Lauren Underwood (IL-14) released the following statement today announcing her decision to vote in support of two articles of impeachment. "Our country's founders created impeachment so that no president could place themselves above the law, a crucial Constitutional check-of-power that ensures our country's security and values are protected against corruption and foreign influence in our elections. As I've weighed this solemn decision I've listened to our community, examined important testimony and evidence, and studied the drafted articles. "The President has demonstrated a pattern of corrupt behavior, and abused his power for his own personal political gain when he pressured foreign leaders to conduct investigations against political rivals, jeopardizing our country's national security and the integrity of our elections. The testimony and evidence put forth led me to a clear conclusion. In order to uphold my sworn oath, I must vote to protect the Constitution and will vote in support of the articles of impeachment." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:45:33Z |
