Yesterday evening, Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) hosted a virtual town hall with residents of Illinois’ 17th Congressional District. More than 8,300 constituents joined the event on the phone and Facebook, with many sharing how federal funding and job cuts are personally impacting them.

“One of the most important things I can do is listen to the constituents of the 17th district. Last night, I heard from a woman in Bloomington who is concerned her husband may lose his veterans’ benefits, a man in Peoria who lost his job at the Ag Lab, and an individual in Moline who wanted to know how the dismantling of USAID would impact farmers who sold their crops to them,” said Congressman Eric Sorensen. “My neighbors are the stories behind the inevitable consequences of having an unelected billionaire in Washington take a chainsaw to the federal government. It is their stories that are guiding my work to stop the chaos in Washington, so we can return to focusing on creating jobs, lowering costs, and making health care more affordable.”
