She is a Democrat and a member of the Illinois House of Representatives. She was selected to represent the 14th district, on Chicago's North Side, in April 2011 following incumbent Harry Osterman's election to the Chicago City Council. She took office on May 16, 2011.[1] Early life and careerCassidy went to Manatee High School in Bradenton, Florida. From 1991 to 1993, she worked as the legislative director for the Chicago chapter of the National Organization for Women. From 1993 to 1997, she worked for state senate president John Cullerton, running his district office.[2] In 1997, Cassidy joined the Cook County state's attorney's office, initially as a legislative liaison. In 2001, she became the director of programs and development for the state's attorney's office, a post she held until her appointment to the legislature in 2011. Cassidy served as a delegate to the 2012 Democratic National Convention.[3] Legislative serviceFollowing state representative Harry Osterman's election as 48th ward alderman in February 2011, Cassidy was one of 23 candidates to seek appointment as his successor in the state house. The 14th district, which Osterman was vacating and Cassidy now represents, includes the neighborhoods of Edgewater, Andersonville, and Rogers Park. Per Illinois law, the vacancy was filled by Democratic committeemen from the wards making up the district, their votes weighted to reflect the share of the district falling in each ward. Because more than half of the 14th district's voters live in Chicago's 48th ward, that ward's committeeman – former state senator Carol Ronen – cast more than half of the votes.[4] On April 17, the committeemen unanimously selected Cassidy to fill the vacancy. In the 2012 Democratic primary, Cassidy was challenged by Paula Basta, a lesbian and longtime North Side activist. On March 20, 2012, Cassidy won the Democratic primary with 6,040 votes (62.4% of the vote) to Basta's 3,636 votes (37.6%).[5] In 2018, J.B. Pritzker appointed Cassidy to the gubernatorial transition's Restorative Justice and Safe Communities Committee.[6] PersonalCassidy is openly lesbian.[7][8] Her spouse is LGBTQ activist Candace Gingrich.[9] She lives with her three sons on the North Side of Chicago. She is one of three openly LGBT members of the Illinois General Assembly, alongside Rep. Greg Harris, a Chicago Democrat, and Sam Yingling, a Democrat from Round Lake Beach, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago. OtherIn 2014 Cassidy was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame.[10] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/18821584 |title=Kelly Cassidy becomes Illinois' third LGBT legislator |date=May 16, 2011 |work=ChicagoPride.com |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110518162107/http://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/18821584 |archivedate=May 18, 2011 |df= }} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2011/04/states-attorney-administrator-named-to-far-north-side-house-seat.html|title=Clout St: Lesbian activist named to Far North Side House seat |work=Chicago Tribune|date=April 18, 2011}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://blogs.suntimes.com/politics/2012/09/who_are_the_illinois_delegates_to_the_democratic_national_convention.html |title=Who are the Illinois delegates to the Democratic National Convention? |accessdate=2012-09-06 |date=2012-09-02 |publisher=Chicago Sun-Times |author=Newman, Craig |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130502142630/http://blogs.suntimes.com/politics/2012/09/who_are_the_illinois_delegates_to_the_democratic_national_convention.html |archivedate=2013-05-02 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.chicagobusiness.com/section/blogs?blogID=greg-hinz&plckController=Blog&plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&uid=1daca073-2eab-468e-9f19-ec177090a35c&plckPostId=Blog%3a1daca073-2eab-468e-9f19-ec177090a35cPost%3a7f0b9877-b4ea-4074-877b-53629df6e4ae&plckScript=blogScript&plckElementId=blogDest|title=Front-runners emerge for state rep seat that may disappear soon|work=Crain's Chicago Business|date=April 8, 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web |url= http://primaries2012.elections.chicagotribune.com/results/il-house/ |title=2012 Illinois primary results: Illinois House District 14 |work=Chicago Tribune |date=March 22, 2012 |accessdate=July 22, 2014}} 6. ^{{cite news|last=Miller|first=Rich|title=Foxx, Gordon-Booth, Kelly to co-chair Pritzker’s Restorative Justice and Safe Communities Committee|date=November 30, 2018|newspaper=Capitol Fax|accessdate=December 9, 2018|url=https://capitolfax.com/2018/11/30/foxx-gordon-booth-kelly-to-co-chair-pritzkers-restorative-justice-and-safe-communities-committee/}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/4884531-418/lesbian-activist-kelly-cassidy-appointed-to-state-legislature.html|title=Lesbian activist Kelly Cassidy appointed to state legislature |date=April 18, 2011 | work=Chicago Sun-Times}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.advocate.com/Politics/Election/The_Other_Gay_Contenders/ |archive-url=https://archive.is/20120718232205/http://www.advocate.com/Politics/Election/The_Other_Gay_Contenders/ |dead-url=yes |archive-date=July 18, 2012 |title=The Other Gay Contenders |work=The Advocate |date=July 18, 2011 }} 9. ^http://www.hrc.org/staff/candace-gingrich 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.glhalloffame.org/index.pl?page=inductees&todo=year |title=Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame |website=www.glhalloffame.org |access-date=2016-08-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017032241/http://www.glhalloffame.org/index.pl?page=inductees&todo=year |archivedate=2015-10-17 |df= }} External links
