Jaime M. Andrade Jr. is the State Representative for Illinois' 40th District. He has served as a member of the Illinois House of Representatives since 2013. During his tenure, he has prioritized legislation that keeps pace with technology, protects the environment, and improves community safety.[1] He won his first election in 2014, and was re-elected as a Democrat in 2016, 2018, and 2020. He acts in leadership as Assistant House Majority Leader.[2]

District

[edit]

Andrade's current district is located on the northwest side of Chicago and includes Avondale, Irving Park, and Albany Park.[3] The legislative remap following the 2020 Census will incorporate parts of North Center, Roscoe Village, and West Lakeview into Andrade's district.[4]

Biography

[edit]

A long-time community leader and resident of the Irving Park neighborhood, Andrade has been praised for his community clean up efforts, making headlines when local pigeons took issue with his push for funds to clean up the local Blue Line (CTA) station. From 1998 until his appointment to the General Assembly he was an assistant to former Chicago alderman Richard Mell; he was also a Legislative Assistant and Assistant Sergeant-At-Arms for the Chicago City Council.[5] As creator and former chair of the Cybersecurity, Data Analytics & IT Committee, Andrade wrote the first-of-its-kind legislation regulating the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Illinois. The Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act regulates Illinois employers’ use of AI in the interview and hiring process.

Legislation

[edit]

Andrade has focused on crafting pro-active legislation that keeps Illinois up-to-date with the latest technological advances, protects the environment, and bolsters Illinois' fiscal health. He passed the first of its kind law banning the manufacture and sale of personal care products containing harmful plastic microbeads,[15] a version of which was later signed into federal law by President Barack Obama.[16] In 2021, he carried the Automatic Renewal Contract Act [17] to make cancelling subscriptions easier for online consumers, which later became law. That same year, he also carried the Illinois Sick Leave Act for Aviation Workers in the House.[18] Taking effect in 2022, this allows more than 30,000 aviation workers in Illinois to use employer-provided sick leave to care for ill or injured loved ones.

Political positions

Andrade supports affordable child care, community safety initiatives, elected school boards, environmental protections, immigrant reform, a socially and fiscally responsible state budget, small business relief, and a $15 minimum wage. He has a 100% voting record with the Illinois Environmental Council [1].
