On behalf of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International and the Cook County Coordinating Council, we are delighted to recognize your outstanding service to the people of Illinois and to present you with the Legislator of the Year award.

This award celebrates your exceptional commitment to lowering costs and ensuring access to quality healthcare for all. Your sponsorship of legislation that caps prescription drug costs, expands breast cancer screening, and secures paid leave for organ donors has made a profound difference in the lives of countless Illinoisans. Additionally, your dedication to making voting more accessible for young people stands as a testament to your belief in a more inclusive democracy.

We deeply appreciate your tireless advocacy for working parents, families struggling with healthcare expenses, retirees facing rising utility bills, and every member of our community. Your efforts have brought hope and tangible relief to those who need it most.

We also wish to acknowledge your historic role as one of the youngest and one of the only Muslims to serve in the Illinois General Assembly, representing the 51st  State House District since January 2023. Your leadership is an inspiration, and your commitment to public service is paving the way for a more representative government.

Sincerely,

Kris Beaudette
