On Opposite Day, we wanted to reach out and tell you about all the things Delia isn't doing to make our community better.
😉 She's not a co-lead on the American Dream and Promise Act, a bill that carves out a clear pathway to citizenship.
😉 She didn't introduce the Student Veteran Restoration Act, a bill that ensures veterans who've been defrauded by for-profit institutions can have their education benefit restored.
😉 She isn't ensuring that tenants can fight back against unfair and discriminatory housing practices by introducing the Tenants' Right to Organize Act.
All jokes aside, Congresswoman Delia Ramirez is a strong and unapologetic voice against far-right extremism, and she's working hard to pass life-changing legislation for our communities.
Delia Ramirez has dedicated her life and career to public service and advocating for working families. She is a deeply rooted community leader and public servant whose values are informed by her upbringing as the daughter of Guatemalan immigrants.
In 2022, Delia was elected to represent Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District and became the first Latina Congresswoman in the Midwest. In just a few months in Congress, she has introduced legislation with bipartisan support to help student veterans, is co-leading the Dream and Promise Act, and is introducing legislation that gives tenants the right to organize. She serves as Vice Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Committee, and sits on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee. She is also a Board Member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) PAC, and CPC Special Order Hour Convener.
Delia also serves as Co-Chair of the Strengthening Democracy Task Force, as well as Vice Chair of the Equal Rights Amendment Caucus. She is a fighter who is determined to deliver for her constituents, and is working everyday to achieve equitable distribution of resources for Illinois infrastructure, clean energy, transportation, housing, healthcare, and jobs. She also advocates for federal resources so that Illinois may continue to be a welcoming state for new arrivals and asylum seekers.
