Join Our National Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration!

Join the MWRD and Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García for a conversation on community, opportunity and federal resources on October 6 at the Barbara J. McGowan Main Office Building, 100 E. Erie Street, Chicago.

In 2019, U.S. Representative Jesús G. “Chuy” García became the first Mexican American from the Midwest to serve in Congress. Throughout his time in public service he's been a progressive voice fighting to improve conditions for immigrant and working-families through equitable access to quality education, affordable housing, and economic opportunity. Drawing on his history working with Mayor Harold Washington and Rudy Lozano, he is a coalition builder committed to empowering the next generation of progressive leaders. Currently, he serves on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee and the House Judiciary Committee, and is Deputy Whip of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
