Statement from Jennifer Welch, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Illinois Action:
"We will miss working with Senator Heather Steans, a fierce champion for reproductive rights in Illinois. As the lead Senate sponsor for HB40 and a co-sponsor of the Reproductive Health Act, she was instrumental in fortifying Illinois as a haven state in the Midwest. Her advocacy work for LGBTQ+ equality, health care reform, and women's rights was a shining example of how to stay true to your issues. We wish her the best of luck on future endeavors."
