#RKWeekInReview: I’m working hard to be your next U.S. Senator. From Kankakee to Tinley Park, Monmouth & Chicago — and into Dolton to launch the WELLS Act. I was the first to bring Black maternal health to Congress, and I’m not slowing down now

Native American Heritage Day is a time to honor and celebrate the rich cultures, accomplishments, contributions, and enduring heritage of indigenous peoples—because America’s story begins with Native Americans. We recognize their profound and lasting impact on our nation.

Saddened by the shooting that critically wounded two National Guard members. Holding them and their families close and grateful for the swift response from law enforcement. Gun violence cannot define who we are as a nation.

I first raised maternal mortality in Congress. Mercedes Wells and her baby are doing well—but what she endured is appalling. I’m introducing the WELLS Act to require Safe Discharge Labor Plans, and I’ll carry this fight for mothers to the U.S. Senate.

Week in Review: From Chicago Heights to Ogle County to Lake County and back to Chicago, the support has been amazing. I’m working hard to be your next U.S. Senator, and the conversations across Illinois keep fueling this fight.

Donald Trump, you are not a king. You don't get to threaten and bully people who disagree with you - especially brave patriots who took an oath to defend and protect our country while you were dodging the draft and cheating on your taxes.
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

While Trump urges business owners to oppose wage increases, I’m committed to raising the minimum wage to $17 an hour by 2030. Because People Over Profits isn’t a slogan—it’s the reason I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Today I voted to bring the Epstein records fully into the light. Survivors have waited too long for truth and justice, and the American people deserve complete transparency. Secrecy protects abusers—not victims. I will always confront the powerful and demand real accountability.

Tonight I shared my People Over Profits platform with the Lake County Democrats and thanked the incredible north suburban neighbors who hit the doors and passed petitions for me. I’m running for Senate to fight for you in every corner of Illinois.

Finished the day at the HRC Chicago Annual Dinner, proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community. From creating my LGBTQ+ Task Force to fighting discrimination and defending equality, I’m ready to bring this commitment to the United States Senate.

Taking my Senate campaign to every corner of Illinois matters. At today's second stop, the Ogle County Democrats Meet & Greet, I shared my People Over Profits platform and heard directly from Democrats in northwestern Illinois. Grateful for the conversation!

Started the morning with the Black McDonald’s Operators Association at their turkey giveaway. Food is medicine—and that’s why I introduced the FOOD for Health Act. I’ll take that fight to the Senate so every family gets the healthy food they deserve.

In our inaugural Week in Review, it’s clear Illinois is fired up! Another great week on the trail to be your next U.S. Senator. People want a fighter and a winner. I’ve delivered for Illinois, and I’m ready to keep going. See you on the trail!

The Republican shut down was never about you. While we've been fighting to protect your health care, they have been fighting to hide a million dollar giveaway to 8 Senators.
It's unconscionable, and we won't stop fighting against their greed to protect your care.

House Republicans push vote to reverse provision allowing senators to sue over phone records
They won’t be able to strip it from the bipartisan funding package, though.

I just voted HELL NO on the sham of a shutdown deal. I’m not shocked by the GOP but am deeply disappointed in my Senate colleagues who bought into this nonsense. This so-called deal to end King Trump’s shutdown still doesn’t address our nation’s healthcare crisis. Hell no!

World’s worst-kept secret.

Heading back to DC to vote HELL NO — because every American deserves affordable health care. We must extend ACA tax credits and lower costs for working families. This is my fight in the House, and it’s why I’m running for the Senate.
