Congressman Bill Foster, representing Illinois' 11th district since 2013, has recently shared his views on international and domestic issues through a series of tweets. Foster, who resides in Naperville and holds a degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, expressed his opinions on matters ranging from the conflict involving Russia and Ukraine to domestic fiscal policies.
On February 19, 2025, Congressman Foster commented on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. He stated that "Russia started this war—not Ukraine. Putin is a dictator—not Zelenskyy." Furthermore, he criticized former President Donald Trump for having "such little regard for democracy and the free world," while acknowledging that some Republicans have supported aid to Ukraine despite Trump's stance.
The following day, February 20, 2025, Foster reminded constituents of an upcoming event: "REMINDER: I'm hosting a telephone town hall TONIGHT at 7:00 PM CT." He provided details for participation by encouraging people to RSVP through a link provided in his tweet.
On February 21, 2025, Congressman Foster addressed concerns over proposed budget cuts by Republican lawmakers. He stated that "Republicans want to cut 2 TRILLION dollars from programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid." He argued these cuts are intended to fund tax reductions for wealthy individuals. Foster mentioned standing with colleagues and Citizens Action/Illinois earlier in the week to oppose these measures.
