Illinois Congressman Eric Sorensen says he's ready to reach across the aisle and work with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

Sorensen says his second term will look much different from his first—with a Republican President and Republicans with a stronghold in the Senate and the House. However, the former meteorologist is ready to work with Republicans no matter the issue.

Congressman Sorenson recently won a second term after defeating Republican and former Judge Joe McGraw.

Sorensen's district spans from Rockford to the Quad Cities to McLean County.
