Today I had the privilege of speaking to the incredible 8th Grade graduates at Schmid Elementary as they prepared to head off to high school.

It was extra special getting to see some of these bright scholars again after having the pleasure of hosting them a few weeks ago at the State Capitol in Springfield.

A huge thank you to Counselor Lanedra Mitchell for the wonderful invitation to speak, and to Principal Tenesha Hatter and Assistant Principal Cha'Ron Bradley for their incredible leadership.

Yesterday’s groundbreaking at the historic U.S. Steel South Works site is an example of what community power looks like. We didn't just break ground on a building today; we broke ground on a new era of wellness for the far South Side.

When we talk about true health justice, it means delivering top-tier medical care exactly where it's needed most. My constituents have said it best: having a South Side hospital on the lakefront for community access is vital. This project belongs to the people who fought for it, and I am incredibly proud to champion it as we build a healthier, stronger, and more equitable Chicago.

It was an honor to be part of this historic milestone. I am grateful to Crystal Olsen for the invitation, as well as the Advocate Health Care leadership team—including CEO Eugene Woods, Executive Vice President Dia Nichols, Chair of the Advocate Health Care Board of Directors Michelle Richardson, and President of Trinity Hospital Dr. Michelle Blakely—for their vision and commitment.

I also want to thank Aldermen Greg Mitchell and Peter Chico for their steadfast support, alongside my colleagues and everyone who helped make this possible. This is a major step forward for health equity, and I’m proud to have witnessed history in the making.

Rep. Evans joined Speaker Emanuel "Chris" Welch & the Illinois House of Representative in voting YES for the 2026-2027 Illinois State budget presented by Governor JB Pritzker.

This budget funds the critical functions of State Government and continues the standard of fiscal responsibility with compassion that we have experienced with Governor JB Pritzker
