The secretary of state is considered the state’s chief librarian. Chicago Alderman David Moore (17th) who is running to replace retiring secretary of state Jesse White was the only candidate in the race to attend the groundbreaking.

“You take my own story. When I grew up in Granite City down in southern Illinois, I didn't have a lot of people that looked like me in government service, I didn't know that was an opportunity. They didn't have a booth at your career day that talked about people going into public service. #secretaryofstate

“I am excited by the creative ways the position I seek can encourage the contributions of our young people to Illinois on many levels,” says Secretary of State candidate David Moore. #DavidMoore
