AARP CONGRATULATES CULLERTON & RADOGNO ON SENATE LEADERSHIP POSTS

 

Statement by Bob Gallo

Senior State Director AARP Illinois

 

On behalf of our 1.8 million members in Illinois, AARP congratulates both Senator John Cullerton on being selected to serve as President of the Illinois State Senate and Senator Christine Radogno on being selected as Senate Republican Leader.  AARP has worked with Senators Cullerton and Radogno over the years on important issues to make Illinois a better place to live, work and grow old.

 

Now that new leadership has been selected in the Senate for the 96^th General Assembly, AARP urges them to use their new positions to bring people and political parties together to tackle the important work and issues facing the people of Illinois.  We have an ever growing health care crisis and an economy threatening the health and well being of families, employees, and older citizens across the state. 

 

AARP looks forward to working with Senators Cullerton and Radogno and their colleagues to address health care and economic security issues in Illinois.
