Quigley Remembers Renae Ogletree

Today, Congressman Quigley delivered the following remarks on the House floor in remembrance of Renae Ogletree:

Madam Speaker, Renae Ogletree dedicated her life to fighting for others.

She fought for equality for the GLBT community.

She fought to bring people together around issues of diversity, development and health care.

She fought for the children of Chicago Public Schools.

And, in the final days of the fight of her life, the community she served for so long surrounded her with love and comfort.

Upon learning of her illness, President Obama wrote Renae, "in trying times, each of us can draw on the power of hope, determination, perseverance, and faith.

Renae Ogletree lived her life changing the communities she served through a perseverance only few may ever know.

Renae, we'll continue your fight.
