"I rise today during Black History Month to commemorate the contributions of Frederick McKinley Jones and to recognize how he helped build our modern world. Jones was a 10400007.docx 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 7th Legislative Day 2/6/2025 prolific inventor who had 61 patents to his name. Chief among them were innovations in refrigeration technology, which earned him the title of 'Father of Refrigerated Transportation' and, as I prefer, the 'King of Cool.' Jones was born in 1893 and, like so many Black Americans at the time, faced challenging circumstances that limited his educational options. However, a fascination with machines and an insatiable appetite for reading led Jones to virtually unprecedented success as an electrical engineer, first for the Army and then for businesses in a variety of different fields. Jones' early innovations included pioneering audio- visual equipment and building the first portable X-ray machine. However, these achievements paled in comparison to his chief contribution, one that touches all of our lives, a new refrigeration system he dubbed the Thermo King. After modifications to the original design, Jones outfitted trains, boats, and ships with their own refrigeration units, allowing produce to be moved long distances without spoiling. He was responsible for a rapid expansion of millions of Americans' access to fresh food and a revolution in how our country lives. Today, as this country faces a White House determined to rewrite American history and paper over the sins of its past, which disproportionately hurt people of color, disproportionately and specifically hurt Black people. So, while we in Illinois, many of us, fight to combat discrimination, end grocery deserts, increase education funding, and build up small businesses in our communities, it could not be a more important time to also highlight Black 10400007.docx 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 7th Legislative Day 2/6/2025 excellence, of which the King of Cool is a memorable example. Thank you."

"Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, today we celebrate the life and legacy of one America's greatest leaders, our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. Born on February 6, 1911 in Tampico, Reagan rose from humble beginnings to become a beacon of conservative leadership and a champion of freedom and a man whose unwavering optimism still inspires generations. Ronald Reagan understood the true spirit of America. He believed in the power of the individual, the importance of limited government, and the boundless opportunities that freedom provides. His presidency ushered in an era of economic growth, military strength, and renewed national pride. Through policies that lowered taxes, reduced regulation, and championed the free market, he reignited the American dream for millions. But beyond policy, Reagan had a rare gift. He brought people together. He knew that unity, not division, was the key to lasting change. There was his famous 80/20 rule that comes into play. Reagan once said, 'The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally, not a 20 percent traitor.' In today's political climate, we would do well to remember his wisdom. He knew that conservatives, while sometimes differing in approach, must understand together in pursuit of shared 10400007.docx 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 7th Legislative Day 2/6/2025 values. He didn't demand perfection. He sought progress. Reagan's ability to unite people was evident in his landslide victories, his ability to work across the aisle, and his unwavering belief in the American people. He didn't dwell on what divided us. He focused on what could bring us together. At a time when the world was overshadowed by the Cold War, he stood firm, calling the Soviet Union an evil empire and urging Mikhail Gorbachev to 'tear down this wall.' His leadership helped to bring about the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Soviet communism, proving that American strength and resolve could change history. As we honor Ronald Reagan today, let us remember his faith in America and his faith in each other. Let us embrace the 80/20 rule and work together toward a brighter future, united in purpose, even when we don't agree on every detail. Reagan office… often reminded us that freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. It is up to us to carry the torch forward, to stand for conservative principles, and to ensure that America remains, as he so often described it, the shiny city on a hill. Happy birthday, President Reagan. Your legacy lives on."

"Ladies and gentlemen, continuing on the order of Ronald Reagan, I rise today in recognition of President Reagan's birthday as well. And certainly, we're proud of all the presidents here with roots in the State of Illinois, but 10400007.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 7th Legislative Day 2/6/2025 there's only one president who was born in the State of Illinois, and that's President Ronald Reagan. He was born in my legislative district in Tampico, as you heard, in 1911 and rose to live the American dream, growing up in Lee County, you'll hear from Representative Fritts, attending college at Eureka College, which I learned this morning is the alma mater of our colleague Chris Miller and is located in Representative Tipsword's district, who wishes to extend his congratulations and commemoration of Ronald Reagan's birthday as well. Whether it's the 80/20 rule, whether it's peace through strength, whether it's a respect and optimism that can only come from someone who is known as the 'Great Communicator,' it's that rich legacy of Ronald Reagan that lives on in the State of Illinois and in the spirit of America. And I'll close with a remembrance that I have a plaque in my office, an important quote that we would all do well to remember from Ronald Reagan that says, 'There is no limit to the good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.' And as we continue to work forward as colleagues, as a House of Representatives here in the State of Illinois, there is a lot of good that we can all do understanding that the credit is bigger than any of us as an individual, it's the bigger mission for our state and our nation, as we learn from President Ronald Reagan. Happy birthday, President Reagan."

"Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, today I also rise to honor the 114th birthday of one of the greatest residents of my hometown of Dixon, President Ronald Reagan. President Reagan has an incredible story that shows what is possible in America for those who work hard and persevere. Despite being born in humble beginnings in rural Illinois, President Reagan went on to become a movie star, governor of the State of California, and later president of the United States. President Reagan moved to Dixon when he was 9 years old. He spent his formative years in Dixon and eventually graduated from Dixon High School. He is famous in my hometown for the years that he spent as a lifeguard on the Rock River in our beautiful Lowell Park, where he's credited with saving 77 lives. His story truly exemplifies what it means to achieve the American dream. Anyone from anywhere in our nation can achieve the life that they want. It's not easy. It takes hard work and sacrifice, but it is absolutely possible for those who want to achieve it. Not only do I have immense pride for sharing the hometown of… with our 40th president, but I respect who he was as a political leader. He was able to unify our nation against communism and led the charge on the war on drugs, keeping our children and communities safe. He believed in bringing everyone to the table, regardless of political party, race, or gender. He understood you need to listen to everyone, even those you may disagree with, to ensure that the voices of every American are heard. We should strive to live these values every day as we work for the people of Illinois here in our General Assembly. We should bring everyone to the table because respectful dissent and 10400007.docx 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 7th Legislative Day 2/6/2025 criticism allow us to craft the best possible policies for everyone in this state. I want to close with one my favorite quotes from President Reagan, and I know you've heard it from colleagues, but it's… it's important now more than ever before. 'The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is an 80 percent friend, not a 20 percent traitor.' I hope we can remember this as we do the people's business here in this chamber. Mr. Speaker, I would ask for a moment of silence as we remember the legacy of our Illinois president, Ronald Reagan."

"On the topic of President Reagan, I want to also add just a reminder to everyone in this chamber that it was President Reagan who signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986… 1986 that provided a path to citizenship for millions and millions of undocumented immigrants. So, as we remember President Reagan today, let's remember that a part of his legacy is that he signed law that provided a path to citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants. Let's not forget that. Thank you."

I've known Nikhil for a while now. He's rising senior in Glenbrook North, will go on to amazing things. He's going to become a nutritional scientist, at least that's the plan right now. We've had incredible young people come to our floor many times to be page for a day. So, if you could all do us the honor and give Nikhil a great Springfield welcome."

"I'm a day early 'cause we won't be here tomorrow, but tomorrow would've been my father's 100th birthday if he'd be alive. And I'd just like to tell you a few of the things that changed in Southern Illinois and on the farm in those hundred years that we've… he would have been on this earth. He was born in a log cabin. The doctor came by a horse and sleigh 10400007.docx 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 7th Legislative Day 2/6/2025 over fences 'cause the slow… snow was so deep. He had to go outside and climb a ladder to get to his bedroom upstairs in that log cabin, where there was no heat. In Southern Illinois in 1931, in first grade, he was taught in German, not English. The year later, they moved up to our current farmhouse, a house his mother used a team of mules to pull all the logs home to be cut up into boards for that house to be built. In the mid-'30s, that house was wired with electric. In 1948, that house had a bathroom put in it. That's still the house that I live in. In 1964, we got a pipeline put in, in the new dairy barn, so we didn't have to carry the milk in milk cans, load it up, put it in there, going to school, drop them off at the dairy. And in 1980, we got our first cab tractor. So, think of the change in Illinois in a hundred years' time. Thank you, and help wish my father a happy heavenly birthday tomorrow."

"In recognition of Black History Month and the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion… thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today… oh, I'm sorry. I rise today in honor Black History Month and to recognize an incredible group of women who made history during World War II, the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as Six Triple Eight. This was the only Black all-female battalion to serve overseas in the Second World War who made history during World War II. 10400007.docx 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 7th Legislative Day 2/6/2025 They were sent to Europe to clear a massive backlog of mail for American troops. Warehouses were stacked to the ceiling with letters and packages, and without their hard work, many soldiers wouldn't have received the words of encouragement they desperately needed from home. The Six… the Six Triple Eight motto was… said it all, 'No mail, low morale.' They worked long, hard hours in harsh conditions sorting through millions of letters, but despite their service, they weren't even… they weren't given the recognition they deserved when they came home. It took nearly 80 years for them to finally receive the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022. The Six Triple Eight's story is one of courage, deep dedication, and breaking barriers. As we celebrate Black History Month, let's remember their legacy and the impact they had, not just in World War II, but in paving the way for future generations to be recognized for their services in our amazing country. Thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I didn't plan to speak today, but I think that it is critically important that we take into account the full measure of a person's history. I appreciate my colleagues across the other side of the aisle and, in particularly, the 80/20 rule. I think that’s a good thing for us to think about, but it's also critically important to 10400007.docx 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 7th Legislative Day 2/6/2025 understand that there's a difference between disagreeing and causing real harm. I was newly out as a young gay person in the '80s during the Reagan administration. That man slaughtered my community. HIV and AIDS ran rampant through the gay community, and our government didn't give a damn and watched people die, waste away, not provide care. The lesbians in our community stood up and made sure that people got health care and had access to food and medicine, not the government, because Ronald Reagan wanted us to die. We can't lionize people and pretend that the evil they did wasn't real. We are now on a track to eliminate HIV, but we're on that track in spite of Reagan's efforts to destroy my community, to watch us die and waste away. And I am grateful that when we talk about HIV legislation now, it is a bipartisan conversation. We have made incredible strides, but we cannot forget the thousands, and thousands, and thousands of gay men, of people of color, of poor people, of people with substance abuse disorder who were left to rot by the Reagan administration. Thank you."
