In October 2019, Ramirez was part of a group of Democratic state legislators who opposed Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot's proposed plan for the use of a new real estate transfer tax, arguing that a portion of the funds from the new tax should be explicitly set aside to address homelessness and affordable housing.{{Cite web|title=Illinois lawmakers introduce new real estate transfer tax proposal|url=https://therealdeal.com/chicago/2020/02/12/lawmakers-introduce-new-real-estate-transfer-tax-proposal/|date=2020-02-12|website=The Real Deal Chicago|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-30}}{{Cite web|title=What Can Illinois' Jails And Prisons Do To Improve The Lives Of The Children Of The Incarcerated?|url=https://www.nprillinois.org/post/what-can-illinois-jails-and-prisons-do-improve-lives-children-incarcerated|last=McKinney|first=Maureen Foertsch|date=January 9, 2020 |publisher=NPR Illinois|language=en|access-date=2020-05-30}} In early 2020, Ramirez chaired a task force in the state legislature focused on the condition of children of incarcerated people.
