Quigley Statement on the Retirement of Rep. Danny Davis

Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement after Representative Danny Davis (IL-07) announced he would not seek another term in the House of Representatives:

“For the past 16 years, I have had the honor of serving with Congressman Danny Davis in the House of Representatives. From his work on the Cook County Board of Commissioners to his time as Dean of the Illinois Delegation in Washington, Davis has spent his career fighting for Chicago. He has been a forward-thinker and champion on healthcare, LGBTQ+ rights, and criminal justice. His 2008 law, the Second Chance Act, has increased public safety and helped nearly 500,000 incarcerated Americans prepare to reenter society.

“Congressman Davis has been a tireless advocate for underserved communities on Chicago’s West Side, including for Black young people. I’m grateful to have served alongside him.”
