Darin LaHood

The two congressmen who represent parts of Greater Peoria were split Thursday on the proposal to cancel funding for foreign aid and public media.

The two U.S. House members who represent Bloomington-Normal and Greater Peoria split their vote on a massive bill to enact the heart of President Trump's domestic agenda.

A lifelong resident of Rockford is joining a growing field of candidates from both the left and right looking to unseat Illinois’ U.S. Congressman Darin LaHood in 2026.

Rep. Darin LaHood is considering and is open to a primary run for the U.S. Senate seat, according to a source with direct knowledge of the congressman’s thinking. The congressman has about $5.8 million cash on hand to help a potential bid.

Residents concerned about potential cuts to federal Medicaid staged a protest Monday outside the office of Republican U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood, who represents parts of Bloomington-Normal.

Amid recent calls to host a town hall meeting with constituents, U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood says he frequently makes himself available to the public.

The new head of the U.S. Small Business Administration touted President Donald Trump's plans to boost American manufacturing Wednesday during a visit to Peoria.

About 90 protesters gathered Monday in Uptown Normal to speak against restrictions to Medicaid and other social services.

U.S. Rep. Eric Sorensen says the Trump administration’s sudden pause of federal grants, loans and other financial assistance programs will result in widespread adverse outcomes.

Sorensen, a Democrat from Moline, also supported the bill when it came up in the last Congress. He said illegal immigration is something his constituents in the 17th Congressional District bring up often.
