Nikki Budzinski, currently serving as a U.S. Congress member representing Illinois' 13th district, has been actively engaging with her constituents through social media. Her recent tweets highlight her legislative efforts and priorities.

On November 18, 2024, Budzinski expressed her commitment to reproductive rights, stating: "I’ll always fight to protect reproductive freedom - including the right to IVF. I’m proud to cosponsor the Access to Family Building Act to ensure access to these treatments that give so many families hope on their fertility journey."

Later that day, she addressed energy costs and announced federal funding for renewable energy projects: "Energy costs are still too high, but the REAP program is making critical investments to help folks lower their power bills. I’m thrilled to announce more than $950,000 in federal funding for farmers and small businesses in #IL13 to produce solar energy and bring down costs!"

In another tweet on the same day, Budzinski celebrated National Apprenticeship Week by promoting her first bill: "Happy National Apprenticeship Week! Apprenticeships create pathways to the middle class and get folks ready for roles in growing industries. That's why my very first bill, the LEAP Act, focuses on expanding apprenticeship opportunities for folks in #IL13 and across the country!"
