Political Quotes

“Since day one in Congress, bringing Federal resources to help the 14th District of Illinois thrive has been one of my top priorities. As a new member of the House Appropriations Committee, I am so proud of how much we have accomplished in just 7 short months. Just last week, I was pleased to announce that over $10.5 million in Federal funding for community projects was included in the House's appropriations legislation. These projects will improve the quality of life and economic opportunity in northern Illinois. In Joliet, Pingree Grove, and Richmond the resources will improve water infrastructure to give each community a reliable water source for years to come. In McHenry, the resources will help expand access to higher education through dual credit programs at McHenry County College. In Kendall County, the resources will help foster youth and their advocates by developing a permanent advocacy office for CASA of Kendall County. These investments are critical, and I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress until these resources are seen and felt in our community. ____________________”
