Linda Holmes for senate

Linda is a moderate Democrat who, as your Senator of the 42nd District, brings a no-nonsense, common sense approach to the Illinois Senate. Linda has a reputation of listening to the "people" and speaking out on quality of life issues that affect our daily lives.

Important issues to Linda are healthcare & health insurance, education (ensuring a strong and affordable higher education system for all), jobs and the economy (promote entrepreneurial spirit with opportunities), individual rights (the right for women to make decisions that affect her body), senior issues (concerns about affordable medical care, prescription drugs, high energy costs, while on a fixed income), environmental conservation (protecting and preserving the environment - clean air/clean water).

Linda believes that just as business owners, individuals and families must be financially responsible, so our government has the obligation to do the same. Linda will continue to represent the 42nd District to ensure fiscal responsibility by our government, while serving the needs of her constituents. Linda believes public officials should be accessible to the public and welcomes input from her constituents.
