Dianne McGuire's Endorsements

Dianne McGuire has been endorsed by the following organizations:

The Ilinois Federation of Teachers

The Illinois Federation of Teachers represents 90,000 men and women who are teachers and paraprofessionals in school districts throughout Illinois; faculty and staff at Illinois’ community colleges and universities; and public employees under every state elected constitutional officer, and retirees.  The IFT has an abiding interest in the well being not only of public employees, but of public institutions, most specifically public education.  They support legislation that supports the children and families they serve.  As a fellow educator, it is an especially wonderful honor to have this endorsement.  I will work hard as the next State Representative for District 96 to fulfill their trust and support.

The AFL-CIO Committee on Public Education

With over a million members employed in the State of Illinois, the AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education (COPE) endorsement means a great deal to any candidate.  This organization represents working men and women in the State of Illinois in almost every field of endeavor, from all backgrounds and education levels, as they strive to achieve justice and respect in the workplace, goals shared by all employees and professionals.   It is an honor to receive their endorsement as a candidate and I value their efforts to help with my candidacy. 

The Illinois League of Conservation Voters

The League of Conservation Voters is the political arm of the environmental movement in Illinois.  Through elections, they actively support candidates who promote “sustainable economic development” and oppose candidates who vote for anti environmental legislation.  To earn the support of the League of Conservation Voters is indeed an honor.  As we all strive to minimize our environmental “footprint” on this earth, we owe a debt of thanks to groups such as the League who are on the frontline, raising awareness and advocating for a healthier and cleaner Illinois.

Asian American Action Fund of Greater Chicago

The Asian American Action Fund of Greater Chicago is a state and federal Political Action Committee founded in 2007.  Their mission is to encourage Asian Pacific Americans (APA)  to participate in the political process and support APA and non-APA candidates who are supportive on issues of concern to the APA community.  In District 96, Asian Americans make up approximately 14% of the population, making this a very powerful and welcome endorsement.

Italian American Political Coalition

The Italian American Political Coalition is an organization of civic, professional and business leaders dedicated to the empowerment of the Italian-American community.  As an endorsed candidate, my name will be included in the February issues of Fra Noi, the Chicagoland Italian-American newspaper; on Italian broadcasts; and in the IAPC website.  They have a data base of 230,000 registered Italian-American voters in the State of Illinois, which they will utilize on my behalf.
