(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Republicans chose Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders to give the Republican response to President Biden's State of the Union Address next week, and we now know who will speak for progressives.
U.S. Representative Delia Ramirez will give the "Working Families Party" State of the Union Response.
The freshman congresswoman who represents Illinois' 3rd district, is the first Latina elected to Congress from the Midwest.
In a statement announcing her selection, the party said quote "As the daughter of working-class Guatemalan immigrants, the wife of a DACA recipient, and a former director of a homeless shelter, Delia’s lived experiences have shown her how our country can — and must — do better to have working people’s backs."
