My name is Lilian Jiménez and I am running for State Representative of the 4th District.

"As State Representative, I will put the needs of our community before the interests of the wealthy and elite."

Lilian Jiménez is Chicago born and raised, and a daughter to a Puerto Rican father and Mexican mother.

She is an attorney who has specialized in public policy advocacy, bringing two decades of experience working in immigration, labor, criminal justice, civil rights, and community organizing. Lilian previously served as Director of Policy and Chief of Staff for Jesus “Chuy” Garcia during his tenure as Cook County Commissioner. Jiménez also served as Director of the Fair Labor Standards Division at the Illinois Department of Labor.

Currently, Lilian leads the Illinois Welcoming Center Office where she leverages her broad experiences to expand access to human services for limited English, immigrant, asylum seekers, climate and international refugees.

Endorsed by:

Lilian's husband Jesse Mumm, PHD & son Oisín Mumm Jiménez

"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." - Jesse
