Cunningham Announces Candidacy for State Representative, 104th District

ROYAL, Ill. – Long-time senior advocate, Cynthia "Cindy" Cunningham, announced her candidacy for state representative for Illinois House District 104 on Thursday at a meet-and-greet with local labor leaders, elected officials and other community members.

“During Governor Rauner’s two-year budget crisis, the lives of the state’s most vulnerable citizens were used as a political tool by the governor and his anti-working-family allies to push an agenda that would destroy the middle-class,” said Cunningham. “As a direct result of their refusal to compromise, women were unable to access life-saving breast and cervical cancer screenings, home-bound seniors were unable to receive meals, and people with disabilities were unable to access vital care. I am running for state representative because the people of my community deserve someone who will stand up to these billionaire, corporate bosses and their allies.”

During the governor’s two-year budget crisis, Cunningham advocated on behalf of seniors who lost services and the providers who continued serving those seniors without payment. Her advocacy included working with the attorneys seeking fair treatment for Medicaid providers, serving on the steering committee of the Pay Now Illinois Coalition, and working with elected officials to urge them to pass an honest, balanced budget.

In addition to serving as a senior advocate, Cunningham has spent her life dedicated to public service as:
A volunteer firefighter/EMT-B for Ogden-Royal Fire Protection District;
A Sunday School teacher and church council member at St. John Lutheran Church in Royal;
A camp counselor at the Peacock Camp for Disabled Children;
The Director of Adult Day Care at Champaign County Nursing Home;
The President of Cobalt Creek Consulting and Management Services, which assists in the creation and management of businesses that provide home and community based services for seniors;
The President and Advocacy Chair at the Illinois Adult Day Services Association; and
The Legislative Chair at the Illinois Association of Community Care Program Home Care Providers.
“The people of the 104th House District deserve someone who will fight to ensure that they have a strong voice in Springfield that is willing to work across the aisle to protect the middle-class of Illinois,” said Cunningham. “The political games that the governor and his allies have been playing for three years have divided the state, in a time where we should instead be working together to repair the damage that has been done to the state’s social service infrastructure. By coming together, we can improve our state with policies that support both business and labor, all while providing students across the state with a fair education. I humbly ask the voters of the 104th House District to provide me with the opportunity to be that voice for them.”

Cunningham lives with her husband, Keith, a retired lieutenant with the Champaign County Sherriff’s Office. They have three children.

I'm running for State Representative for the 104th Illinois House district to fight for our senior citizens, our working people, and our students.
