Dick Durbin: “If I can ask you, Mr. Secretary, you've stated the obvious. And that is you're faced with budgetary challenges.”

Five years at $200 million amounts to $1 billion… it represents 48 hours in the war in Iran.

Today’s announcement means that we can see that growth sooner rather than later.

I want to recognize the incredible partnership that made this possible: Stone Community Development Corporation, Lurie Children’s, Thresholds, and Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives.

I secured $1 million in federal funding for Lurie Children’s to help create this community health clinic in Austin and now, that investment comes to life.
