Over the last 10 years, I’ve done 120 of something I called Cheri-on-Shifts. I job-shadowed folks and walked in the shoes of the people I serve, to get a firsthand view of the challenges Illinoisans face every day.

This is the story behind a decade Cheri-on-Shifts ⬇️

For the last decade, I've had the honor of nominating students from NW & Central IL to attend our nation's service academies.

Today, I’m proud to announce the nominations of 8 young leaders who will represent our region well at these prestigious institutions. ...Congratulations!

NEWS: The Respect for Marriage Act heads to @POTUS' desk to be signed into law!

Today, we sent a clear message that no matter who you are or who you love, you deserve equal treatment under the law. I'm so proud to cast my vote for this historic bill. #LoveWins

As I reflect on the last 10 years, I'm proud to leave a legacy of putting the people I serve above politics. It's been an honor to bring their voices to Congress.

Thank you, @JeffKolkey, for this beautiful story!

Today, @POTUS signed the Speak Out Act into law, which builds on my law to #EndForcedArbitration for sexual assault and harassment claims.

This package is one of the MOST significant wins for labor and women’s rights this century!

I just signed the Speak Out Act, a bill that'll enable survivors to speak out about workplace sexual assault and harassment and increase access to justice.

@RepLoisFrankel, @RepCheri, @SenGillibrand, @MazieHirono, and determined advocates: thank you for your tireless work.

Eighty-one years ago, the course of our nation's history changed forever.

Today, we remember all the brave men and women who lost their lives at #PearlHarbor - and we honor the millions of servicemembers who served our country in the days and years that followed.

I’m forever grateful to the officers who defended the U.S. Capitol & saved my life, the lives of my colleagues & our staff on Jan. 6, 2021.

Today, I joined my colleagues at the Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony to honor the service and sacrifice of our brave officers.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas…🎄

Over the weekend, my husband, Gerry, put up our lovely Christmas trees in Illinois, and here in Washington, I also decided to decorate. Happy holidays!

The issues that impact rural America and our farmers can’t take a back seat - Democrats need to show up everywhere to get all of our communities on board.
