Dr. Patricia Van Pelt has served as a senator in the Illinois General Assembly since 2013. Prior to winning her Senate seat, she ran for mayor of Chicago. When her opponent told everyone Patricia had been a drug addict—which she had been—Patricia received the support and name recognition that helped her win the Senate seat. She is an entrepreneur, author, transformation coach, real estate developer, certified public accountant, community activist, evangelist, and a lifelong resident of Chicago. Her diverse background includes working as steelworker and union steward, co-founding Ambassadors of Christ Church, and founding TARGET Area Development Corporation, a grassroots social justice organization that helped residents evict drug dealers from their neighborhoods. Dr. Pat dropped out of school by age fifteen, but went on to earn her GED, an associate degree in natural science, a bachelor’s degree in public administration, a master’s degree in human services administration, and a doctorate in management of non-profit agencies.
