"Thank you, Speaker. Today, I rise to recognize United States Attorney, from the Northern District, John Lausch. Yesterday, we adopted House Resolution 122 to honor his dedicated service. Mr. Lausch plans to resign at the end of this week after a challenging and important assignment. He was sworn in as the Unites States Attorney on November 22, 2017. And in his more than five years leading the Northern District, he led high profile investigations, battled violent crime, and prosecuted members of organized criminal street gangs and illegal gun offenders in Chicago and in Northern Illinois. With integrity and dedication, John Lausch earned bipartisan appreciation as he oversaw a key front in the battle to combat public corruption. Through his work, this Body has learned to better implement ethics reform, a true benefit to every Illinoisan. Please join me in thanking U.S. 10300019.docx 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 103rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 19th Legislative Day 3/9/2023 Attorney John Lausch for his work and his dedication to public service.

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise for a moment of point of personal privilege in honor of Women's History Month. I rise today to celebrate Women's History Month and to recognize the contributions of pioneering LGBTQ activist and groundbreaking HIV patients' rights advocate Cecilia Chung. Born in Hong Kong in 1965, Cecilia Chung was assigned male at birth. However, in later years, often described feeling different and unsure how to express herself. In 1984, her family moved to Los Angeles, but Chung soon left to attend City College of San Francisco and later Golden Gate University. At age 22, despite opposition from her parents, she began her gender transition. Soon after, Chung lost her job, likely due to sentiment opposing her transition, and then lost her home. In the difficult years following, she also became HIV positive. Despite the extreme challenges of this time, she said she never regretted her decision, saying, 'It sounds painful, but it's actually more painful to not know who you are. I would rather be trying hard to survive than to look in the mirror and not see myself.' In 1995, following a harrowing attack in which she was stabbed and rushed to the emergency room, Chung reconciled with her mother at the hospital. She soon began to ramp up groundbreaking work as an advocate for transgender rights. Chung eventually became the first trans women and first Asian person elected to chair the Board of Directors of the San Francisco Lesbian, 10300019.docx 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 103rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 19th Legislative Day 3/9/2023 Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Celebration. Her advocacy work rose to the national level in 2013 when President Obama appointed her to the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS. Chung served two terms on the council before retiring at the end of President Obama's time in office. Since then, she has spent her time as a high-profile advocate for various HIV and trans rights organizations, advancing the cause of equality for all people. At a time in which anti-Asian and anti-trans hate is tragically spreading in our country, it could not be more appropriate to celebrate this pioneer, who demonstrated honesty and tenacity throughout her life. Chung once said of her legacy, 'I want people to remember me as someone who really tried to experience unconditional love, not by demanding it, but by practicing it.' Thank you."

"Thank you, Madam Chair. In honor of Women's History Month, I'd like to take a moment to recognize a former Member of this Body and the first woman in our state's history to serve as Lieutenant Governor, the late Corinne Wood. She was a mother, wife, lawmaker, lawyer, health care advocate, and ethics reform champion who made a positive impact on countless lives during her career. Lieutenant Governor Wood was born in Barrington, attended the University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign, and later received her law degree at Loyola. And, in 1979, graduated and began the practice of law. In 1996, she was elected to this Body, where she sponsored many Bills and was often considered the hardest working Legislator in the General Assembly. Her hard work did not go unnoticed. 10300019.docx 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 103rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 19th Legislative Day 3/9/2023 Still serving in her first term, she was chosen to run for Lieutenant Governor. On January 11, 1999, Corinne Wood made history as she was sworn in as the first female Lieutenant Governor in the State of Illinois. In early 1997, unfortunately, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and began intensive treatment. It was her experience with cancer that led her to focus on women's health issues during her time in office. As Lieutenant Governor, she led the Women's Health Alliance Initiative to improve women's health and she launched a campaign to increase funding for the state's Breast Cancer Research Fund. Not coincidentally, contributions to that research, that fund, doubled in the campaign's very first year. She also served as chairman of the Governor's Rural Affairs Council, she served on the Illinois Rural Bond Bank, and the Rivers of Illinois Coordinating Council, and was also head of the Illinois Main Street Program. Additionally, she championed Scott's Law. Throughout her life, she encouraged and mentored young women to get involved in their communities. And after returning to private life, she continued to serve the public by getting involved in various health care organizations and served on the board… board as the… served as the Board of Directors for CHANGE Illinois, working for more ethical and efficient government and elections. Corinne courageously battled metastatic breast cancer for many years until she passed away in 2021. Yet she never let that define her, forging a legacy of public service that will long endure. Today, we are proud to remember the life of Lieutenant Governor Wood and her significant contributions to Illinois. Thank you." 10300019.docx 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 103rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 19th Legislative Day 3/9/2023
