- 2026-05-15HONORING CHAUNDRA BISHOP“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Urbana councilwoman, proud dog mom to Riley and now to Bronzely, and my good friend, Chaundra Bishop.

- 2026-05-13NATIONWIDE CONSUMER AND FUEL RETAILER CHOICE ACT OF 2025“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, as amended.”
- 2026-01-13TIPPED EMPLOYEE PROTECTION ACT“Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to this legislation. This bill, deceptively named the Tipped Employee Protection Act, would change Federal wage law to allow employers to treat almost any worker as a tipped employee, even if they receive small or occasional tips.”

The Congressional Record marks Nikki Budzinski as speaking in 20 items of business across 19 sitting days of this Congress.
