THE FOLLOWING RELEASE IS FROM CONGRESSWOMAN ROBIN KELLY’S OFFICE
WASHINGTON – Today, Members of the Illinois Democratic congressional delegation, Representatives Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), Sean Casten (IL-06), Danny K. Davis (IL-07), Bill Foster (IL-11), Jesús G. “Chuy” García (IL-04), Jonathan Jackson (IL-01), Robin Kelly (IL-02), Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08), Mike Quigley (IL-05), Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03), Jan Schakowsky (IL-09), Brad Schneider (IL-10), Eric Sorensen (IL-17), and Lauren Underwood (IL-14), released the following statement condemning the Trump administration’s illegal actions to steal federal funds from the people of Illinois:
“The Illinois Democratic congressional delegation is united in condemning the Trump Administration’s efforts to steal taxpayer dollars from the hardworking communities we represent to pay for more giveaways to billionaires and the biggest corporations,” the Members said. “These unconstitutional federal funding cuts will immediately raise costs for Illinois families and destroy critical services that pay our teachers, support first responders, house homeless veterans, save lives through medical research, and so much more. We will not stand for these illegal efforts to withhold funding from Illinoisans, who already pay nearly $6 in taxes for every $1 we receive in direct support from the federal government.”
