The 1908 Race Riot Site is an important piece of telling America’s story. In Congress, I will continue to work with my colleagues to preserve this important historical site. https://t.co/vRx9lqJXyf — PolitiTweet.org

It was great to be in Macomb yesterday for move-in day at WIU and to visit with the McDonough Co. Hospital personnel. I will take what I heard back to DC to ensure west-central Illinois continues to get the resources we need to combat COVID-19. https://t.co/rA18TqvS69 — PolitiTweet.org

I want to thank @WesternILUniv President Abraham & his team for the campus tour & highlighting all of the new safety protocols implemented in response to COVID-19. I was impressed with WIU’s approach & want to wish them all the best as they start the school year. Go Leathernecks! https://t.co/6GiThGry2A — PolitiTweet.org

In #IL18, we have a robust biofuels sector that provides good-paying jobs & bolsters commodity prices for farmers. State-mandated closures have dropped the demand for corn significantly. That's why, I joined my colleagues to call for direct assistance for the biofuels sector. https://t.co/gNAfVou2MF — PolitiTweet.org

Global Impact Innovation & Big River Resources in Galva started making ethanol-based hand sanitizer in March to help combat COVID-19.

I recently joined @WITA_DC for a discussion about US-China relations, my work on the #ChinaTaskForce & trade. As America works to recover from COVID-19, strengthening our global competitiveness through trade is critical to rebuilding our economy. Watch⬇️ https://t.co/H0UyVnC6qz — PolitiTweet.org

Hardin Industies Inc. is expanding their manufacturing operations in Lacon, bringing 65 news jobs to Marshall County. As we work to recover from COVID-19, this is great news for Lacon that will spur economic opportunity. https://t.co/do24NbRSa0 — PolitiTweet.org

Great news for Peoria and Natural Fiber Welding! @FiberWelding’s technology provides sustainably sourced material and demonstrates why central Illinois is an innovation hub. Thanks to an investment from @RalphLauren, NFW will be adding 100 jobs in Peoria.https://t.co/QWRPkVuIcF — PolitiTweet.org

Community Health Centers play a critical role in keeping our communities in #IL18 healthy, particularly now as they protect us from COVID-19. Last week, we celebrated #NHCW20. I am proud to support the work they do to provide affordable and reliable healthcare to IL residents. https://t.co/BJTJSX1qNj — PolitiTweet.org

As we work to recover from COVID-19, Congress can take important steps to support food and beverage distributors, their workers, and their customers impacted by this pandemic with the PLUS Act. Read my op-ed with @IFDA: https://t.co/Q97I3nGd7l — PolitiTweet.org

Former Illinois Governor Jim Thompson was a great leader who worked hard to make Illinois better, and he leaves behind a legacy of decency we should all aspire to. My prayers are with his wife and daughter during this difficult time. RIP Big Jim. https://t.co/ySU4HNvpCS — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to be named a Wind Champion by @AWEA. #IL18 is one of the top 25 wind energy-producing districts in the US. Wind energy production expands job opps., supports local economies, and delivers renewable energy solutions. I’m proud to support wind energy. #AmericanWindWeek — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Kohl Wholesale in Quincy for having me to discuss my bill, the PLUS Act, and tour their facility. Food distributors, like Kohl, ensure our food supply chain stays strong. The PLUS Act will allow distributors to continue supporting customers as we rebuild from COVID-19. https://t.co/W2gw2sehiU — PolitiTweet.org

It was great to start the day at the La Grange Lock & Dam on the Illinois River to see the progress on construction upgrades.
