Rep. Hoan Huynh to Advocate for Improved Access to Healthcare, Support for Immigrants on Critical House Committees

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – State Rep. Huynh, D-Chicago, will use his roles on several House legislative committees to focus on expanding access to healthcare and housing, protecting human rights and immigrants, and maintaining the states infrastructure to support the state’s economy.

“As we finally transition from the pandemic, it is clear that we must address the deep-seated disparities in healthcare and other metrics that contributed to higher rates of infection and death in diverse communities at its height,” Huynh said. “We must also continue to make sure that Illinois remains a welcoming state for the countless families and individuals who come to the United States seek a better way of life.”

Huynh serves on the following committees:

• Appropriations – Health and Human Services
• Appropriations – General Service
• Health Care Availability and Access
• Housing
• Immigration and Human Rights
• Transportation: Regulation, Roads, and Bridges

“It is essential for us to be willing to think in nontraditional ways to find the most effective solutions to the challenges we face,” said Huynh. “I know there is great experience in my fellow committee members on these issues, and I look forward to continuing to work with them to get things done on behalf of the people of our great state.”
