DA “Diverging Diamond” is coming to IL-17! Soon, there will be no crossing traffic at the interchange of I-74 and John Deere Road. Instead, a more seamless flow of traffic that will keep us moving forward. Team Sorensen was on hand for the official groundbreaking ceremony that will put hundreds of people to work and improve the commute for thousands of Quad Citizens. Thank you to @IDOT_Illinois for investing in #IL17!
Team Sorensen was happy to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Illinois Army National Guard’s new Field Maintenance Shop in Bloomington! Grateful to all our partners who helped make this project happen. And as a member of @HASCDemocrats, I’ll continue fighting for the support all our National Guardsmen deserve.
There's still time to submit your entries for the Congressional App Challenge! Can't wait to see all the amazing things our IL-17 middle- and high-school students can create! Learn more: https://t.co/VrBTy1bLqZ
Today is #NationalComingOutDay, a time to celebrate and embrace our LGBTQ+ friends, neighbors and loved ones. Whether this is your 30th year celebrating, or maybe you're still not ready: know you are seen, heard and loved. Being one of only 13 present Members of Congress who have personally celebrated this day is an honor. 🏳️🌈
Thank you @wttw for putting out the facts so voters in #IL17 know what I’m fighting for. https://t.co/i5CfJL2xbt
MCL Health is bringing high-quality healthcare to Operators, Carpenters, and Teamsters all across IL-17, and it was a pleasure to tour their new Rock Island facility and thank them for their dedicated work. Awesome to get a sneak peek of the renovated Operators 150 Hall, too...can’t wait for it to open soon!

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. 🐻⬇️ https://t.co/ioqFoeKSg9
🚨Attention IL-17 Students and Parents🚨 Each year, I have the honor and privilege of nominating young people from our district to our prestigious U.S. Service Academies. Are you or someone you know interested in applying? Learn more below! Applications close November 1st. https://t.co/gaE0cKHKAC
As a Meteorologist, I know that disasters don’t discriminate blue states versus red states. The purpose of a disaster declaration is to help families pick up the pieces and start on the path toward rebuilding their lives, and the mere idea that the Trump administration would play games with this is ridiculous. I will keep fighting for the full recovery our families deserve.

Sickening. Hegseth needs to go.
This Hispanic Heritage Month, I’m proud to recognize and celebrate the incredible history, rich culture, and ongoing contributions of the Hispanic community in America. At a time when so many seek to divide us and turn neighbor against neighbor—I hope we can take this time to embrace one another with open arms and move forward towards a brighter future for all.
Today marks three years since the deadly terrorist attacks in Israel. In honor of those who lost their lives, we must recommit ourselves to the cause of peace for all people and ensure everyone has the basic health and security they need and deserve.
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. https://t.co/mCmbrUGCts
The Quad Cities deserves two fighters in Washington from both sides of the Mississippi River. Proud to stand with the next Congresswoman for #IA01 this weekend, Christina Bohannan! @BohannanIowa https://t.co/QEXB3s38yh
Thank you to the brave men and women of the Illinois Army National Guard’s Readiness Center in Peoria for showing me around your facility. As a member of @hascdemocrats, one of my top priorities is supporting National Guardsmen around the country—to ensure they always have the tools and resources they need to complete their critical missions. Thank you for all you do!
Big win for the workers at FCI Thomson! You deserve the safety and certainty provided by a union contract. Grateful to @AfgeLocal4070 for your advocacy on behalf of our workers. Proud to be with you in the fight for everyone's collective bargaining rights. https://t.co/aS17S5Agos
IL-17's bringing home some hardware! Team Sorensen was proud to attend a ceremony celebrating the 2026 Airport of the Year Award Winners, three of which are right here in our District! Congratulations to the winners, and thank you for your continued dedication to our community. https://t.co/9Zz6llOxmT
Illinois Central College is one of Peoria’s crown jewels, setting our young people on paths to fulfilling, successful careers right here in Central Illinois. It was a joy to tour their health sciences department and get an update on their incredible work (and get a quick check-up while I was at it!) Thanks for having me!
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. https://t.co/nCW7r7S5rJ
Exciting news in Peoria! The @AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps is partnering with the @PeoriaParkDist to help restore native habitats, improve park trails, and support local events. Can't wait to see the results!

Awesome to be the first person to use the new EV fast-chargers at the East Moline Public Library. Proud to drive my UAW, American-made Chevy Bolt and it’s so important to bring charging access to everyone, regardless if they have the ability to charge at home. Thank you @Metrolink, the State of Illinois, and the City of EM in getting this done!
