  • 117Th Illinois Congressional Delegation
    ILLINOIS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION 117th Congress Two Senators represent each state in the U.S. Senate and are elected to serve six-year terms. U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D) of Springfield was elected to represent Illinois for a fifth term in 2020. Tammy Duckworth of Hoffman Estates (D) was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016. (See pages 16-19 for U.S. Senator photos and biographies.) In the November 2020 general election, Illinois voters elected 18 candidates to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives for two-year terms. Thirteen Democratic and five Republican U.S. Representatives were elected to serve in the 117th Congress. The November 2020 general election was historical, with the most women ever elect- ed to serve in Congress. Democrat Marie Newman and Republican Mary Miller — repre- senting districts that were previously held by men — added to the increase of female Representatives. Newman definitively won the general election to represent the 13th District after defeating 16-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinksi (D) in the March pri- mary. Miller won the 15th District seat that was previously held by U.S. Rep. John Shimkus (R), who served 12 terms in Congress and opted not to run for reelection. Since 1818, Illinois has had a total of 20 female U.S. Representatives. In 2021, seven are currently rep- resenting our state — a record-breaking total. The 117th Congress serves from Jan. 3, 2021, to Jan. 3, 2023. A view of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. 36 | 2021-2022 ILLINOIS BLUE BOOK 1st Congressional District BOBBY L.

  • Nrcc Illinois Primary Memo To
    NRCC ILLINOIS PRIMARY MEMO TO: INTERESTED PARTIES FROM: NRCC POLITICAL AND NRCC COMMUNICATIONS DATE: FEBRUARY 3, 2010 SUBJECT: ILLINOIS PRIMARY RESULTS The road to putting an end to the Democrats’ reckless agenda began tonight in President Obama’s own backyard. The results of the Congressional primaries in Illinois prove that Republicans are not only poised to successfully defend all of the GOP-held districts in the Land of Lincoln, but we are prepared to run highly aggressive campaigns in several suburban Chicago districts currently held by vulnerable Democrats. With an unacceptably high unemployment rate, a skyrocketing deficit and an out-of-touch agenda, Democrats are on the defensive, and Republicans are well positioned to pick up seats in November. Open Seats: IL-10 (Rep. Mark Kirk, R) Outgoing Rep. Mark Kirk has consistently beaten back Democratic challengers despite this district’s overall Democratic bent, and Robert Dold is in a strong position to repeat Kirk’s success on Election Day. A small business owner, Robert Dold started this race as an outsider, and quickly proved himself as a political force to be reckoned with. As a third-generation native of the Chicago suburbs, Dold brings with him a background in both business and public policy, having served as the investigative counsel for the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee. As the Republican nominee for the suburban Chicago district, Dold is well positioned to carry on the Kirk tradition of being an independent voice for the hardworking families of suburban Chicago. Dold defeated state Rep. Beth Coulson, entrepreneur Dick Green, Arie Friedman and Paul Hamann for the Republican nomination.

  • Number of People with Pre-Existing Conditions in Illinois, By
    People with Pre-Existing Conditions in Illinois, by Congressional District Prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), insurers could discriminate against consumers based on their current health conditions and medical history. Consumers with common ailments, including asthma and high blood pressure, were charged higher rates. People with histories of serious conditions, such as cancer or heart attacks, were regularly denied coverage altogether. The ACA changed all of that. Now, Republicans in Congress & the Trump Administration are discussing a provision that is effectively a “sick tax” on premiums: People with health conditions (5.5 million in Illinois) could be charged more based on their medical history, paying above-standard rates for coverage. Even if the new plan preserved the ACA’s rules on guaranteed issue—meaning that issuers cannot deny coverage—consumers with pre-existing conditions could still be priced out of the market. Medical history should not be a barrier to affordable coverage.

  • Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 May 07, 2020 The Honorable Mark Esper Secretary Department of Defense 1000 Defense Pentagon Washington, DC 20301-1000 Dear Secretary Esper, We thank you for your quick response to our last letter asking for Title 32, Section 502(f) activations of the Illinois National Guard for our state’s COVID-19 response. Illinois received approval for up to 4,000 activations, and those men and women have been critical to our state’s fight against the virus. Unfortunately, more must be done to address the ongoing pandemic. Therefore, we request you authorize Section 502(f) activations for up to 2,000 personnel until June 30, 2020. In his May 3, 2020 letter to the President asking for this extension, Governor Pritzker highlighted some of the lifesaving work accomplished by the Illinois National Guard. We too are proud of what we have seen. Using their unique training, our Soldiers and Airmen stepped up to fill critical gaps, from expediting the delivery of medical equipment to supporting the rapid expansion of alternate testing sites. We have made progress, in no small part due to the Illinois National Guard. Governor Pritzker, however, must continue to call on our neighbors in uniform: his plan to reopen the state relies on them to help combat the spread of COVID-19 in “hard hit areas such as prisons, nursing homes, and other congregate housing facilities.” An extension of Section 502(f) activations would reaffirm the federal government’s support to states in this public health battle and it would also provide standardized federal benefits like TRICARE health insurance to the National Guard personnel on the frontlines.

Salant, Bloomberg News After years as an aide to Republican Representative John Shimkus of Illinois, voters chose Rodney Davis to serve alongside his former boss. When incumbent Tim Johnson decided to retire after winning the Republican primary, Republican leaders turned to Davis, who had just a few months earlier ended a stint as executive director of the state party. President Barack Obama’s health-care law was a major issue in the race, with Davis citing his private health insurance that allowed his wife to get the diagnosis and treatment for cancer that she needed, even as he called for repeal of the law that is intended to provide coverage to millions of Americans without insurance. As he campaigned, Davis derided the law as “government-run health care” -- a term that PolitiFact, a fact-checking project affiliated with the Tampa Bay Times, called its 2010 “lie of the year” when first used during the debate over the proposal. And while Davis called for the law’s repeal, he embraced many of its key provisions, such as prohibiting insurance companies from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions and allowing young adults to remain on their parents’ insurance plans until age 26.
