Meet Our Speaker
Congressman Mike Quigley
Mike Quigley has proudly represented Illinois’ 5th District for more than 16 years. Since being elected to Congress in 2009, Mike has been devoted to fighting for our environment, small businesses, the LGBTQ community, healthcare access, and ending gun violence.
Mike’s passion for public service can be traced back more than four decades. From 1998 to 2009, he served as a Cook County Commissioner where he worked to increase transparency within the Cook County Board of Commissioners.
Mike serves on the influential House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. This role has provided the Congressman with a unique understanding of the national security threats we face and has informed his role as co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. His position on the Committee also placed him at the center of the years-long Russia investigation and the first impeachment of President Donald Trump.
He also currently serves on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development. Mike has utilized his position on the Committee to bring investment back to his district. Most recently, he secured over $15 million for projects within the community that will do everything from enhancing public health opportunities to improving our city’s infrastructure.
Mike grew up in Carol Stream, IL, and worked his way through college—first Roosevelt University, then the University of Chicago, and Loyola University Chicago. In his free time, Mike plays hockey every weekend and teaches a course on intelligence and national security at the University of Chicago. He lives in Chicago with his wife, Barb, and their two dogs, Maisie and Finneas.
