Delia Ramirez (IL-03)
THE STEADY STATE ENDORSES DELIA RAMIREZ FOR ILLINOIS’S 3RD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
WASHINGTON — The Steady State, an organization of more than 450 former national security, intelligence, diplomatic, military, law enforcement, and homeland security officials, today endorsed Hon. Delia Ramirez for Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District.
Delia Ramirez represents Illinois’s Third Congressional District and is the first Latina elected to Congress from Illinois and the Midwest. A graduate of Northeastern Illinois University, she spent nearly two decades in the nonprofit sector working on housing, immigration, good government, and economic justice before serving two terms in the Illinois General Assembly. In Congress, Ramirez has built a homeland security and oversight profile through her service on the House Homeland Security Committee and the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, where she serves as the top Democrat on the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
Delia Ramirez demonstrates a consistent commitment to the rule of law, supports nonpartisan oversight and accountability of the Executive Branch, exhibits a substantive understanding of the national security challenges facing the country, and upholds the democratic norms and ethical standards of public service that the organization's criteria require.
“This isn’t a moment for on-the-job training in national security. Delia Ramirez already brings the understanding this role requires,” said Steven Cash, Executive Director of The Steady State.
