Quigley Statement on Passing of Dawn Clark Netsch

March 5, 2013

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement on the passing of former Illinois Comptroller and longtime state senator Dawn Clark Netsch:

"Illinois has lost a true trailblazer and political icon with the passing of Dawn Clark Netsch. Dawn leaves behind a long path paved with the shattered glass from the ceilings she broke for women in leadership, as well as a proud history of fighting for the gay community and standing up against public corruption. Dawn was a friend and professional mentor, whose fierce honesty and sharp wit I will deeply miss."
