"Lili forever astounds me. I was enamored of her when we met 24 years ago, and I am now still. In those years she became a leader in protecting youth from violence, strengthening our unions, demanding equity in health care, fighting employers to get fair pay for workers, defending immigrants, and now helping bring millions of dollars for housing and human services to the people of Illinois who need them most.

She has a warm heart, she listens, but then she takes ACTION, and her kindness is only matched by her will to get things DONE. If I was not in love with her, and married to her, I still could not imagine anyone whose life story, and whose actions in the real world, demonstrate more that she will fight for the people of our neighborhoods. She is the leader we deserve."
