    I had a very meaningful day honoring the 46 police officers from our region who lost their lives in the line of duty at today’s Quad-City law enforcement memorial.

    China has stopped buying U.S. soybeans because President Trump launched a trade war with no strategy behind it. Well, wars have casualties and it’s hardworking farmers who are now paying a very real price for Trump's reckless and impulsive decisions.

    I had great conversations today walking the aisles of Fisher Foods. We discussed their concerns about the future of social security, and their ability to earn a living wage without having to work two jobs to get by. Hardworking Illinoisans deserve from Washington.

    For my “Cheri on Shift” I shadowed a first generation farmer, Jared Kunkle, and try my hand planting soybeans! I appreciate the opportunity to hear from our family farmers as I continue to fight in Washington for a bipartisan Farm Bill that doesn’t leave the Heartland behind.

    Today at CADS I met some inspiring survivors of this heartbreaking opioid and heroin epidemic. Wes is a recovering addict who benefited from the live saving services CADS provides and has gotten his life back on track. I'm committed to helping find a solution for this epidemic.
