I am thankful for the Senator’s visit and urge Congress, especially those who are Veterans, to fight to uphold our Constitution and the rights it guarantees all people.

The nation is looking at Chicago and our efforts to push back against the extremes we have seen from the White House and defend people’s rights.

Grateful to the City Council Office of Financial Analysis (COFA) for their breakdown and explanation of where we are in the moment and offering some insight from the perspective of the City Council.

We have already seen the mayor’s proposal, and now the City Council gets to negotiate until we reach a fair compromise. Hearing directly from residents is a crucial step in that process.

This is especially prevalent with Veterans who have training, education, and experience from service that previously did not transfer over to the workforce.

This ordinance hits home for me. I have heard many stories of qualified candidates not being considered for a role due to not having a college degree, though they have more real-world experience.

I was proud to highlight the City of Chicago and our passage of the Skills-Based Hiring Ordinance earlier this year - which is now being used nationwide as a model for other municipalities to implement.
