Jesse White, a POC and our long term Secretary of State, and Susanna Mendoza, our State Comptroller.

Dick Durbin knows that power is meant to be shared. He was delighted to interact with this diverse group of speakers and guests.

Durbin is known for his accessibility. He mentors many young people, including women. I have seen some of his aides grow over the years. He mentored Cheri Bustos. He mentored female county chairs when there were only two or three of us in the entire state.

This diversity is the future of our party and our country. It scares republicans. Let's continue sharing our power in other parts of the country.
