Rep. to Boost Accessibility Via Satellite Hours

A local representative will soon begin hosting satellite office hours, according to a recent announcement.

State Rep. Sara Feigenholtz (D-Chicago) will start the hours in March, she said. Those for the 46^th Ward will be held on the first Tuesday of each month from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Ald. James Cappleman’s 46^th Ward office at 4544 N. Broadway Ave. in Lake View.

The new 43^rd Ward satellite office hours will take place on the second Tuesday of each month from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Alderman Michele Smith’s 43^rd Ward office at 2523 N. Halsted St. in Lincoln Park.

Satellite office hours provide a chance for 12^th district residents to conveniently contact Feigenholtz’s office within their own wards, says a news release sent from her office. District office staff will be available during the time slots to help with constituent services, questions and concerns. Feigenholtz’s office also welcomes walk-ins.

“I am committed to offering district residents access to my office about the issues that matter to them,” she said, in the release. “Satellite office hours bring my staff to those residents, offering to answer questions about legislative initiatives and to connect constituents with state services.”

Editor's Note: Feigenholtz’s presides over both Lake View and Lincoln Park, and she’s held the position for 15 years.
