Candidate briefing
Delia Ramirez represents Illinois’s 3rd Congressional District. A housing organizer and former state representative, she champions tenants’ rights, immigrant communities, and a government that invests in working families instead of corporate giveaways.
Why Political Revolution supports her: she comes from the tenant and immigrant justice movements — and she legislates like it.
