SPRINGFIELD — State Senator Robert Peters has been reappointed chair of the Senate Labor Committee and selected as a majority caucus whip for the 104^th General Assembly, reflecting his ongoing dedication to advancing policies that uplift working families, protect workers’ rights and promote equity across the state.

“I’m honored to continue serving as chair of the Senate Labor Committee,” said Peters (D-Chicago). “Illinois workers are the foundation of our state’s success, and it’s our responsibility to ensure they have the rights and protections they deserve. I look forward to building on the progress we’ve made and continuing to fight for policies that benefit workers and their families.”

As chair of the Senate Labor Committee, a position he has held since 2023, Peters has been a driving force in advocating for fair wages, collective bargaining rights and safer workplace conditions. His reappointment reflects his strong track record of supporting Illinois’ workforce and advancing legislation to ensure dignity and security for working families.

In his new role as a majority caucus whip, Peters will work closely with Senate Democrats to build consensus on key legislative priorities that matter most to Illinois residents.

“Being named a majority caucus whip is a privilege, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to deliver meaningful change to our communities,” Peters said.

Peters will serve in these positions throughout the 104^th General Assembly.
