June 7 Networking Event - featuring Illinois House Representative Lou Lang
Illinois House Representative Lou Lang will be speaking on the topic 'State Resources for the Unemployed and Underemployed'
Since he was first elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1988, Lou Lang has established himself as one of the Legislature's most outspoken leaders.
Representing the 16th House District of Illinois, which includes Skokie, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove and portions of neighboring Chicago, Lang has fought for seniors, women, working families and education. He led the effort to fight senior abuse, increase "Meals-On-Wheels" funding, and provide prescription drug relief. He has been a staunch defender of reproductive choice and is currently fighting to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in Illinois.
Lang has stood by Illinois' working families, supporting increases in the minimum wage, working to expand family and medical leave, and opposing efforts to weaken worker compensation laws.
He has made education reform his legislative hallmark - working to solve school funding problems and sponsoring a campaign to provide full college scholarships to Illinois universitiy and community college students with a B average or better. Because of his leadership, Lou Lang has won the admiration and respect of his peers in the Legislature and his constituents at home. He is a rising star within the Democratic Party, advancing to House Democratic Floor Leader in 1993 and Assistant Majority Leader in 1997.
Lang is considered the expert in the Illinois General Assembly on the important issue of mental health, and he has passed significant legislation in this area.
