CHICAGO – Illinois Senate Democrats welcomed newly appointed State Senator Celina Villanueva (D-Chicago) to their caucus this month.

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to bring power to the people in my community,” said Villanueva, who has served as state representative for the 21st Illinois House District since 2018. “I promise to offer practical, progressive solutions to the problems Illinois faces and to always advocate for our most vulnerable friends and neighbors.”
