Mary Anderson Bain

“She and Yates were a team in every sense of the word”

“She was the smartest political mind I've ever known.”

“Not only did Mary Bain save national treasures, she is a national treasure.”

“Mary was a hero, not just to me, but to legions of other young Chicagoans and politicos, whom she also charmed and mentored.”

“God, she was funny and full of fight.”

“She hated phoniness and pompousness, and that came through immediately.”

“The first day I met her, I was struck by her warmth and her energy.”
