| A rising political figure in the Chicago area, Roberto Maldonado emerged as an ardent champion of the forgotten in an unlikely way —by listening to the sad plight of his co-worker, a Senior Citizen. Since then, he has attempted to live his life and guide his politics by this simple motto: “The more we can see the humanity of those who are different from us, the more we can see that they are people just like us.” Maldonado’s humanity is evident by the County legislation he has authored and passed —-expanding healthcare, increasing prosperity, and protecting taxpayer investments. |
