- Susan Catania (née Kmetty; born December 10, 1941) is an American former politician who served as a Republican member of the Illinois House of Representatives from 1973 to 1983. She was involved in women's rights issues, and led the unsuccessful effort to get the federal Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) ratified by the Illinois General Assembly. Catania also served as chairperson of the Illinois Commission on the Status of Women. A representative from Chicago, she was described as a liberal, feminist, and maverick member of the Republican legislative caucus. Catania was born in Chicago, and received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Saint Xavier University. She then worked for a chemical research firm before being elected to the House of Representatives. She represented a heavily African American and Democratic district, but a Republican could still represent the district under the state's cumulative voting system. In the House, Catania introduced gay rights bills and the Freedom of Information Act, but both efforts were unsuccessful. During her tenure, she sponsored over 50 bills that became law, including the Crime Victim Compensation Act and a bill that designated Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a state holiday, both of which were enacted in 1973. Cumulative voting was abolished by the Cutback Amendment in 1981, and Catania lost any chance to retain her seat in the House going forward. During the 1982 elections, she ran for lieutenant governor, but lost the Republican primary, which was seen as a referendum on ratification of the ERA. Afterward, she served on committees for the Chicago 1992 World's Fair. Her political career continued in a variety of capacities, including as a fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics in 1983, and a delegate to the 1984 Republican National Convention. She ran for Cook County Board of Commissioners in 1986, and Cook County Recorder of Deeds in 1992, but lost both elections. She later worked for the state's Department of Children and Family Services and Department of Human Services. (en)
