "I love the inflation."

The Postal Service Caucus wants to thank all the participants and members who attended the Postal Service Caucus roundtable today. We look forward to continuing the conversation about how to support USPS in the coming months!
- This week, I convened a Postal Service Caucus roundtable to discuss solutions Congress can implement to improve mail delivery for the American people. Thanks to the stakeholders who joined the conversation—we look forward to continuing our work to strengthen USPS in the months
- June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. Millions of families are navigating this disease right now — and millions more are doing it as unpaid caregivers. We owe it to them to keep fighting for research, resources, and support.
- Prices are still too high and working families are still getting squeezed. That's why New Dems are fighting to put money back in the pockets of working families. newdemocratcoalition.house.gov/imo/media/doc/…
- Nobody’s voice or likeness should be used without their consent. @RepBeccaB is right to push for guidelines surrounding AI usage in campaigns. The NO FAKES Act is what we need to bring accountability.A political opponent recently posted a deepfake video of me on social media. It was generated using AI and fabricated my voice and image to put words in my mouth. While it represents a new - and dangerous - low, it was not unpredictable. It just drives home why we need to act
- Planned Parenthood is on the front lines of protecting women’s healthcare. I was glad to sit with them to talk about how we can work together to ensure our communities can access the vital services they provide – like cancer screenings, birth control, and family planning.
