Wadee Alfayoumi brought so much joy and light to our community and he deserved to live a full & happy life. Instead, he was killed in a brutal attack driven by bigotry and bias. Hate has no place in Illinois or our country & Iām honored to introduce this resolution that honors his life and memory.

Health care prices are out of control. But instead of working with Democrats to lower costs, Republicans want to raise them even higher. Americans cannot afford this Republican agenda.

People don't need higher prices. They need affordable healthcare. That's why the fact that Republicans won't extend the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits will be devastating for families who will see their premiums increase by $720 per year.

Republicans in Congress are cutting environmental protections, crippling the agencies that keep our water clean and our air safe to breathe, and raising your power bill. And for what? To protect corporate profits and give polluters a free pass.
