Peoria Standard

Darin LaHood, U.S. Congressman representing Illinois’ 16th district, shared a series of updates on July 29, 2025, highlighting his recent legislative efforts and engagements with local groups.

In a tweet posted at 15:59 UTC, LaHood stated, "The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers real results for farmers across #IL16. Republicans delivered stronger crop insurance, eliminated the death tax for family farms, and supported the next generation of ag leaders. I will continue to ensure they have the resources needed to".

Later that day at 21:59 UTC, he addressed a business audience in Peoria, writing, "It was great to speak with the Central Illinois Vistage Group in Peoria this morning! I enjoyed discussing some of the lessons I've learned in Congress and the pro-family, pro-agriculture, and pro-business components in the One Big Beautiful Bill. I want to thank Bill Morton for".

In another engagement on July 29 at 23:34 UTC, LaHood participated in a tax roundtable event. He tweeted, "Today, I joined the @USChamber and McLean County Chamber of Commerce for tax roundtable in Bloomington. We hosted local small business owners to discuss how provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill cut red tape, support workers, and boost local economies across #IL16."

LaHood has represented Illinois' 16th congressional district since succeeding Aaron Schock in 2015. In the most recent general election held in 2022, he secured his seat by defeating Elizabeth Haderlein with approximately two-thirds of the vote.
