RSM Midwest Regional Student Symposium Luncheon Keynote Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti Evelyn is proud to serve the residents of the State of Illinois as their 47th Lieutenant Governor. She is a wife, working mother of three and an attorney by trade. She was formerly an adjunct professor of law and a Wheaton City Councilwoman. Evelyn was born to teenage parents in Hialeah, a neighborhood outside of Miami, FL. Her mother was a Cuban refugee and her father, an Ecuadorian immigrant. Evelyn recalls moving frequently as a child because her parents were unable to afford rent. While they were of little means, her parents were determined to give Evelyn every opportunity to succeed. Growing up, Evelyn developed a love for the arts. She learned how to play the piano at a local community center and was accepted into The New World School of the Arts in Miami, FL. Evelyn not only became an accomplished pianist, she cultivated a love for learning. This educational opportunity allowed her to pursue a college education at Florida International University. Following graduation, Evelyn moved to Chicago to attend The John Marshall Law School where she developed an understanding and passion for the law and for Illinois. Evelyn soon joined Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan’s office as an Assistant Attorney General where she fought to protect the people of the State of Illinois. In 2010, Evelyn suffered an accident while walking on Wheaton city property. Subsequent medical examinations revealed that she has Multiple Sclerosis. Evelyn vowed to never let her MS stop her. She proceeded to run for, and win, an election to the Wheaton City Council on a platform of delivering efficient, streamlined government. As Lt. Governor of Illinois, Evelyn is committed to fighting for all Illinois residents. She will apply the same passion to her new role that has propelled her throughout her life, from humble beginnings in Hialeah, FL to becoming Illinois’ first Latina Lieutenant Governor.​ ALPFA 2016 Midwest Symposium Keynote Speakers Opening Keynote Illinois Senator Honorable Martin A. Sandoval Senator Martin A. Sandoval is a respected leader in Illinois, a prominent policymaker and is considered one of the nations leading progressive voices. He is first generation Mexican-American born of proud immigrant parents from Guanajuato and Michoacán, Mexico. Prior to his public career he was a community leader advocating for parks and schools that would later serve the fast-growing Mexican community in Chicago. In 1997 Sandoval was the force in securing $23M to develop Chicago’s first school-park campus, namely Socorro L. Sandoval Elementary, named after his late sister Socorro Sandoval, a schoolteacher that taught at a Chicago Public School who later died in a tragic car accident. Senator Sandoval has more than 30 years of leadership experience at the highest levels of state, county and federal government. His service includes appointments to the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Washington D.C. and Chicago. He is currently serving his fifth term as State Senator. Senator Sandoval is the first Latino and current Chairman of the Transportation Committee in the Senate. As a freshman senator he was the first Latino appointed Chairman of the Commerce and Economic Development Committee. ALPFA 2016 Midwest Symposium Keynote Speakers Opening Keynote He is a major voice in transportation and school construction investment. In 2009 he crafted Illinois’ Capital Investment Program: $14.3B for roads and bridges, $7B for high-speed rail, $3.6B for elementary school construction and $1.5B for universities. Sandoval’s core beliefs are rooted in the community. He visits schools throughout the year to motivate youth, and attends LSC and parent meetings to share education policies. He continues to provide much needed resources to the 11th Senate District, which includes the neighborhoods of Brighton Park, Clearing, Gage Park, Little Village, West Lawn, and the West Cook municipalities of Bedford Park, Burbank, Cicero, Forest View, Lyons, McCook, Stickney, Summit and Riverside. Senator Sandoval resides in the Chicago Southwest Side neighborhood of Gage Park with his wife Marina, their twins Martin Jr. and Angie and their daughter Jenny. Sandoval was born in Chicago (1964) and is a graduate of Quigley Preparatory Seminary South High School (1982) and went on to continue his studies at Loyola University in Chicago (1986) where he earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology. ​ ALPFA 2016 Midwest Symposium Keynote Speakers 2016 Agenda ALPFA Association of Latino Professionals for America at College of Business, University of Illinois Business Instructional Facility (BIF) 515 E.

  • Post-Election Report Takes a Comprehensive Look at the Voting Totals, Trends and Statistics During the March Primary Throughout Suburban Cook County
    Letter from David Orr Cook County Clerk Dear Friends: This March 20 Gubernatorial Primary generated great interest up and down the ballot, and we saw this result in record-breaking or near-record setting marks in the number of registered voters, voters who took part in the election, the percentage of voters who participated in Early Voting, and the overall turnout rate. Not only have we reached a record-high number of registered voters in suburban Cook County (1,549,688), the turnout for Early Voting was higher than any other Gubernatorial Primary and nearly as high as the 2016 Presidential Primary, and the number of voters who cast ballots in this election was more than had participated in a Gubernatorial Primary Election in the last 30 years. This 2018 Gubernatorial Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 29 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting also set a new Gubernatorial Primary record with 109,811 ballots cast in-person before Election Day. That’s the highest total yet for a Gubernatorial Primary, and for Primary Elections, second only to the 2016 Presidential Primary (120,681). • Election Day Registration, offered for the first time in a Gubernatorial Primary, was popular with voters, especially younger ones. Voters between 17 and 22 years old made up 32 percent of the 4,278 who took advantage of Election Day Registration.

Assessing the Role of Lieutenant Governor in Illinois Sheila Simon Southern Illinois University Carbondale Follow this and additional works at: http://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/ppi_papers This Simon Review Paper #43 Recommended Citation Simon, Sheila. "A Warm Bucket of What? Assessing the Role of Lieutenant Governor in Illinois." (Aug 2015). This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at OpenSIUC. It has been accepted for inclusion in The Simon Review (Occasional Papers of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute) by an authorized administrator of OpenSIUC. For more information, please contact [email protected]. August 25, 2015 Dear Friend of the Paul Simon Institute: Attached you will find a paper by Sheila Simon on the Office of Illinois Lieutenant Governor. In this paper Sheila takes a close look at the position, describing its historical evolution in the state and explaining its current role in Illinois government. She also gives a comparative perspective by analyzing how the office in Illinois compares to other states in the union. She is uniquely qualified to write this informative paper. She recently completed a four year term in that office and has seen its role and responsibilities up close and personally. In addition, her father, Paul Simon, served in the same office from 1969 through 1972 where he set the historic precedent of being the only Lieutenant Governor in Illinois who served with a Governor of the opposite party.
