Judy is a legend in Illinois, where her charismatic personality and good nature endeared her to both sides of the aisle. Her decades of service to our state shattered a glass ceiling for women in politics and leave behind a legacy of compassion and dedication to the communities she served. My thoughts and prayers go out to Judy’s family, friends and staff during this difficult time.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
