NEWLY APPOINTED 2ND LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT STATE SENATOR OMAR AQUINO VOWS TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR WORKING FAMILIES

06/28/2016

“I humbly accept the appointment to replace 2nd Legislative District State Senator William “Willie” Delgado. I would like to thank Senator Delgado for being a tireless champion for our working families and paving the way for Latinos to run for office. The 2nd legislative district has a long history of electing progressive giants like Senator Delgado, and former State Senator Miguel Del Valle, who have championed issues for our working families like access to education, and healthcare.

I proudly stand on the shoulders of these progressive giants, and vow to continue in their legacy by fighting for equitable funding for our public schools, and protect our most vulnerable from Governor Rauner’s austerity agenda that takes from the poor to give to the rich.”
