State Senator Feigenholtz: Fighting for the 6th District

As a kid I grew up on the streets of Lakeview. While my mother took care of her patients in her North Clark Street office, I went exploring and fell in love with this community. It’s part of my DNA.

Throughout my time in office, it has transformed from a hard-working industrial corridor to a lively and desirable community known for its vibrant neighborhoods, excellent schools, and well-maintained parks.

I wake up every day ready to fight for our families on the critical issues:

  • Education: Ensuring every child, regardless of circumstance, has access to a high-quality education. 
  • Safety: Working to make our neighborhoods safer by banning assault weapons and advocating for increased resources for law enforcement.
  • Healthcare: Guaranteeing access to care and allowing our seniors to age with dignity. 
  • Human Rights: Leading the successful fight to keep abortion legal in Illinois and advocating for our LGBTQ+ community at every turn.

Representation means listening. My office conducts a listening tour after every legislative session because your feedback is essential to ensuring our district thrives. 

I am committed to earning your continued support by resolving outstanding issues and bringing essential resources to our communities. I will always fight for you and make sure the 6th district’s voice is heard in Springfield.

Warmest regards,

Sara Feigenholtz, State Senator 6th District

Everyone deserves to live in a safe community. Passing responsible gun legislation is of paramount importance in an age when school shootings, church and synagogue massacres are becoming more and more common. I fight every day in Springfield to keep illegal guns off our streets and provide law enforcement with the tools they need to prevent and solve crime.

As the daughter of a doctor, fighting for health care access has always been a priority. Having sole ownership over decision making on matters regarding bodily autonomy is a fundamental human right. I am proud to have twice received the Illinois Planned Parenthood Profile in Courage Award for passage of the Contraceptive Equity Act and HB40.
