Representative Rob Martwick (D-Chicago) has filed the COS application, HJR 32, in the Illinois House. Martwick is a former State's Attorney who grew up in the district he now represents. He has been involved in politics since his youth, and has devoted his career to fighting for the interests of average working people. He was a Chief Co-Sponsor of the most recent Article V resolution passed by the Illinois General Assembly.
Rep. Martwick will be joined on HJR 32 by Representatives Linda Chapa La Via (D-Aurora) and Peter Breen (R-Lombard) as Chief Co-Sponsors. Rep. Chapa La Via is our oldest friend in the Democrat caucus. Like Rep. Martwick, she was born and raised in the district she now represents. The youngest child of agricultural workers, Rep. Chapa LaVia was the first in her family to attend college, and then went on to serve a combined 10 years as an officer in the U.S. Army and Illinois National Guard. She was the Chief House Sponsor of the most recent Article V application to be passed by the Illinois General Assembly, and is a member of the Executive Committee of the Assembly of State Legislatures.
Rep. Breen is a constitutional attorney specializing in free speech and religious liberty rights. In addition to representing the people of Lombard in the General Assembly, he serves as Special Counsel and is a past Executive Director and Vice President for the Thomas More Society, a public-interest law firm that litigates important cases involving life, family, and religious liberty. He is also founder of the Woman's Choice Services crisis pregnancy centers and Project Gabriel, serving women and children facing extraordinary circumstances like domestic abuse, recent immigration, or unplanned pregnancy.
We thank these hard-working public servants for unifying across party lines to serve the people of Illinois.
