Political Quotes

“I have heard from so many working families across central and northwestern Illinois who feel like they are left behind. Big corporations report record profits while workers struggle to make ends meet. Let's remember that it was the American worker who built this country, and it was the workers coming together to bargain collectively who built a strong middle class. The PRO Act is the most significant update to workers' rights in 80 years, and it couldn't come soon enough. When workers have the power to stand together and form a union, they get higher wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions. I was proud to help introduce the PRO Act, and I urge Members of Congress to pass it so we can protect the right to organize, rebuild our middle class, and improve the lives of working families in Illinois and across our great Nation. ____________________”
