Welcome!
I have had the honor of serving in the United States House of Representatives since December of 1995. I am a member of the Appropriations Committee, and serve on its Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs subcommittee as well as the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies subcommittee.
I hope this website helps you learn more about the Second Congressional District of Illinois, the role and services of the federal government, plus my views and voting record.
Thank you for visiting.
