Senator Cunningham was sworn in on Wednesday, to the office of State Senator, an office he has held since 2013.
“My commitment to protect the middle class and support our police is unwavering.” said Cunningham, a Democrat who represents portions of Chicago and the Southwest Suburbs. “To the residents of the Southwest Side and Southwest Suburbs, I thank you for your continued belief in me.”
