State Sen. Patricia Van Pelt speaks outside the United Center COVID-19 mass vaccination site, March 9, 2021.
“It has been an honor of a lifetime to serve the people of the 5th Senate District for the last decade,” the Democrat from Chicago’s West Side said in a news release. “Throughout this time, we have accomplished much change to ensure the voiceless are heard and the underserved receive the help they need.”Van Pelt said earlier this year that she planned on retiring, though she never specified a date.
“I did work for my district and I’ve got plenty of proof,” she said. “Lots of meetings. Lots of Zooms.” In the Wednesday release, Van Pelt said she wanted to “thank all who have stood by me over this past year throughout my health challenges.”
