On Monday, Illinois State Senator Karina Villa (D–25th District) officially launched her campaign for Illinois State Comptroller. Speaking at a press conference in Chicago’s Little Village, Karina was joined by U.S. Representatives Delia Ramirez (D–3rd District), Chuy García (D–4th District), as well as state and local officials. “I’m running for State Comptroller because Illinois families deserve a government that works just as hard as they do,” said State Senator Karina Villa. “I’ve flipped tough districts, delivered middle-class tax relief, and led state budgets that invest in our public schools, affordable housing, and health care. I’ll put that same proven record to work in the State Comptroller’s office, ensuring every dollar is accounted for, every decision is transparent, and Illinoisans get real results from their government.” Karina Villa is a lifelong resident of West Chicago and currently serves as State Senator for Illinois’ 25th District. Before public office, she worked as a school social worker, where she saw firsthand the devastating impact of the Rauner administration’s budget impasse on schools and communities.
