Cassidy Appointed to House Labor Committee

CHICAGO – State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, will bring a strong voice for workers’ rights and human rights to the House Labor & Commerce Committee. Cassidy was appointed to a spot on the panel last week.

There is more work to be done, and serving on this committee, hearing testimony from dedicated stakeholders and fighting for the causes that will shape a better future for Illinois workers is something I am excited about.”
