SKOKIE, Ill., June 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, incumbent State Representative Denyse Wang Stoneback of the 16th District welcomed endorsements from the Chicago Tribune as well as leaders and community members in Illinois' Indo-American and Pakistani American communities.

The Chicago Tribune applauded Stoneback's work as an advocate and legislator to enact stronger gun safety laws.

In a campaign season with no shortage of spin and half-truths, the Tribune Editorial Board looked at the facts of this race and saw my unquestionable record of fighting to keep our communities safe from gun violence. I'm honored by their ringing endorsement, Stoneback said. I've spent my career as a non-profit leader, a citizen-advocate, and now as a legislator fighting to get guns out of the wrong hands, because we need real leadership to keep our families safe, not more political spin and hollow promises.

Indo-American and Pakistani American leaders also say Stomenak is delivering for local families.

I am happy to endorse Denyse Wang Stoneback for Illinois House from the 16th district, said Syed Hussani, Past President of the Indo-American Center and Present Board Member. She is an advocate of gun laws and reform.We need her voice in the Illinois House to bring change.

Women's rights activist Shahida Khan stated, Stoneback has earned a well-deserved reputation as a state rep who can be counted on to solve problems and get things done. As a women's rights activist and social worker, I support her for the 16th District.
