                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 10, 2025

  Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
remarkable career of Craig Dellimore and to congratulate him on his 
upcoming retirement from WBBM Radio in Chicago.
  Craig has been a pillar of Chicago journalism for more than four 
decades. After studying journalism at Columbia University, he began his 
career covering Washington politics for the Associated Press before 
joining WBBM Radio in 1983.
  For 40 years, Craig has exemplified the highest standards of fairness 
and professionalism in political reporting. As the host of the weekly 
``At Issue'' radio show and Political Editor of WBBM News radio, Craig 
has covered every aspect of Chicago and national politics. Whether 
interviewing elected officials or unpacking complex topics like 
homelessness, mental health, and gun violence, Craig brings compassion, 
clarity and an unwavering commitment to the truth. His dedication to 
integrity earned him the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Lisagor 
Awards, recognition from the Illinois Associated Press, and widespread 
respect across the state.
  Beyond the newsroom, Craig served his colleagues through leadership 
in the Chicago chapter of SAG-AFTRA, as both President and Vice 
President.
  From the halls of Congress to Chicago's City Hall, Craig has been a 
trusted voice guiding listeners through a turbulent political landscape 
with clarity and insight.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Craig Dellimore on his 
retirement and to thank him for his outstanding service to journalism 
and to the people of Illinois.
