You don’t earn the nickname El Gallito—the fighting rooster—for nothing. Known for his fierce oratory and political prowess, Congressman Luis Gutiérrez has represented the 4th District of Illinois for over two decades in Congress. Following extensive experience in Chicago city politics, Congressman Gutiérrez was first elected to the House in 1992, and has since been an instrumental advocate for the Latino community, workers’ rights and gender equality. As the Dean of the Illinois Delegation in the House of Representatives and a longtime champion of immigration issues, Congressman Gutiérrez brings a wealth of experience and expertise to Washington. Join the IOP as Congressman Gutiérrez shares his take on the new Congress, what’s achievable in an era of divided government, and the road ahead on immigration reform.
