The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator. But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch. So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

The Trump Administration has sued, intimidated, and silenced individuals whose speech they disagree with. I’m with @SenPeterWelch & @knightcolumbia to call out this outrageous violation of our Constitution.

The rising cost of building homes has spurred an affordability crisis that has priced millions of Americans out of home ownership. Today, I spoke with the Illinois Realtors about how we can push federal legislation that would address America’s housing crisis.

If the U.S. and Iran have arrived at a ceasefire, then why did Senate Republicans just block a bill that would require the President to secure congressional approval for further military action against Iran? This war has cost us enough already, and Congress must ensure it asserts

FISA Section 702 has been abused for far too long. While President Trump wants its reauthorization tied to his voter suppression efforts, I am on the Senate floor to demand that FISA’s renewal come with reforms to protect Americans’ privacy instead.

On DACA’s 14th anniversary, I am joining my colleagues on the Senate floor to urge Congress to pass the Dream Act and provide permanent protections for Dreamers.

DACA was always meant to be a temporary fix as Congress created a permanent path to citizenship for Dreamers. End the uncertainty. Pass the Dream Act and make their protections permanent.

DACA recipients provide nearly $16 billion to the U.S. economy each year & 37% have U.S. citizen children. Our country is better because they are here.

Despite President Trump’s many attempts, DACA is still in place, 14 years after it was created. But his Administration is slow walking DACA renewals and arresting Dreamers. Congress must protect these young people from the President’s mass deportation agenda.

Since DACA was created, more than 835,000 Dreamers have come forward and received DACA so they can contribute more fully to their country as teachers, nurses, doctors, engineers, and small business owners. They have earned their right to remain in America.
