Government Accountability and Transparency
Serving as a local meteorologist for over 20 years required me to be a trusted neighbor to the people in Central and Northwestern Illinois. In Congress, I’m still working to be a trusted voice for the people of Illinois’ 17th District.
That means being willing to work with anyone – Republican or Democrat – to make sure everyone in my District has their needs met. It also means being accountable and transparent about the work I’m doing in Washington on your behalf.
If you need help from the federal government, have a question for my office, or would just like to share your view on the issues you care most about, please contact my Washington, DC or Rock Island offices any time. Contact information for these offices can be found at the bottom of this page.
