Catching Up with Quigley: Week In Review

Dear John,

I hope you had a good week, as Spring weather finally moved into Chicago. I'm writing to share three things I did as your representative over the past week.

1. Mourned the Passing of CFD Captain David Meyer

Chicago Fire Captain David Meyer passed away this week after braving a garage fire on the West Side. Captain Meyer dedicated his entire life to protecting our city, spending aqlmost 30 years as a Chicago firefighter. I could not be prouder to have him as my constituent and our Truck 29 leader.

My sincerest condolences go out to Captain Meyer's family, Truck 29, and the entire Chicago Fire Department.

2. Honored Dick Durbin's Legacy of Service

After serving the people of Illinois for over 40 years in Congress, this week my colleague Senator Dick Durbin shared that he plans to retire at the end of his term. From securing federal funds to extend Chicago’s Red Line and bolster anti-flooding infrastructure, to supporting full LGBTQ+ equality, Senator Durbin has been an essential partner in solving problems right here at home. I will miss his partnership and advocacy in the Senate, but I look forward to seeing him thrive in this next chapter.

3. Celebrated Earth Day

This week, we celebrated Earth Day and all the incredible natural wonders that make up our world. Unfortunately, the future of our planet is being put at risk every day that the Trump administration is in office. We all must do our part to protect our natural wonders, and I will be working every day to fight against the anti-environmental agenda of this administration.

Watch my remarks celebrating Earth Day, HERE.
