Congress has shown me how far we still have to go to build a system that truly works for everyone. But that won’t discourage me. My love for and dedication to the St. Louis region keep me in this for the long haul. In 2026, I’ll keep fighting for the better future we all deserve.

Families shouldn’t be working harder just to fall further behind. I’m proud to cosponsor the American Affordability Act to lower housing, energy, childcare, education, and healthcare costs—and put more money back in working families’ pockets. It’s time to make the economy work for people again.

It’s hard to miss what’s going on here. A story gets pulled at the same time executives are seeking deals that need government sign-off. That’s not a coincidence.

The law is clear: the Trump Administration must release the Epstein files by the end of today. They’re refusing to follow a law the President himself signed. When transparency is denied, the public has a right to ask why.

Growing up, I learned firsthand how the stability of a caregiver and a safe home can shape a child’s future. That’s why I’m proud to cosponsor the Grandfamily Housing Act—to support grandparents who step up to raise their grandkids and ensure they have safe, affordable housing and real support.

Reminder: To have health coverage start on January 1, you must enroll by December 15. Losing coverage or going uninsured isn’t just stressful, it’s expensive. The Affordable Care Act helps millions of working families get quality, affordable health care, including folks with pre-existing conditions

Remember the whole "I'll bring back manufacturing jobs and fix costs on day one?" Well, the facts are we have lost about 50,000 manufacturing jobs since January. Americans and folks in the St. Louis region are sick of waiting for policies that create jobs instead of destroying them.

Mohammad Ali Dadfar risked his life protecting U.S. troops in Afghanistan. He followed every rule to seek safety for his family, yet the Trump admin detained him without cause. A federal judge ruled his rights were violated. Our allies deserve dignity and due process, not punishment.

New reporting shows what families in the St. Louis region already feel: these tariffs are nothing but a hidden tax on working people. Black Friday prices went up, not down—because the Trump administration chose billionaire tax breaks over affordability for everyone.

Releasing the Epstein files not only brings justice to the victims of this horrific abuse, but also exonerates all who have been wrongly accused. Conspiracies must be put to rest—it’s time to put the facts on full display.
