Mulligan Proud to Represent the People of the 55th District

January 9, 2001

Springfield…Anxious and excited about the upcoming two years, State Representative Rosemary Mulligan joined colleagues on the floor of the General Assembly as she was sworn in for her fifth term as State Representative.

"I'm very proud to be serving the residents of the 55th District again. Since 1955, I have been proud to call these communities my home," said Mulligan (R-Des Plaines). "It is both an honor and a privilege to once again serve the many friends, neighbors and community members that have helped to establish our fine district."

Upon first being elected to the House in 1992, Mulligan quickly became a leading activist on a number of issues, including health care for women, improved educational programming and stricter penalties for criminal gun users.

During the upcoming two-year term, Mulligan is looking forward to working on numerous measures including work towards a further expansion of the state's model Circuit Breaker Program, and a permanent removal of the Gasoline Tax.

"The next two years will be busy ones, however, I look forward to each moment as a Representative in Springfield and throughout the communities of the district."

Mulligan can be contacted at her district office (847.297.6533), located on Lee Street in Des Plaines, where she enjoys meeting with residents and community leaders. The 55th District includes Park Ridge, Des Plaines and portions of Glenview, Niles and Rosemont.
