Schakowsky Statement on the Passing of Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka

Statement

Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka passed away on Wednesday. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky release the following statement on the strong Illinois leader:

"For decades, Judy Barr Topinka has been an energetic, down to earth leader on the Illinois political scene. I can't remember a time seeing her on the campaign trail or at work that she was not cheerfully interacting with voters or colleagues, a smile on her face. She seemed particularly at ease with the many immigrant groups in our diverse state, coming herself from an immigrant background. Judy will truly be missed."
