A Democrat, Holmes joined the Illinois State Senate in 2007 representing the 42nd Senate District, succeeding Phyllis Petka.

In Illinois, legislation follows a multi-stage process that includes introduction, committee analysis, floor debates, and votes in both chambers before consideration by the governor. The General Assembly operates on a two-year basis, introducing thousands of bills each session, though only a small portion ultimately become law.
