Redmond was a member of the Illinois House of Representatives representing portions of DuPage County from 1959 until his retirement in 1981. During the 79th, 80th and 81st general assemblies, he served as Speaker of the House. ==Early life and career== Bill Redmond was born in Chicago on November 25, 1908. At the age of 5, he became a child model on the packages of Little Sun Maid Raisins. After graduating high school, he attended Marquette University where he earned a degree in engineering. In 1934, he graduated from Northwestern University’s School of Law where he was a member of the Young Democrats. His first job out of college was at the firm of Loesch, Scofield, Loesch and Burke. He continued there until his enlistment in the US Navy at the outbreak of World War II. He served in Naval Intelligence and as a Naval Security Officer.〔 After the war, he returned to practicing law and became the first attorney in Bensenville, Illinois. His experiences during the Great Depression having made him a staunch Democrat, he became involved in the small Democratic Party of largely Republican DuPage County, eventually becoming its chairman. In 1948, after encouragement from Paul Douglas and Adlai Stevenson he ran for DuPage County State’s Attorney and received the highest vote total of anyone up to that time, but lost. He made his second run for office in 1950 when he ran for county judge.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William A. Redmond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
