Mike Ditka was Chicago football. Tough, loud and fiercely loyal to this city and this team. He gave this young Bears fan the ‘85 championship and set a standard we’ve been chasing ever since. Rest in peace, Coach. Thinking of his family and all of Bears Nation. 🐻⬇️

High costs aren't only hurting our families, they're also squeezing local small businesses like Supermercado Monarca in East Moline. Proud to stand beside Saul and his incredible team to discuss my work to lower costs and provide the relief our neighbors need and deserve.

Big win for the workers at FCI Thomson! You deserve the safety and certainty provided by a union contract. Grateful to AFGE Local 4070 for your advocacy on behalf of our workers. Proud to be with you in the fight for everyone's collective bargaining rights.

Glad to help break ground on Peoria Heights’ new water filtration plant. Clean water is one of those things nobody thinks about until it’s gone, and I’m happy I could help bring federal funding home so this community has safe drinking water for the next 100 years.

Exciting news in Peoria! The AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps is partnering with the Peoria Park District to help restore native habitats, improve park trails, and support local events. Can't wait to see the results!

Attention all weather geeks! I am happy to kick off @eesionline.org’a briefing on Super El Niño today! It's important we learn as much as we can about this seasonal forecast and the possibilities for severe weather. Follow along: www.eesi.org/briefings/vi...

Great to be back in school! Many thanks to Ms. Castro’s 2nd Grade class at Eugene Field Elementary. I got to read a book about the change of seasons and every child promised they would do their homework! I am proud to support the potential of every student, no matter the hometown or zip code.

Costs continue to skyrocket and Trump continues to ignore the plight of the American people. We must demand an immediate end to his reckless war with Iran so your costs come down. Enough is enough.

Team Sorensen was a part of the ribbon cutting for Western Illinois University’s new Goldfarb Center for the Performing Arts. Named for former President Al Goldfarb—whose father was the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust. Now, his name will be a part of WIU forever.

Team Sorensen was glad to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Reagan Mass Transit District facility in Oregon! This development will help strengthen transit services to residents across Ogle, Lee, Whiteside and Winnebago counties. Can't wait to see the finished site.

Great to be with the Association of Equipment Manufacturers in Washington to discuss our work together promoting free and fair trade, investing in our nation’s infrastructure, and supporting rural America. Thank you for all you do!

Glad to host Illinois Members of @acscan.bsky.social for a discussion about our ongoing commitment to ending cancer as we know it. I was also glad to meet Jacob, a two-time cancer survivor from Silvis! His story is an inspiration to me, and it was an honor to welcome him to the Capitol.
