As a nurse and someone with a preexisting condition, one of my top priorities in Congress will always be making sure that quality health care is affordable for you and your family.

Thanks for the questions at our Senior Town Hall, DeKalb! I'll keep working to make sure you can enjoy peace of mind you've earned through a lifetime of hard work:  ➡️ Defending Social Security & Medicare ➡️ Capping the cost of insulin at $35   ➡️ Lowering drug costs for Medicare

The PACT Act is the largest expansion of benefits in more than 30 years to veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service. I worked to pass this legislation because we owe our veterans the best.

Homeland Security Subcommittee Ranking Member @RepUnderwood : "Unfortunately, the legislation put forward by the majority today misses the mark and ignores our country’s most pressing needs."

Thanks to the #InflationReductionAct , seniors on Medicare will pay no more than $35 a month for their insulin. Drug companies are lowering their prices now too, and I won’t stop fighting until every family can afford the insulin they need.
