National First Responder Day 2022 FBOAKBROOK TERRACE – In recognition of First Responders Day on Oct. 28, State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton encourages residents to take time this week to express gratitude toward emergency personnel.

“Individuals working to improve public safety in our communities heroically respond to calls of distress on a daily basis,” said Senator Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs). “To help ensure our communities are safe, first responders exemplify courage and strength. This week and every week, thank one you know personally or when you see one out around town.”

First Responders Day recognizes the work of firefighters, police officers, 911 dispatchers, emergency medical technicians and paramedics and their commitment to improving public safety in Illinois. Senator Glowiak Hilton reminds residents to extend gratitude to first responders year-round for their dedication and remember those lost in the line of duty. 

“First responders have made tremendous sacrifices in order to serve and protect our communities,” said Senator Glowiak Hilton. “To show our appreciation, we must honor and express gratitude for their efforts.”

To support families of fallen first responders, Senator Glowiak Hilton is co-sponsoring a measure in the Senate to ensure line of duty death benefits are fully funded. The initiative is Senate Bill 4229 and can be discussed in the upcoming legislative session.

The Health Equity Response Team of the DuPage County Health Department has been awarded funding to implement health equity strategies, State Senators Laura Ellman and Suzy Glowiak Hilton announced.  

“The COVID-19 pandemic increased health disparities and inequalities in our most vulnerable communities,” said Ellman (D-Naperville). “It is important that community organizations such as the Health Equity and Response Team within DuPage County Public Health are empowered to help close the gap.”

Making up 14% of the DuPage County population the positive case rate for Latinx DuPage County residents was five times higher than non-Latinx residents. For Black DuPage County residents, the positive case rate was nearly two-and-a-half times higher than the positive case rate for white residents despite Black residents being 4.8% of the county population. Established in October 2020, HEART works with community agencies to reduce the disproportionate effects of COVID-19. HEART is one of the 18 organizations across Illinois awarded funding to address systemic health disparities highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

OAKBROOK TERRACE – As college application season kicks off, State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton is encouraging students and their families to explore the state and federal relief opportunities related to financial aid, student loans and college affordability.

Welcome

Welcome! It's an honor to serve the residents of the 23rd State Senate District.

I encourage you to check my website regularly. I’ll provide frequent updates on crucial legislative issues concerning our district and state.

This site serves as a resource for information on municipal and state services, community events and other opportunities available to local residents.

As your state senator, I look forward to working in a bipartisan manner to promote compromise and collaboration and to find meaningful solutions to lower property tax bills, ensure our schools and universities have the resources to be successful and keep our children safe.

Because I am committed to passing a balanced budget every year and properly funding Illinois’ pension system, I have declined to accept a pension as State Senator.

Please don’t hesitate to contact our office with your questions and concerns.

Sincerely,

Suzy Glowiak Hilton
State Senator, District 23
