About Delia
Congresswoman Delia Ramirez represents IL-03 district and is the first Latina elected to Congress in the entire midwest.
The daughter of working-class Guatemalan immigrants, Delia Ramirez is an accomplished legislator, social service director, community leader, and coalition builder who has dedicated her life and career to advocating for working families.
Delia’s commitment to community and working families are shaped by her lived experience. Her mother crossed the border while pregnant with Delia and worked multiple low-wage jobs to give her children a fighting chance to escape poverty. Delia’s father worked two jobs and alternated shifts with her Mom so that they could care for their children. Delia witnessed firsthand how important social services were, as she watched neighbors come to her church for housing assistance, food and services for the undocumented. She saw the heartbreaking financial crises that her parents and many others in her community shouldered, hoping to provide a better life for their children.
These experiences ignited a fire that propelled her to fight for the rights of all working families struggling to survive, whether it be housing justice, fully funding public schools, ethics reform, women’s reproductive rights, or Medicare for all. She spent the next 15 years as a nonprofit leader, fighting for affordable housing, quality education, and campaign finance reform. When the opportunity arrived, her community drafted her to run for office.
In 2018, she was elected to the Illinois General Assembly as state representative for the 4th house district. She successfully passed legislation expanding Medicaid coverage to senior citizens regardless of immigration status, securing over 450 million to build affordable housing, protecting abortion rights, and creating an elected school board in the City of Chicago. She was the co-founder of the Illinois House Progressive Caucus and served as Assistant Majority Leader.
Delia is a graduate of Northeastern Illinois University and lives in Chicago with her husband Boris and their golden retriever Lola.
