With the 90th anniversary of Social Security approaching, Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) led a group of more than 30 House Democrats demanding answers from Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner Frank Bisignano about concerns from constituents who are struggling to access benefits. The Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) changes at the agency have created excessive claim processing wait times and inaccessible field office appointments.
Congressmen Eric Sorensen (IL-17) and Zach Nunn (IA-03) reintroduced their bipartisan Safe Schools and Communities Act aimed at improving school safety programs in our communities. The legislation creates competitive grants at the Department of Education for school districts to prevent human trafficking, raise awareness about drug abuse, reduce gang activity, and eliminate community violence.
Representatives Eric Sorensen (IL-17), Rob Bresnahan (PA-08), Kim Schrier (WA-08), Mike Lawler (NY-17), Robin Kelly (IL-02), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), and Sharice Davids (KS-03) introduced their bipartisan Low-Income Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) Establishment Act. The legislation would re-establish LIHWAP, the first-ever federal water assistance program, after funding for the program expired in 2022.
