In office for 17-years, Rep. Howard has gained national recognition for her work on ex-offender issues and other initiatives such as HIV/AIDS in the African American community and bridging the digital divide in minority’s communities.
Rep. Howard continues to fight for reform and causes that ultimately saves the state of Illinois millions of dollars through her innovative legislative initiatives especially in the realm of her ex-offender work aimed at turning tax burdens into tax payers.
