She managed psychiatric treatment for her mother, who was diagnosed with schizophreniaвЂ¦ Frustrated by the bureaucratic obstacles she had encountered, she enrolled at Harvard Law School, bringing her mother and sister back to Boston with her. She became a primary parent to her youngest sister, who was 11, eventually filing for legal guardianship. How a family crisis set her on her path: вЂњThrust into position as the head of the family, Wu, then 22, dived in.

Kelly Cassidy didnвЂ™t vote at all, a protest vote about not all womenвЂ™s voices being heard.ДЄnother Democratic lawmaker put it this way: вЂњYou think people will side with the old speaker over the new speaker? Madigan is gone and no one was going to take the chance to side with Quinn. Angie Guerrero-Cuellar, who succeeded Madigan in the 22nd Legislative District and has a ward office across the hall from Madigan and Quinn, was the only Democrat to vote against it. As one legislative observer put it, Welch took the view that вЂњI donвЂ™t care what Marty Quinn thinks. Welch backed the new boundaries - another sign of his growing influence in the General Assembly. Who wants Nancy Pelosi upset at your vote?) Representatives then had two choices: vote for it and move on, or vote against it and see the process finished in January. His team worked with HarmonвЂ™s team and mapmakers - some of whom are Madigan allies - to tweak boundaries before handing a new version to the Illinois House. Given the area has a high concentration of police officers and a reputation for getting out the vote, the left-leaning Garcia wanted to avoid a potential challenge in any upcoming election. Quinn didnвЂ™t want to see the district broken up. Marty Quinn - known to some insiders as вЂњthe generalвЂќ for carrying out orders of his friend and ally, former House Speaker Michael Madigan, the man synonymous with the stateвЂ™s Irish political machine. Garcia also made sure that the 22nd Legislative District was split between his newly drawn 4th District and CastenвЂ™s 6th. Kathleen Willis dropped her opposition to the map after Garcia assured he wasnвЂ™t orchestrating a primary challenge against her. Sean Casten felt better that he got some breathing room.

Chuy Garcia tapped Senate President Don HarmonвЂ™s team for help before handing a new map to House Speaker Emanuel вЂњChrisвЂќ Welch, who called for a vote.ДЄs many as 10 representatives had opposed the third draft of the map, so the Democratic leaders hoped this map and soothing discussions would change their minds. In the waning hours of the day, when it looked like lawmakers might not vote on the congressional map until January, Rep. 29, 2021, will go down in Springfield history books as the night Democrats defeated the general of IllinoisвЂ™ Irish machine. вЂњBIG wake-up callвЂќ for 2022, texted one Illinois lawmaker. Republicans surged in elections across the country last night: district attorneys in New York, a dead heat in the New Jersey governor's race and, of course, the marquee GOP win of the night, Glenn Youngkin's narrow victory in Virginia.
