In 2010 Frank Sharry of America's Voice, an immigration reform advocacy group, said of Gutiérrez: "He’s as close as the Latino community has to a Martin Luther King figure."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2010/11/29/pushing-obama-on-immigration-reform.html )〕 His supporters have given him the nickname ''El Gallito'' – the little fighting rooster – in reference to his fiery oratory and political prowess.
==Early life, education, and early career==
Gutiérrez was born and raised in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, then an immigrant and working-class community. His mother was an assembly-line worker and his father was a cab driver. After his freshman year at St. Michael's High School, his parents moved the family to their hometown of San Sebastián, Puerto Rico. Gutiérrez, who had never before visited the island, reluctantly followed his parents; there he learned to speak Spanish. Gutiérrez said of his experience moving from Chicago to Puerto Rico: "In Lincoln Park, I had been called a spic, then all of a sudden I land on the island and everyone calls me ''gringo'' and ''Americanito''. I learned to speak Spanish well."〔
In 1974, Gutiérrez returned to Chicago and enrolled at Northeastern Illinois University. He got involved in student activism and social justice issues, writing for the student publication ''Que Ondee Sola'' and serving as the president of the Union for Puerto Rican Students. In 1976, while a senior at Northeastern, he began driving a cab in order to raise enough funds to visit his longtime girlfriend, Soraida, in Puerto Rico. In 1977, after graduating from Northeastern Illinois University with a degree in English, he returned to Puerto Rico and married Soraida. The couple returned to Chicago in 1978 and, unable to find other work, Gutiérrez took up taxi driving full-time. Gutiérrez eventually found work as a Chicago Public School teacher and later a child abuse caseworker with the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://gutierrez.house.gov/about-me/full-biography )〕
