LAUREN’S PRIORITIES


 

When she was elected to serve our community in 2018, Lauren Underwood pledged to be the most accessible, transparent, and accountable Congresswoman the 14th District has ever seen.

During her first term in Congress, Lauren has hosted more than 25 public town hall meetings and 135 community events across the seven counties of the 14th District. She has passed six bipartisan pieces of legislation into law, including the Lower Insulin Costs Now Act to make lower-cost, generic insulin available more quickly for the families who rely on it.

Since her swearing-in, Lauren has voted to support federal programs that brought over $1 billion dollars to the 14th to fund small business loans, cutting edge science at Fermilab, and other grants and federal contracts that support good jobs and services in our community.

Lauren serves on the House Committee on Appropriations and the House Committee on Veteran’s Affairs.
