SPRINGFIELD— La Senadora Graciela Guzmán fue inaugurada en la 104ª Asamblea General para servir al 20º Distrito del Senado el miércoles.
“Me siento honrada de ser nombrada Senadora Estatal por el 20º Distrito de Illinois,” dijo Guzmán (D-Chicago). “Soy sólo una integrante de la fuerte y diversa comunidad que es el lado Noroeste de Chicago. Estoy comprometida a elevar nuestra visión colectiva de justicia económica para la vida cotidiana y la libertad de la clase trabajadora con mi posición en la legislatura estatal.”
Guzmán es la primera salvadoreña elegida en Illinois para la Asamblea General. Criada por padres que huyeron de la violencia de la guerra civil salvadoreña y trabajaron para construir una vida en la que sus cinco hijos pudieran prosperar, Guzmán fue consciente desde una edad temprana de las desigualdades en la sociedad, lo que dio forma a su compromiso con la creación de un cambio institucional.

SPRINGFIELD — State Senator Graciela Guzmán was inaugurated into the 104th General Assembly to serve the 20th Senate District Wednesday.
“I am humbled to be sworn in as the State Senator for the 20th District of Illinois,” said Guzmán (D-Chicago). “I am just one member of the strong, diverse community that is the Northwest side of Chicago. I am committed to elevating our collective vision of economic justice for everyday people and self-determination for the working class with my position in the statehouse.”
Guzmán is the first Salvadoran elected in Illinois to the General Assembly. Raised by parents who fled the violence of the Salvadoran Civil War and worked to build a life where their five children could thrive, Guzmán was aware from an early age of the inequities in society, which shaped her commitment to creating institutional change.
