Contact the Board of Elections questionnaire to all 2007 candidates for for more information. Chicago City Council and citywide office as listed by the Chicago Board of Elections. The document consisted of four questions Questions Posed to Candidates for Chicago City Council and Citywide Office 1. Do you support an increase of $1 million or more in City corporate funding for community-based HIV prevention services as a strategy to address the escalating HIV/AIDS crisis in our city? AFC Answer: YES—Until an effective vaccine, microbicide, or cure is developed, prevention strategies are our only tools for slowing the epidemic and improving the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS. 2. Do you support increased funding for Chicago Department of Public Health’s STD/HIV clinics, which currently must turn away more than 200 individuals each month? AFC Answer: YES—Public health clinics provide vital sexually transmitted disease (STD) and HIV prevention and testing services to at-risk individuals across the city. Since STDs increase the likelihood of HIV transmission, effective STD screening and treatment programs are an important aspect of a comprehensive HIV prevention plan. 3. Do you support prioritizing Low Income Housing Trust Fund assistance for low-income people living with HIV/AIDS? AFC Answer: YES—People living with HIV/AIDS need a stable living environment in order to maintain consistent treatment. Additionally, individuals who have a home are less likely to engage in risky behaviors that increase the likelihood of transmitting the HIV virus to others. The Low Income Housing Trust Fund provides rental assistance to thousands of families and single people. Launched by Mayor Daley in 1990, the fund’s board is appointed by the mayor and confirmed by City Council. 4. Should Chicago increase funding for needle exchange programs, which effectively decrease transmission of HIV and Hepatitis C among injection drug users, their sexual partners, and children? AFC Answer: YES—Empirical research shows that community access to sterile injection equipment reduces the transmission of HIV, hepatitis, and other blood- borne infections without increasing drug use.

    Larry McKeon H a life remembered Walking in Friendship · In Accomplishment · In Life · In Service Larry McKeon June 30, 1944 – May 13, 2008 Veteran · Police Officer · Elected Official · Friend Office of the Mayor City of Chicago As Mayor and on behalf of the City of Chicago, I add my voice to the many paying tribute to the extraordinary life and career of the Honorable Larry McKeon. A proud veteran, former law enforcement official and dedicated public servant, Larry faithfully served the needs and concerns of fellow citizens throughout his life. As the City liaison to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered communities, he played an invaluable role in fostering cooperation, tolerance and understanding. As a pioneering State Representative, Larry was a strong and effective voice for his constituents and inspired us all with his selfless dedication to helping those in need. I send my condolences to the family and friends of Larry and hope you find comfort in his memory and the love he shared with you. His enthusiastic leadership and vision will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the communities and causes to which he dedicated himself so faithfully. Sincerely, Richard M. Daley Mayor General Assembly State of Illinois To the Family and Friends of Larry McKeon, As the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, I was honored to have served with State Representative Larry McKeon and to call him my friend. While it is true that Larry will be recorded in the annals of Illinois history as the first openly gay, HIV-positive lawmaker to serve in the General Assembly—a remarkable and important distinction, and the fact that may be most remembered—we should take care to never forget that he was also an exemplary human being and public servant.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).
