As fortunate as Tuesday was, it was only the first step. Americans made it clear they demand change, and it is up to those in Washington to give it to them.
Those results are unsurprising for anyone who has had a chance to speak to Illinois families over the past two years, who have all too often faced the brunt of the cruelty, chaos, and corruption of this Administration.
Americans, from one end of this nation to the other, exercised their right to vote last Tuesday, and in doing so, they changed the course of America and its politics for years to come.
The proposed federal cuts and the removal of key Head Start requirements would significantly weaken our program quality, reduce safety and eliminate the individualized comprehensive support services.

This substantial $5 million in federal funding is a win-win for our top-notch workforce and local businesses critical to our national security.
This is a major step forward toward putting into place effective measures that will reduce life-threatening collisions in high-risk areas.
I’m proud to deliver this award from my Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law to finally move forward the safety upgrades needed for the notorious Roaring Brook Road crossing in New Castle.
A whopping $107 million in federal funding is on track to make major safety improvements in Westchester County in New Castle and Chappaqua!
We must right this wrong, and I will lead the way to protect our hospitals and make health care more affordable for New Yorkers.
This is a gut punch to Western New York and Southern Tier health care, as this bill will drive up costs for consumers and hurt so many seniors, families, and children who rely on Medicaid just to survive.
The ‘Big, Ugly Bill’ has been a disaster that has left New York families sicker, poorer, and less safe.
America’s next era of chip manufacturing is underway here in Upstate, and I can confidently say New York’s best days are ahead.
When I wrote and passed into law the CHIPS & Science Act, it was with bringing to the U.S. and New York cutting-edge facilities like this in mind.
Edwards Vacuum, America’s first semiconductor dry pump manufacturing facility, is open for business right here in Genesee County!
It’s a gut punch to Central New York businesses, to New York’s economy, and to American families that are being hit hard by Trump’s tariff temper tantrums.
We can’t let this nonsensical trade war with Canada, our closest trading partner and ally, continue.
Costs are skyrocketing, small businesses are being squeezed, and family farms are getting hammered because of Trump’s tariff taxes and costly trade war.
Programs like Safe Streets and Roads for All are vital to preventing traffic tragedies in our communities. This $8.2 million investment will allow the Capital Region to develop and implement targeted safety plans where they are needed most.
Productive conversations with local elected officials and the community to address their concerns must come first.
Increases in funding for HBCUs and TCCUs should not come at the expense of other critical institutions of higher education.
ED does not have the unilateral authority to reallocate these funds.
